Coragi Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Righto, grab ya board and listen up. I’m Rusty, and we’re looking at a nice run of clean, consistent waves ahead at Coragi. This spot's a proper reef setup that needs an advanced crew to handle it, and it’s exposed to the swell so it catches pretty much everything coming its way. Water temp's sitting at 82°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The action kicks off Sunday the 30th of August and we’re in for a treat straight away. A solid SSW groundswell rolls in with 4ft of clean, lined-up surf. The period is long—15 to 16 seconds—which gives those waves some real grunt and shape. The combined swell energy is pumping in the moderate range (726-790), so you’ll feel the power. Wind is offshore from the NNE all day, starting light then picking up to a moderate breeze. Conditions are clean and the crowd factor is only “sometimes”, so you might actually get a few to yourself.

Come Monday the 31st of August, it’s a similar story. Swell drops a touch to 4ft from the same SSW direction, with a 14-second period that still offers plenty of push. Offshore winds hang in there all day, light to moderate, and the water stays glassy clean. Combined energy is still healthy in the moderate range (560-580). This is a standout day for sure. The whole opening weekend and Monday are the best on offer in this outlook—clean, consistent, and with a proper offshore breeze.

Tuesday the 1st of September, the swell eases back to 3ft-3ft, but the offshore wind holds and the period stays at 13 seconds. It’s still good surf, just smaller and a bit weaker in energy (276-400). The quality steps down noticeably from Wednesday the 2nd of September onward, as the swell drops to 3ft and the period shortens to 12 seconds and then down to 9 seconds. The wind holds offshore for most of it, but the wave energy fades and the conditions become “ordinary” through to Saturday the 5th.

By Sunday the 6th of September, the wind picks up to 15-18 mph from the NNE, and while it’s still offshore, the swell is small and weak (3ft, 9 seconds, 96-98 energy). This is more of a windsurf or kite session than a paddler’s delight—the setup’s too straight and choppy for a fun surf.

The following week sees a real lull. From Monday the 7th through to around Friday the 11th of September, the swell hangs around a pathetic 2ft-3ft with short periods and low energy. There’s a glassy morning on Tuesday the 8th of September with zero wind, but the waves are tiny and weak (2ft, 85-87 energy). It’s a long, quiet stretch with nothing to write home about.

Then, Friday the 11th of September afternoon shows a flicker of life. The swell bumps up to 3ft from the SSE with a long period of 12 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 279. Offshore winds return with a moderate breeze. The following morning, Saturday the 12th of September, holds 3ft from the SE with a 12-second period and light offshore winds (220 energy). It’s a nice little pulse to end the run, but nothing compared to that opening blast.

After that, it fades again into small, ordinary conditions through to Monday the 14th of September. If you want the best of it, you get on it this Sunday and Monday, the 30th and 31st of August. That’s the real deal.

Rusty.
