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’ve got one spot on the radar, and it’s a bit of a slow burn before things get interesting. The first few days are pretty ordinary, but we’ve got a solid run of cleaner conditions building from Thursday afternoon onwards. The water’s sitting at 77°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The early action on Wednesday the 8th is a bit of a washout. Glassy wind, sure, but the swell is tiny at 2ft from the south with a long 15-second period. The energy is weak (183), so it’s more of a float than a wave. Thursday morning stays small, but the wind goes cross-off, so it’s clean. The real turn comes Thursday afternoon when the wind swings offshore and the period jumps to 21 seconds. That’s a proper long-period groundswell, and the energy bumps up to 329. Still small at 1ft, but the shape will be there.

Friday the 10th is where we start to see the build. Morning has 2ft south swell with offshore wind and energy climbing to 449. By Friday afternoon, we’re looking at 3ft from the SSW, with a 18-second period and energy jumping to 733. That’s good winter surf. The wind is light cross-off, so it’ll be clean.

The standout window is Saturday the 11th and Sunday the 12th. Saturday morning brings 3ft south swell, 16-second period, and a clean offshore breeze. The energy is strong at 654. Saturday afternoon gets even better: 3ft from the SSW, 16-second period, and energy at 760. The wind is a moderate offshore, so the waves will be clean and lined up. Sunday is similar, with 4ft south swell and 4ft in the afternoon, both with offshore winds and energy in the 500-600 range. For Coragi, a reef break that’s very consistent, this is the best on offer. The swell is small enough for advanced surfers, but the long period will make it punchy. Crowds can be expected sometimes.

By Monday the 13th, the swell drops a touch, but we’ve still got 3ft and 3ft with offshore winds. Energy is still decent in the 300-400 range. The following week sees a slow decline, with smaller swells, but there are still clean windows. Tuesday the 14th has 3-3ft south swell with offshore winds, and Wednesday the 15th has a morning drop to 3ft with a short 8-second period, so it’ll be a bit weak (126). The afternoon picks up again to 2ft with a 12-second period and energy of 251.

The second week is quieter. From Thursday the 16th onward, the swell stays small, mostly between 1ft and 3ft. The wind is often offshore or cross-off, so it’ll be clean, but the energy is low. Friday the 17th afternoon sees a slight uptick to 2ft from the SSW with a 16-second period and energy at 289, which is worth a look if you’re desperate. The last real highlight is Monday the 20th afternoon, with glassy conditions and 3ft south swell, energy at 215. After that, the wind turns onshore from Tuesday the 21st, and the surf turns poor, with energy dropping below 200. Wednesday the 22nd and 23rd are small and clean, but nothing to get excited about.

Overall, the best surf is on Saturday the 11th and Sunday the 12th. The swell is clean, the period is long, and the energy is solid. Don’t sleep on Friday afternoon either. The rest of the week is small but rideable when the wind is right.

Rusty.
