Coragi Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for us.

Right off the bat, the first week is a bit of a slow burner. We’re looking at Coragi, a solid reef break that’s exposed to the SSE swell, and it’s very consistent, which is a bonus. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.

The first few days, from Sunday the 9th through Tuesday the 11th of August, are going to be small. We’re talking waist-high stuff, around 2 ft to 3 ft, with a clean offshore wind from the NNE. The period is all over the place, from 8 to 13 seconds, but the combined energy is weak, sitting around 170 to 195 (moderate energy). It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary. Nothing to get excited about. Wednesday the 12th is similar, small and clean, but the energy drops off even more.

Then Thursday the 13th and Friday the 14th, we get a bit of a spike in size, 6 ft to 7 ft, but the wind goes cross-shore and cross-on, making it choppy and messy. The energy jumps up to 606 and 767 (moderate energy), but the quality is marginal. Not worth paddling out for.

Things start to turn around on Saturday the 15th and really kick off on Sunday the 16th. We get a clean 3 ft to 4 ft SSW groundswell, with a period of 14 to 15 seconds. The wind goes glassy or light cross-off, and the energy is up around 453 to 652 (strong to very strong energy). This is where it gets good. The standouts are Sunday the 16th afternoon and Monday the 17th morning. The swell is a solid 3 ft, period 15 seconds, and it’s glassy. The waves will have shape and power, but that long period means it’ll be a bit more lined up and better for a reef like Coragi. The crowd profile says “sometimes”, so you might have a few out, but it’s worth it.

The best of the whole run, though, is Tuesday the 18th of August. Morning and afternoon both look excellent. 4 ft of SSW swell, 15-second period, glassy conditions, and the combined energy is a massive 936 (very strong energy). This is the one to circle. The waves will be clean, powerful, and hollow. The wind is off the water, so it’ll be a proper session.

After that, the second week stays pretty good. Wednesday the 19th and Thursday the 20th still have solid 4 ft to 5 ft SSW swell, clean offshore winds, and energy in the 900 to 490 range (very strong to moderate). It tails off a bit toward the weekend of the 23rd and 24th, with smaller 2 ft to 4 ft swell, but still clean offshore winds. The energy is weaker, but it’s still surfable.

Overall, the first few days are a write-off. The real window is from Sunday the 16th through Wednesday the 19th. If you want the best of the best, get out on Tuesday the 18th. It’s going to be clean, lined up, and powerful. Crowds are possible, but for a wave that good, it’s worth sharing.

Rusty.
