Coragi Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for the coming weeks.

Alright, so we're looking at a pretty quiet run ahead. The break we've got to work with is Coragi – a reef setup that's built for the advanced crew. It's a very consistent spot, so it's not a case of if it'll break, but more a case of *when* it'll be good enough to bother with. And honestly, for the first week, it's pretty slim pickings. There's a real flat spell to start.

We kick off Monday the 3rd of August right through to Thursday the 7th. The swell is tiny, mostly 1ft to 3ft from the SSE or SSW. The wind is glassy or light, which is a silver lining, but the wave energy is almost non-existent, with combined energy mostly below 100 (93 to 105). It's surfable in the sense you can paddle around, but it's super ordinary. You wouldn't paddle out for it.

The first real sniff of something decent arrives on Friday the 7th of August. The swell bumps up a touch to 2ft, but it's the direction and energy that change. We get a pulse from the South with a 12-second period, running the combined energy up to 233. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the ENE, which will keep it clean. By Saturday the 8th we get the best of the run. The swell is 3ft to 3ft from the S and SSE, an 11-second period, and the wind is a clean offshore from the NE/NNE at 9 mph. The energy is solid at 236 (Saturday morning) and 217 (Saturday afternoon). This is the standout. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there. For a reef break with that clean offshore wind and a consistent S swell, it should be fun. Be aware, crowds are possible here.

The quality drops off a bit from Sunday the 9th through Tuesday the 12th. The wind stays offshore, but the swell drops back to 1ft to 2ft, and the energy dips. It's still clean, but the punch is gone.

Now, looking further out, there's a couple of interesting pulses. On Thursday the 13th of August, we see a massive jump in combined energy to 276 and 292, but the wind turns onshore and cross-onshore, killing the quality. That's a write-off. Then, on Friday the 14th of August, the wind goes glassy again with a 3ft SSE swell and 224 energy, so that's a solid morning session. The real long-range standout is looking like Tuesday the 18th of August. That morning we've got a 2ft SSW swell, a 12-second period, and a light offshore from the NNE. The combined energy is a massive 359, which is the highest in the whole run. That's a proper groundswell pulse. For a reef break like Coragi, that longer period (12 seconds) and that energy will produce some good, punchy waves. The wind will be clean, too. That's one to keep an eye on, but it's a long way off, so don't book the week off work just yet.

Stay safe out there.

Rusty.
