The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checkin’ in with the local outlook for Coragi.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a slow start. The surf is there, but it’s small and pretty ordinary for the first few days. Waist-high dribble, mostly around 3ft to 3ft, and while the wind is offshore and clean, the swell just doesn’t have the juice. The water’s sittin’ at a warm 82°, which is about average for this time of year, so no complaints there.
The real story starts to build around Thursday the 11th. That afternoon, we see a noticeable bump in energy, with the combined swell energy climbing to 213 (moderate) and the swell jumping up to 3ft from the SSE with a period of 11 seconds. That’s a nice little groundswell pulse. The wind is offshore and light, so the face will be clean. That’s a standout window.
The following Saturday the 13th holds a similar story: clean, offshore winds, consistent 3ft SSE swell with a solid 11-second period, and combined energy of 240 (moderate). It’s not huge, but it’s clean and fun. The crowds can be around sometimes, but with conditions like this, it’s worth the paddle out.
Then we get into the second week, and it looks even better. From Monday the 14th, the energy starts to really ramp up, hitting 279 (moderate) and then 373 (strong) on Monday afternoon with a 2ft swell from the S, but with a long, drawn-out 17-second period. That’s a beautiful groundswell, but it’s a bit small. The real highlight is the week of the 18th through the 20th. Combined energy pushes well into the 300s and 400s (strong), with a solid 3ft S swell on the 19th Saturday morning, period 14 seconds, and a gentle offshore breeze. That’s the pick of the entire forecast. Clean, consistent, and with enough push to get some proper lines. The water is still warm, the wind is cooperating, and it’s been a while since we’ve seen a run like this.
So, if you’re picking a session, aim for the 19th of September – Saturday morning – at Coragi. That’s the one that’s gonna have you smiling. The long-period swell on the 14th is also a treat for the deep-water reef, but it’s a bit small. Overall, it’s a great run of surf coming, and I’m stoked.
Rusty.

Information about the Coragi Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Coragi provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Coragi can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Coragi surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Coragi) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Coragi may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
