Coragi Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on the menu. We’ve got a slow start, but a few days later on that are worth staking out.

The Overall Picture

The next week and a half is looking pretty ordinary. Small, weak swell and a lot of “surfable but very ordinary” conditions. The real standout, and the only time I’d get excited, is a window from Friday the 11th through to Sunday the 13th, where the wind finally plays ball and the swell cleans up. After that, there’s a mix of okay windows and some real flat spells, especially towards the end of the second week. Let’s break it down.

The Slow Grind (Sunday 6th – Thursday 10th)

We start off with a bit of a dud. Sunday morning the 6th at Coragi is small, with a 3 ft SSE swell at a short 9 seconds. The wind is a cross-off from the NE, keeping things clean, but the combined energy is a weak 99. It’s not worth paddling out for. The next few days are the same story. Monday and Tuesday see tiny swells, 1 ft to 2 ft, with periods all over the shop. You’ll get a few glassy moments on Monday afternoon and Tuesday afternoon, with the wind dropping to nothing, but the waves are just too small to be fun. The energy is weak, staying under 155 for most of it. By Thursday, we’re still in the same rut. It’s just not happening.

The Standout Window (Friday 11th – Sunday 13th)

Now, this is where it gets interesting. Friday the 11th afternoon, the wind swings to a clean offshore from the N at 9 mph, and the swell starts to show some life. We’ve got a 3 ft SSE swell, but the period stretches to 11 seconds, and the energy jumps to 243. This is the start of something good.

Saturday the 12th is the pick of the bunch. The morning kicks off with a moderate offshore from the NNE at 12 mph, holding that same 3 ft SSE swell with an 11-second period. The energy is solid at 260. This is where you’ll find proper, clean lines. The wind holds all day, and the afternoon looks just as good. Sunday the 13th is a repeat performance – a gentle offshore, clean 3 ft SSE swell, and energy around 221 to 250. If you’ve got a board that loves a bit of juice, this is your weekend. The water temp is sitting at 83°F, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The Second Week (Monday 14th – Monday 21st)

After that peak, things get a bit messy again. Monday the 14th has a funky mix: a small 2 ft S swell with a very long 17-second period pushing energy up to 309. That long period means better shaped waves, but it’s a beach-break setup, so it might be a bit too straight. The wind is just a light cross-off, so consistency is the question. Tuesday the 15th sees the swell build to 4 ft from the S at 14 seconds, with energy rocketing to 550 – that’s moderate wave energy. The wind is cross-off, so it’s not perfect, but there’s definitely some power in the water. Wednesday the 16th is a solid day, with a moderate offshore from the NNE at 12 mph, a 3 ft S swell at 13 seconds, and energy of 307. That’s a good, clean session.

From Thursday the 17th onwards, it fades fast. The swell drops to 1 ft by Friday the 18th, and the energy plummets to 37. Sunday the 20th is a write-off with onshore cross-off winds and barely any energy. Monday the 21st has a little pickup, with a 2 ft S swell at 11 seconds and a moderate offshore, giving energy of 221, but by then we’re scraping the bottom of the barrel. The first week's promise is long gone.

The Call

If you’re going to paddle out, make it this Saturday the 12th or Sunday the 13th. That’s the cleanest, most consistent window we’ve got. The rest is a waiting game.

Rusty.
