Coragi Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for this spot. It’s a pretty quiet start, but there’s a bit of a pulse building for the end of the month.

The first few days are small, but we’ve got Coragi (reef) on the menu. The water temp is sitting at 78°, which is about average for this time of year, nothing weird going on there.

We’re looking at Thursday afternoon, the 16th of July, to kick things off. It’s tiny, just 1ft of SSW swell, but the wind is a clean offshore from the NNE at 12 mph. The combined energy is weak (168), so it’s not gonna blow you away, but it’s surfable. Friday the 17th is much the same story – 1ft to 2ft, offshore winds, still weak energy. It’s a slow grind, but the conditions are clean.

Saturday the 18th turns a bit messy. That south swell bumps up to 4ft, but the wind swings cross-onshore and the period drops to 8 seconds, making it choppy and poor. Not worth paddling out.

Now, Sunday the 19th is where we start to see a little magic. The morning is glassy, with a 3ft south swell. The wind is next to nothing, just a slight air from the ENE. The energy is moderate (237), and the waves are clean. The afternoon gets even better – glassy calm, 3ft with a 13-second period, energy up to 294. That’s a nice, clean little window for a reef break.

Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st keep the good times rolling. Clean conditions, 3ft swell, 11-12 second periods, light offshore or cross-off winds. These are the days to get a few smooth ones. The energy is moderate, between 181 and 210.

From Wednesday the 22nd through to Saturday the 26th, it’s a bit of a flat spell. The swell drops to 2ft-2ft, and the energy falls off a cliff, down to 45-108. Some days have clean winds, but the waves are just too weak to get excited about. The 25th and 26th are particularly weak, with energy in the 90s.

Then, the standout. The last few days of the month are where it’s at. Mark your calendars for the 29th of July. Wednesday afternoon sees a 2ft south swell, but the period jumps to 16 seconds and the energy picks up to 275. Clean conditions.

But the real juice is Thursday the 30th and Friday the 31st. On Thursday, the swell builds to 3ft-4ft from the SSW and S, with a 15-second period. The wind is offshore from the N and NNE, at 12-16 mph. The combined energy is strong (448-545). That’s proper groundswell. Friday the 31st morning is the pick of the bunch: 4ft of S swell, 13-second period, a gentle offshore from the N at 9 mph, and the energy is 514. That’s a long-period groundswell hitting a reef, so the sets will be clean and lined up. It’s an advanced break, so if you’re solid, this is your session. The afternoon also holds at 3ft, still clean.

Overall, the first half of the month is a tease, but the final three days – 29th through 31st – are the real deal. It’s not huge, but the quality is there. Get on it.

Rusty.
