The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for Coragi.
We’ve got a drawn-out run of small to tiny surf over the next couple of weeks. The first real standout is not gonna be right away. We’ll have to wait through a fair bit of ordinary conditions before something worth getting excited about shows up.
The opening of the period on Monday the 31st of August kicks off with a small, clean 4ft SSW groundswell with a period of 14 seconds. The wind is cross-off from the NE, so the reef at Coragi is looking alright, but it’s not a standout. The combined swell energy is moderate (580). Into Tuesday and Wednesday, the swell drops to 3ft – 3ft from the SSW and S, with clean offshore winds, making for some fun little waves but nothing to call home about. The energy is dropping into the low to mid 200s.
Then we hit a bit of a gap. Thursday and Friday (3rd and 4th September) are poor with crummy conditions and the swell is small and weak. It’s a real lull, and the energy drops into the 100s. Saturday and Sunday (5th and 6th) are ordinary – surfable, but very unremarkable. The combined energy dips below 100 on Sunday.
The first true standout lands on Friday the 11th of September. We see a nice jump in quality. The swell comes from the SSE at 3ft but with a period of 12 seconds, which is proper groundswell. The wind is offshore from the N in the morning, and cross-off from the NW in the afternoon. The combined energy is back up to 276 and 286, which is a solid moderate. This is the best on offer for the first week. The SSE direction is a good match for the optimum at Coragi, and the clean conditions will make it a real gem.
The following morning, Saturday the 12th of September, is even better. We get an increase to 4ft from the SSE, with a period of 11 seconds, and glassy conditions with the wind from the ENE. The energy is 378 – that’s the peak of the whole run. The water temps are about average for the time of year, nothing unusual. This is your absolute best bet: clean, glassy, solid 4ft reef waves. The afternoon on that day turns onshore from the SSW, so hit the morning session.
After that, the swell stays small and clean through to the 15th, with energy in the 200s and 250s, but nothing that matches the punch of that 11th and 12th September window. The entire run is pretty consistent for Coragi’s standards, so it’s never a total write-off.
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.
