Coragi Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks.

We’re focusing on a single spot, and it’s a reef setup that takes a bit of know-how. The water temp is sitting at 82°F, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The outlook kicks off Tuesday morning with a small but clean pulse. Swell is coming from the SSW at 3ft, with a nice long period of 13 seconds pushing that energy in. The combined energy is moderate at 342. With a moderate offshore breeze from the NE, it’s going to be clean and lined up. This is a classic advanced reef, so the long period will make for some proper, well-shaped waves, but you’ll want to be on your game. It’s a solid start.

Tuesday afternoon holds similar conditions, with the swell dropping just a touch to 3ft but still from the SSW, period holding at 13 seconds. The wind goes a touch lighter from the NNE, staying offshore. It’s still clean, still good.

Wednesday morning the swell shifts a little more southerly, still 3ft, but the period drops to 12 seconds. The wind is still offshore, but the energy is a bit lower at 192. The conditions are okay, but the quality is a step down from the first day. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about.

From Thursday through to the following Monday, the swell stays small, mostly under 3ft, with periods dropping to around 9-10 seconds. The wind stays favourable, mostly offshore or cross-offshore, but the wave energy is weak to moderate, and the consistency isn’t there for a standout session. The combined energy figures drop into the double digits and low hundreds, which tells you the ocean is pretty quiet. Thursday morning has a glassy moment, but the swell is only 2ft. It’s a real lull.

Then we get a bit of a kick. On Friday, September 11th, the swell picks up again. The morning shows 3ft from the SE with a period of 12 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 241. The wind is a moderate offshore from the N. This is a much better look. The waves should have more shape and push. The afternoon gets a bit of a fresh breeze, but the morning session is the pick of this window.

The weekend of the 12th and 13th holds some promise. Saturday morning and afternoon have the swell holding around 3ft from the SE, period at 11 seconds, and a solid 280 combined energy. Winds are offshore and clean. This is a good, consistent run of surf. Sunday sees a slight drop in size but the energy is still there at 245. It’s a solid, fun weekend for the advanced crew.

The final week, from the 14th to the 16th, sees the swell dip back down to the 2ft to 3ft range, but the periods get longer again, hitting 12-14 seconds from the S and SSE. The combined energy stays in the 260-280 range, which is decent, but the wave heights are small. The wind stays offshore, so it will be clean, but the reward is for the patient surfer on a bigger board.

The true standout here is the very start of the period – Tuesday, September 1st. That first morning with 3ft, 13-second SSW swell and a clean offshore breeze is the best on offer. The second standout is the Saturday, September 12th, with a consistent run of similar sized, clean, longer-period swell. It’s not huge, but for a reef setup, it’s going to be quality.

Keep in mind, this is a reef break that’s very consistent, so it won’t stay flat for long, but the crowds are listed as “sometimes,” so you might have to share the peak.

Rusty.
