The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break this down. Rusty here, looking at the next 16 days.
Honestly, it’s a pretty flat spell. There’s a big gap of about 10 days with hardly any surf worth talking about. The only real standout is a window on the afternoon of Friday the 17th at Coragi. That’s when the south swell picks up to 5ft with a 8-second period, and the combined energy hits 354 (moderate energy). The wind is a gentle offshore from the NNE, so it’ll be clean. That’s the pick of the bunch, but the short period means the waves will be a bit soft and lumpy. With the swell over 5ft, it’s a bit much for beginners, but it’s not a beast.
The rest of the forecast is pretty ordinary. Most days are 1ft to 3ft of south swell, with periods mostly between 10 and 12 seconds, so not a lot of power. The combined energy stays in the low to mid 100s, which is weak. The wind is offshore a lot of the time, which is good, but the swell just isn’t there. For example, Thursday morning the 16th and Friday morning the 17th have clean offshore winds, but the waves are tiny at 1ft.
Around the 19th and 20th, the south swell holds at 2ft to 3ft, but the wind gets stronger on the 20th, up to 16 mph from the north, making it messy. The 23rd and 24th have a bit more consistent 3ft south swell with moderate offshore winds, so it’s rideable but nothing special.
The very end of the run, on the 30th, shows a spike in combined energy to 242 with a south-southwest swell of 1ft and a long 16-second period, but again, it’s tiny. That long period will make the waves slow and fat, better for a log or a longboard, if anything.
The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no surprises.
So, bottom line: the only one I’d paddle out for is the Friday afternoon session on the 17th. It’s not a classic, but it’s the best of a quiet lot. The rest is a waiting game.

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.
