Coragi Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s in store for us.

The next couple of days are a bit of a write-off, but hang in there because we’ve got a solid run of surf coming through later in the week and into the next.

Overall Pattern

For the first few days, we’re dealing with tiny, messy conditions. The real action starts to build from Friday the 11th onwards, with a long period of mostly clean, offshore winds and a decent, consistent swell. There’s a standout period in the middle of the second week that looks like the pick of the bunch.

The Breakdown

Thursday the 10th is a no-go. We’ve got a weak, cross-onshore wind and a tiny 2ft swell from the south with a combined energy of only 169 (weak). The water’s sitting at a warm 83°, which is about average for this time of year. Honestly, just give it a miss.

Things start to turn around on Friday the 11th. The morning sees a clean 3ft swell from the SE, with a period of 12 seconds and a combined energy of 230 (moderate). The wind is offshore from the NE at 9 mph. That’s a proper start to the weekend. The afternoon holds up nicely too, with a similar 3ft swell and a moderate offshore breeze.

Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th keep the good run going. Saturday offers 3ft surf with clean offshore winds, but the standout is Sunday afternoon the 13th. The wind drops to a light offshore from the NNE at 6 mph, and the swell holds at 2ft from the SE with a period of 11 seconds. The combined energy is 231 (moderate). It’s clean, it’s consistent, and it’s a treat.

Monday the 14th sees a drop in size to 2ft, but the afternoon brings a long-period groundswell of 18 seconds from the south, with a combined energy of 315 (moderate). This is a point-break special, but it’s small.

The Standout Period

The best of the bunch looks to be from Tuesday the 15th through Wednesday the 16th. Tuesday afternoon delivers a clean 3ft swell from the SSW with a period of 14 seconds and a combined energy of 414 (strong). The wind is a gentle offshore breeze. This is quality surf. Wednesday the 16th is just as good, with consistent 3ft swell from the south and offshore winds all day. The energy stays strong around 309-316 (moderate).

Second Week Outlook

After a brief glassy lull on Thursday the 17th, the surf picks back up on Friday the 18th with 3ft and offshore winds. The energy remains moderate. The weekend of the 19th and 20th holds similar 2ft to 3ft surf, but it’s a bit more ordinary.

The Real Gem

Now, if you’re looking for the absolute best conditions, mark your calendar for Monday the 21st of September. The morning brings a 3ft swell from the south with a very long period of 16 seconds, pumping a combined energy of 387 (strong). The wind is offshore from the NNE at 16 mph. This is a serious groundswell. It’s a bit more for the experienced crew, but the quality is there. Tuesday the 22nd is also a top pick, with a 3ft swell from the SSW, a period of 14 seconds, and a combined energy of 440 (strong). The wind is solid offshore.

The Final Word

For the best waves, I’d say Tuesday the 22nd of September is the true standout. The swell size is right, the direction is perfect, and the offshore wind will make Coragi (reef) absolutely glassy. The combined energy of 440 (strong) confirms it’s got some grunt. This is the one to clear your schedule for.

But remember, this is a long-range call, so keep an eye on it. The short-term forecast from Friday the 11th is more reliable and will give you plenty of fun waves.

This is Rusty, signing off.
