The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's talk waves. We got a decent run of surf coming up, but it's a tale of two halves. The first part of the period has some clean, fun waves, but there's one day that really stands out as the best of the bunch. After that, it fades pretty hard, so pick your windows wisely.
We start off this Saturday morning, the 15th. A few clouds around, but the wind is light out of the ENE, just a touch cross-off, keeping the surface clean. The swell is a small 2ft from the SSW with a long 18-second period. It’s not big, but that long period means there’s real energy underneath. The combined wave energy is at 611, which is moderate. A good day to get wet.
Sunday the 16th is a touch better. The swell bumps up to 4ft from the SSW, with a 14-second period. Wind stays light and clean. Energy is up to 784, so the waves should have a bit more push to them. Good day all around.
Monday the 17th is a step down. There's a risk of thunderstorms in the morning, and the swell backs off to 3ft. The period drops to 13 seconds, and the energy is down to 446. The afternoon looks a bit iffy with tide issues. I'd probably sit this one out.
Now, let's get to the good part. Tuesday the 18th the wind swings offshore from the NE. The swell builds back to 4ft from the SSW with a 14-second period, and the energy is pumping at 947. This is where it starts to get really fun.
But the standout is Wednesday the 19th. This is the day. The swell pushes up to 5ft from the SSW with a 15-second period. The energy readings hit 1130, which is strong. The wind is light offshore, so you’re looking at clean, powerful waves. This is expert territory, no doubt. If you're experienced, this is your morning.
Thursday the 20th is still good, with 4ft from the S and a 13-second period, but the energy drops to 555. Offshore winds hold, so it’ll be clean, just not as strong.
After that, it fades. From Friday the 21st through the end of the month, the swell drops below 3ft. Periods sink into the 10-12 second range, and the energy falls off a cliff, down into the 100-200 range. It's not flat, but it's lackluster. Wind stays offshore, keeping it tidy, but the waves just don't have any life. There are a couple of days at the end with a longer-period SSW pulse, but it's small, around 2-3ft. Not much to get excited about.
So, here’s the deal: Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th are good for some clean, long-period waves. But if you want the real standout, it’s Wednesday the 19th. That’s the one with size, power, and clean conditions. Just make sure you know what you’re doing on that reef. And be prepared for a boring, average stretch in the last week. Patience is key.
Rusty out.

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.
