The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve got the long-range picture for Coragi. Right now, the surf is small but clean, and we’re looking at a solid run of knee-to-waist high waves over the next couple of days, with a few standouts later on. The water’s sitting at 78°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The action starts Sunday afternoon, 19 July, with a 2.6ft southerly swell at 13 seconds – that’s a nice little groundswell with just enough period to push some shape. The wind is light offshore from the NNE, so it’s glassy and clean. Wave energy is moderate (276), and it’s a solid start. This carries through Monday morning, 20 July, with the same size and clean offshore winds, though the period drops to 12 seconds, and the energy eases a bit (232). Monday afternoon the wind shifts to NE, still offshore, still clean. Tuesday morning, 21 July, the wind goes cross-offshore from the east, but it’s still clean enough for a paddle. The swell holds at 2.6ft, period 12 seconds, energy 215.
By Tuesday afternoon, the wind turns cross-shore from the ESE, and the surf gets a bit messy with cross-chop – not worth your time. Wednesday morning, 22 July, is clean again with a light ENE cross-offshore breeze, but the swell drops to 2.3ft and the period shortens to 11 seconds, energy 195. It’s surfable but ordinary. Wednesday afternoon keeps the clean conditions with a light offshore NE wind, but the swell is down to 2.3ft at 10 seconds, energy 153. Still ordinary.
Thursday morning, 23 July, the wind picks up to a moderate NNE offshore at 15 mph, and the swell holds at 2.6ft, period 10 seconds, energy 203. The wind is strong but clean, so it’s a good call for a session. The afternoon is similar, with the wind still offshore, energy 213. Friday morning, 24 July, the wind goes light and cross-offshore from the ENE, but the swell is fading to 2.6ft at 10 seconds, energy 137 – ordinary. Friday afternoon drops to 2.3ft, 108 energy. Saturday morning, 25 July, is light offshore from the NNE, 2.6ft swell, 10-second period, energy 135 – still ordinary. That afternoon, the swell drops to 2.3ft at 9 seconds, energy 87, and the trend continues into Sunday, 26 July, with 2.3ft at 9 seconds, energy 79, and a light offshore wind. Sunday afternoon has a 2.6ft swell but the period drops to 8 seconds, energy 97, and it’s just ordinary. Monday, 27 July, through Tuesday, 28 July, sees the swell size bump slightly to 3ft but the period gets shorter – 7 to 8 seconds – and the energy is weak (66 to 99). The wind is mostly cross-offshore, but the surf is poor on Tuesday afternoon with a cross-onshore wind. Wednesday, 29 July, is flat with a 2ft swell and glassy conditions, but the energy is a paltry 49 – not worth a paddle. Thursday, 30 July, is even smaller, 1.3ft, and energy down to 37. That’s a couple of days of nothing.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. The standout is on Friday, 31 July. The swell is only 1.6ft, but the period jumps to 14 seconds – that’s a very long period groundswell. The energy is moderate (144) and the wind is glassy, with a slight air from the north in the morning and from the southwest in the afternoon. This is clean, glassy, and the long period means the set waves will have some punch despite the small size. It’s a dawn patrol or late session for the patient surfer. The south swell direction is right on the money for Coragi’s optimum SSE direction, so it’s a good match.
Then, Saturday morning, 1 August, is another highlight. The swell is 1.6ft from the south, period 12 seconds, energy 204, and the wind is a light offshore from the NNE. Clean and glassy. The afternoon kicks up a notch: 2.6ft from the SSW, period 12 seconds, and the energy jumps to 356 – moderate to strong. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the NW, so it’s clean. This is the best session on offer: a solid waist-high swell with good energy, clean conditions, and a favourable direction. Sunday, 2 August, keeps the quality with a 3.6ft swell from the south in the morning, period 8 seconds, energy 263, and a cross-offshore NNW wind – clean again. The swell is getting a bit bigger, so it’s still fine for intermediate surfers, but the period is shorter

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.
