The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about the next couple of weeks, and it's a tale of two forecasts. We start off with a whole lot of nothing, then we get a proper shot of juice that'll make the paddle worth it.
The start is super slow. Sunday afternoon (the 9th) and all of Monday (the 10th) are looking at pretty weak, small surf – around 3 to 3 feet at best. The energy is anemic, with readings of 178 and 170, and the waves are just, well, average. Water is a toasty 82°, a bit warmer than usual, which is a nice touch. Tuesday and Wednesday (the 11th and 12th) turn outright poor, with waves shrinking to 2 feet and the conditions getting messy. It's a real flat patch, a few days where you might as well leave the board in the car, unless you're just itching for a splash. The swell is short-period junk, under 8 seconds, and it's just not doing anything for us.
Now, Thursday the 13th is when a switch flips. The swell jumps up to 5 feet, the combined energy rockets to a strong 510 to 546, and things are looking very good. The swell swings around to the SSW, a much better angle for the break, and the winds are light. It's still a bit short-period at 9 seconds, but this is the start of the real action.
Friday the 14th backs off again to around 2 feet, but I can see a new, longer-period swell starting to fill in. Friday afternoon shows a 17-second period and a solid energy pulse of 330. That's a good sign. Saturday the 15th is a classic tease: the energy is getting serious, hitting a strong 559, but the wind swings onshore from the south, whipping things up and making it "fairly choppy." The waves are there at 3 feet and the period is a glorious 15-18 seconds, but that wind is just wrecking the surface.
But then comes the payoff. The long-period southern hemi swell arrives in full force. Monday the 17th and Tuesday the 18th are the days to circle on the calendar. The swell direction is clean out of the SSW, the period is a solid 15-16 seconds, and the combined energy readings are cranking – from 752 to a massive 926. We're looking at consistent 4 to 4 foot waves with light to moderate offshore winds. That’s a recipe for proper, clean, lined-up surf. This is the standout window. The long period means the waves will have some serious punch, and with that SSW angle, the break will be handling it beautifully.
Wednesday the 19th keeps the good times rolling with 4 foot sets, offshore winds, and energy still in the 700s. After that, things start to taper off. Thursday the 20th sees the size and energy start to drop, with the swell easing back to 3 feet. The following weekend and into the next week, we're back down to the 2-3 foot range with moderate offshore winds. It stays clean, but the power is gone. It's a slow fade back to average.
So, if you're looking for the best sessions of the whole window, it's all about Monday the 17th and Tuesday the 18th. The direction, the period, and the energy all line up. That's your window. Don't sleep on it.
Rusty out.

Information about the Coragi Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Coragi provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Coragi can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Coragi surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Coragi) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Coragi may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
