Coragi Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks.

It’s looking like a run of clean, small-to-medium swell from the south, with a real standout window of quality surf if you’re patient. Best to get the gear ready and wait for the right moment.

The star of the show is Coragi, a reef break that’s very consistent and exposed to the SSE. This spot’s got a reputation for the advanced crew, and it’s going to earn that reputation. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing weird going on. The first few days are surfable, but the real magic starts to build from the 29th of August.

We start Sunday the 23rd with some fun, clean waves. Swell around 3 ft from the SSW with a period of 11 seconds, and a gentle offshore wind from the NNE. The combined energy is moderate at 209 (Sunday morning), and it’s glassy. A good start, but not the best.

Monday the 24th and Tuesday the 25th are still clean with offshore winds, but the swell drops a touch and the period shortens. It’s surfable, but ordinary. By Tuesday afternoon the wind picks up to 18 mph, and the energy drops to 97, which is weak. Not great.

Wednesday the 26th is a day to sit out. We’ve got a risk of thunderstorms with a cross-shore wind, and the swell jumps to 8 ft from the SSE. That’s a lot of power (energy of 1111), but it’s messy and choppy. For the experts, maybe, but it’s not clean.

Thursday the 27th and Friday the 28th are a mixed bag. Thursday morning has a bit of cross-offshore wind and 4 ft swell, but it’s marginal. Friday afternoon delivers a weird one: a tiny 2 ft swell but with a 16-second period. That’s a long period groundswell, which can be weird at a reef, but the energy is back up to 184. It’s still just ordinary.

Now, here’s where it gets good. The standout window is from Saturday the 29th of August through to Monday the 1st of September. This is the one to circle.

Saturday the 29th morning, we’ve got 3 ft from the SSW, 16-second period, clean with a cross-offshore breeze. Energy is 468 – moderate and building. By Saturday afternoon, it’s a 3 ft swell with a 17-second period, clean offshore wind, and the energy jumps to 583. This is excellent quality.

Sunday the 30th is the absolute peak. Morning: 4 ft from the SSW, 16-second period, light offshore wind, energy of 908. Afternoon: 4 ft, 16-second period, clean offshore, energy of 893. This is very good, sustained surf. The long period means the waves will have real shape and power, and the offshore wind will keep the faces super clean. For a reef break like Coragi, that’s a perfect setup. Crowds are only “sometimes” a problem here, so you might get a few out, but it’s worth it.

Monday the 31st keeps it going with 4 ft, 14-second period, light offshore, energy of 664. Still very good.

Tuesday the 1st of September fades a little – 3 ft, 13-second period, cross-offshore, energy of 353. Good, but not the standout.

After that, from the 2nd of September onward, it drops back to small, ordinary surf. Winds stay mostly offshore or cross-offshore, but the swell energy is weak (under 200) and the period is short. It’s clean, but you’ll be fighting for tiny waves. There’s a few days of poor conditions in there too.

So, to sum it up: the first week is a warm-up. The real deal is the last weekend of August and the first day of September. Get on it.

Rusty.
