Coragi Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right, pull up a seat, grab a coffee. This is Rusty, and I've been staring at the charts for a while now. Let's talk about what we've got coming down the pipeline.

The 16-day window kicks off with a bit of a slow burner, but by the end of the first weekend, things start to look interesting. The standout spot – and really, the only true gem on the cards here – is Coragi. It's a reef setup, so it’s got that shape, but it’s strictly for the advanced crew. The water's sitting at 84° right now – a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – which is pretty sweet.

We start on Saturday the 12th with small, but clean chest-to shoulder-high waves from the SSE. The wind is blowing light offshore from the NNE, and by afternoon it’s glassy, so the surface is going to be silky. The swell energy is moderate at best (200). Still, it’s a nice start.

Sunday the 13th, the swell drops a touch to 2 ft from the SE, but the period stretches out a bit, and the offshore breeze keeps it tidy. The energy is around 242 – still moderate, but consistent enough for a fun session.

Monday the 14th, the swell direction swings to the south, and the period hits a very long 18 seconds. This is proper groundswell. The forecast height is down around 1 ft to 2 ft, but with that kind of period, the sets will have some real push, especially on a reef like Coragi. It’ll be a little fat, but the wind is light cross-offshore, keeping the surface clean. Energy is moderate (292).

Now, the first real standout date is Tuesday the 15th. The swell comes up to 3 ft to 3 ft from the S-SSW, with a solid 14-15 second period. The combined energy jumps up to 426 (moderate) – you’re starting to feel some grunt. And with the offshore breeze blowing from the NE at 12 mph, you’re looking at clean, well-shaped lines peeling down the reef.

Wednesday the 16th is similar, with 3 ft from the S, 13 second period, and a consistent offshore wind. Energy is still strong (358). This will be a repeat of the Tuesday fun.

Thursday the 17th is a dead-calm day. Glassy, zero wind, which is a massive positive for the surface, but the swell is tiny – 1 ft to 2 ft with weak energy (113). It’s a great day to paddle around without a fight, but you’re not going to be getting deep.

We roll into the second week with a solid run of consistent, clean surf from the 18th all the way through to the 25th. Expect 2 ft to 3 ft from the SSE or S, with periods between 11 and 16 seconds. The wind stays offshore or light cross-offshore, so the quality holds. The combined energy sits in that moderate 154 to 337 range – nothing massive, but perfectly fun for the experienced surfer.

Saturday the 26th is the second big standout. The forecast swell jumps to 5 ft from the SSE with a period of 9 seconds. The energy rockets up to 675, which is moderate-to-strong. The morning session on the 26th is going to be the biggest, most powerful surf of the window. It’s still under 5 ft, so it’s not a brute, but it’s got more push than anything else. The wind is light and cross-offshore, so expect clean, lined-up sets.

The final session on Sunday the 27th sees the swell drop back to 2 ft to 2 ft from the SE. It’s light and clean, a stylish end to the run.

There are some gaps at the start – nothing on the 12th morning that’s worth screaming about, and the 17th is a flat day. But from the 13th onward, there’s surfable waves almost every day, with the 15th, 16th, and the 26th being the clear highlights.

Crowds? Coragi can get some company on the peak, especially with this kind of consistent run. So, don't be surprised if you see a few other lids out there.

Stay keen.
