Coragi Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get stuck into what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a slow cooker at first, but there’s some serious spice heading our way later on if you’ve got the patience for it.

First up, Coragi is the only game in town, and for the first few days it’s pretty ordinary. Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th are flat and lifeless – we’re looking at tiny 2ft to 3ft swells from the south. The winds are clean and offshore from the northeast, which is nice, but with combined wave energy sitting in the weak range (170 to 197), it’s not worth paddling out for unless you’re just messing around on a foamie. Wednesday the 12th is more of the same, with energy dropping to 151. A bit frustrating, but that’s how it goes sometimes.

Thursday the 13th sees a bit of a lift. The morning brings a 6ft south swell with moderate energy (529), though the wind is cross-offshore. By the afternoon, the wind drops to almost nothing from the northwest, and the swell settles to 5ft from the south-southwest. Energy stays moderate (461), but the conditions are looking much cleaner. Not a standout, but a step in the right direction.

Now, Friday the 14th afternoon is where we start to see some promise. A 4ft south-west groundswell rolls in with a period of 10 seconds and energy jumping to 530. Winds go light offshore from the north-northeast, so the face should be glassy. This is a good introduction to what’s coming.

The real action kicks off Sunday the 16th. The morning is *glassy* – pure glass with no wind from the north. A 3ft south-southwest swell with a long 15-second interval and energy of 661. This is clean, lined-up, and absolutely calling your name. Then Sunday afternoon stays glassy with the same size and a 13-second period, energy at 573. If you can only pick one session early on, make it Sunday.

But the absolute standout of the whole forecast is Tuesday the 18th. By the afternoon, we’ve got a 4ft south-southwest swell, 16-second period, and the combined energy hits a strong 1012. Winds are moderate offshore from the north-northeast, so it’ll be clean and powerful. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers – real groundswell with punch. The swell direction (SSW) matches the optimum for Coragi, so the reef will be working beautifully. Just know that at this size and with that long period, it wants a proper take-off. Not for the faint of heart. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, so you might have some company.

The following week cools off a bit. Wednesday the 19th stays good with a 5ft south swell and strong energy (914), but nothing beats Tuesday. After Thursday the 20th, conditions get a bit sloppy with cross-shore and cross-on winds, but Monday the 24th brings another pulse: a 4ft south swell with a very long 18-second period and energy of 627, with gentle offshore winds. Lovely and clean, but that long period means it’ll be a bit straight at the beach – Coragi being a reef should handle it just fine.

Overall, the first week is a slow grind. Tuesday the 18th afternoon is your true standout – bigger energy, solid offshore wind, and that perfect swell direction. Sunday the 16th is your second-best bet for glassy, friendly waves. After that, there are plenty of surfable days but nothing that screams epic until maybe the 24th. Hang in there, the wait is worth it.

Rusty.
