Coragi Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s talk about what’s coming up. This is pretty much all about one spot.

This reef set-up is the only game in town for the next couple of weeks. It’s a super consistent, advanced-level break that’s fully exposed to the south-southeast swell, which is exactly where the main energy is coming from. The water’s sitting at 81°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The first real window of clean surf kicks off Friday morning, August 14th. We’re looking at a small 2ft swell from the south, but the period is a very long 16 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy, and with a light offshore breeze, it’ll be glassy. The combined energy is moderate at 234. Not a standout day, but it’s a start.

By Saturday the 15th, things step up. The swell bumps to 2ft in the morning, still from the south-southwest with a long 18 second period, and the energy jumps to 611. It’s clean and cross-offshore. The afternoon pushes to 4ft, same direction, still a solid 16 second period. This is the best day of the early run. The wave quality is looking very good, and the winds are light, so expect some proper lines.

Sunday the 16th holds similar quality. Morning brings 4ft from the south-southwest, 14 second period, gentle offshore breeze. The energy is strong at 764. The afternoon is a touch smaller but still clean. Monday the 17th keeps the consistency with a moderate offshore breeze, 3ft to 3ft, and energy levels staying strong.

Now, the standout window is Wednesday the 19th. Morning swell hits 5ft from the south-southwest, with a 15 second period and a moderate offshore breeze. The energy is 933. This is the strongest, cleanest swell of the whole stretch. The afternoon holds at 4ft with the same offshore wind. For an advanced crew, this is the pick of the week. The swell is big enough to get pitted, but not too big for an experienced surfer.

After the 20th, things taper off. The swell drops, the winds get a bit funky on Thursday afternoon with a cross-onshore choppy mess, but the mornings still hold clean. From the 22nd onwards, the swell gets smaller, the periods drop, and the energy weakens. There’s a solid run of surfable conditions through to the 24th, but nothing that compares to the 19th.

By the 25th and 26th, the swell picks up again to 4ft to 5ft, but the period is short, around 8 seconds, and the wind is cross or cross-onshore. That’s messy, weak windswell. Not great for the reef. The 27th and 28th see a return to small, clean conditions, but the energy is low.

The very end of the outlook, the 29th, is flat and choppy. A poor finish.

So, the real standout is Wednesday the 19th of August. That’s the day to paddle out. Saturday the 15th is a close second for cleaner, smaller waves. If you’re an advanced surfer, you’ll be smiling. Beginners should steer clear of the bigger days—especially anything over 4ft here is getting into expert territory.

Stay safe out there.
