The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee and let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks. We’re talkin’ Coragi, a reef break that’s advanced and only for the experienced crew. It’s exposed to the swell and loves an SSE direction, but right now, it’s a bit of a slow burner.
The water temp is sittin’ at 79°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first few days are nothin’ to write home about. Monday the 3rd to Wednesday the 5th are tiny, with waves barely pushin’ 2 ft, and the energy is weak (110). The swell is short period, so it’s messy and uninspiring. You’ll get glassy conditions on the Monday morning, but the wave quality is just not there. It’s a real “wait and see” start.
Thursday the 6th is still flat and weak, with a cross-shore wind messin’ up the afternoon. Not worth paddlin’ out.
Then we start to see a little life on Friday the 7th. The swell picks up a touch to 2 ft from the S with a longer 12-second period, and the wind turns cross-offshore. The energy jumps to 280 (moderate), and the morning looks clean. It’s a small wave, but for the advanced crew, it’ll be a fun session on the reef.
Saturday the 8th is the real standout of the first week. Morning brings a clean 3 ft S swell, 11-second period, and a gentle offshore breeze. The energy is solid at 270. The afternoon holds up with 3 ft and the same clean offshores. This is your best bet for the next few days – a small, clean, rippable wave with no crowds to worry about, just a “sometimes” crowd factor.
Sunday the 9th through Tuesday the 11th are still surfable, but the size drops back to 1-3 ft. The wind stays offshore, so it’s clean, but you’re workin’ for every wave. The energy is moderate, and the conditions are consistent, but the swell is just too small for excitement.
Wednesday the 12th and Thursday the 13th are a write-off. The wind swings onshore, and the surf quality goes to zero. The swell is short period and messy. Skip it.
Friday the 14th and Saturday the 15th are still poor. The swell is tiny, and the wind is all over the place. The energy is weak, and the waves are a struggle.
Sunday the 16th and Monday the 17th are a mixed bag. Sunday is a no-go with cross-on winds, but Monday the 17th afternoon shows a spike of energy (308) with a very long period 19-second swell, but only 1 ft. It’s clean, but it’s a tease.
Now, here’s the one to circle on your calendar. Tuesday the 18th is the real deal. Early morning, we’re lookin’ at a 3 ft S swell with a 16-second period and a solid offshore breeze. The energy is massive at 712 (strong to very strong). The afternoon is even better at 4 ft with the same long period and offshore wind, energy at 836. This is the best surf on offer. The reef will handle that long period beautifully, and the offshore wind will keep it glassy. For the advanced crew, this is a dream session. Just be aware that with that long period, the sets will be spaced out, but when they come, they’ll have real power.
So, in a nutshell: forget the first week. Saturday the 8th is your only decent, clean option for a small wave. Then, hold out for Tuesday the 18th – that’s the standout. The rest is a long stretch of flat or poor conditions. But for the one day, it’ll be worth the wait.

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.
