Coragi Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s break down what’s coming at Coragi over the next couple of weeks.

We’re starting with a solid run of surf kicking off Friday the 10th of July and carrying through the weekend. Water temp is 77°, pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year—nothing unusual. The pattern is a steady pulse of moderate groundswell with clean conditions, and those first few days are the real standout. The combined swell energy is sitting in the moderate to strong range, around 733 (moderate) Friday afternoon, and holding in the 660–737 bracket through Saturday. That’s proper energy for a reef.

The pick of the bunch is Coragi—an exposed reef, advanced-level spot, breaks very consistently, and the optimum swell direction is SSE. We’re seeing SSW and S swells lining up well. From Friday afternoon through Sunday, you’ve got 3ft to 4ft of clean swell, all under a steady NNE offshore breeze at 9–16 mph. Periods are between 14 and 18 seconds—long-period groundswell with real shape and power. That longer period can make beach breaks a bit straight, but on a reef like Coragi, it’s ideal—good lines, longer lulls, easier paddling.

Saturday morning (11th July) is a beauty—3ft from the south, 16-second period, gentle offshore at 9 mph. Glassy, lined up, and the crowd factor is “sometimes,” so you might see a few others, but it’s not crowded. By Sunday (12th July), the swell bumps to 4–4ft with a 14-second period. Still clean, still offshore. This is the best stretch of the whole outlook.

Monday the 13th keeps it fun with 3ft and offshore winds, but the swell energy drops to 396—still moderate but weaker. Period shortens to 13 seconds. Good, but not as punchy. From Tuesday the 14th onward, the swell fades. Tuesday morning has 2ft, and by Wednesday it’s down to 2–2ft. Combined energy drops into the 130–211 range (weak to low moderate). Conditions stay clean with offshore breezes, but it’s ordinary—small, weak.

There’s a gap of a few marginal days. Thursday the 16th and Friday the 17th see tiny 1ft swells, though Friday afternoon goes glassy with a 2ft south swell—still pretty flat. Then Saturday the 18th delivers a little pulse: 3ft from the SSW, 15-second period, and glassy in the morning. Energy jumps to 342 (moderate). That’s a nice surprise—clean, small but decent shape. Sunday the 19th holds 3ft from the south, period 13 seconds, clean in the morning but turning cross-shore by afternoon. Not a standout, but a fun little window.

Monday the 20th is similar—3–4ft, 13–14 seconds, light offshore breezes. Combined energy hits 474—moderate and worth a look. After that, it goes downhill. Tuesday the 21st brings onshore breezes, swell drops to 2–3ft, with poor conditions by afternoon. Wednesday and Thursday are small (2–2ft) and mostly glassy or clean, but weak. From Friday the 24th through Saturday the 25th, the swell sticks around 2–3ft but the period plummets to 8 seconds—short-period, weak windswell. Combined energy is barely 99–125, which is weak. Not worth paddling out for.

Overall, the first weekend (10th–12th July) is the clear winner. After that, you’ve got a few smaller but clean windows around the 18th–20th, then it fades into small, weak conditions and eventually short-period slop. The long-range stuff around the 24th–25th is too far off and too weak to get excited about.

Stay safe, keep your head on a swivel, and enjoy those clean groundswell lines while they last.

Rusty.
