Coragi Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here with a look at what's coming up.

We're looking at a period that starts off with a bit of shape, nothing huge, but it's clean. The standout window is the first three days, and then it gets a bit fickle for a stretch before maybe a little pulse of energy towards the end of the first week and into the start of August.

First up, Wednesday morning the 22nd at Coragi. This is a reef setup, so it's for the advanced crew. We've got a south swell coming in at about 3ft with a period of 11 seconds, which is a nice groundswell. The wind is a light cross-off from the NE at 6 mph, and it's clean. The combined energy is moderate at 222, and it's the best on offer for the start of the run. The water temp is about average for this time of year.

That sets the tone for the next few days. Through to Friday the 24th, we're looking at south swells, mostly around 2ft to 3ft, with moderate energy (values between 102 and 206). The wind stays offshore or light cross-off, so conditions will be clean. It's not going to blow your mind, but it's surfable and consistent. The reef will handle the longer period swell well, keeping things lined up.

Now, we hit a bit of a gap. From Sunday the 27th through to Wednesday the 30th, the energy drops right off. The combined energy falls into the weak range (values between 48 and 73), and the swell period drops to 7-8 seconds. It's mostly poor surf conditions, with only a few moments of "surfable but very ordinary." It's a quiet spell of about 4-5 days where you'd be better off doing something else.

Then, things start to look interesting again. On Thursday the 31st of July, we see a new pulse of energy. The afternoon shows a south swell at about 2ft with a period of 13 seconds, and the combined energy jumps back to a solid 206. The wind is offshore from the north at 9 mph. It's a promising sign.

That leads into what might be the real highlight of the whole outlook. Saturday the 1st of August is looking good. We've got a solid south swell at about 2ft, with a period of 12-13 seconds. The energy is strong, with values of 219 and 213. The wind is light offshore from the north-northeast and north, so it's going to be clean. This is the one to circle on the calendar. It's a bit further out, so it's a little less certain, but the potential is there for some of the best waves of the window.

After that peak, it tails off again. The energy drops, and the swell period shortens up, with the odd glassy moment on the 4th of August, but nothing that really stands out. The morning of the 5th of August bumps up to 3ft, but it's a short-period SSE windswell, so it won't hold the same quality as the groundswell from the start of the month.

So, to sum it up: if you're in the advanced crew, hit Coragi on Wednesday the 22nd for the cleanest start. For the best bet overall, keep your eyes on Saturday the 1st of August. It's got the best combo of swell size, good period, and clean offshore wind.

Rusty.
