The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it for the Coragi region. We've got a bit of a slow start, but a solid run of clean waves on the horizon. The water’s sitting around 82° right now, which is just about normal for this time of year.
The first few days are pretty average, with some small, weak swell. Saturday the 22nd and Sunday the 23rd offer knee-to-waist high waves around 3ft from the S/SW, with light offshore winds keeping things tidy. The energy is low, so it's more about getting wet than getting barreled. Monday the 24th and Tuesday the 25th see the swell period drop off, making for weak, crumbly waves. Not really worth the paddle.
Now, Wednesday the 26th is where it picks up. The swell jumps to a solid 6ft from the SSE, with a moderate period and combined energy roaring up. This is a solid step up in size and power, but the morning winds are cross-offshore, so expect some texture on the face. It's still surfable, but the afternoon shifts to a cross-shore breeze, making it a bit trickier.
Thursday the 27th and Friday the 28th drop back down to small, weak surf, but then we get to the real standout.
The period from Saturday the 29th of August right through to Wednesday the 3rd of September is the gold run. The star of the show is the Saturday afternoon session on the 29th. The swell is a clean 3-4ft from the SSW, but the period stretches out to a long 17 seconds, and the combined energy is pumping. That’s a quality groundswell with some serious grunt. The wind is light and cross-offshore, so expect clean, lined-up waves at Coragi. This is the best the forecast has to offer – long-period energy, light wind, and just a fun size.
Sunday the 30th holds similar quality with a 4ft+ SSW swell, long period, and even more energy. Winds stay light and offshore. These two days are the clear winners for the whole outlook.
Monday the 31st and Tuesday the 1st of September still offer good, clean surf with offshore winds, but the swell size and energy start to slowly drop. The glassy conditions on Wednesday the 2nd of September afternoon, with waist-high S swell, look real nice for a small-wave session.
After that, the last few days of the forecast, into the first week of September, look pretty quiet with small, weak swell and building winds. The run of good waves will be over.
Bottom line: forget the early week doldrums. The standout is the Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th of August for the best combination of clean, long-period groundswell and light winds. Get on it.
Rusty.

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.
