The Lowdown
Alright, crew, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s on the menu at Coragi.
The first few days are a total bust. Thursday the 30th and Friday the 31st of July are flat and messy, with no real surf to speak of. The first weekend of August, Saturday the 1st and Sunday the 2nd, are also poor, with only tiny, weak waves and onshore winds. It’s a slow, disappointing start.
The first real opportunity comes on Monday the 3rd of August. The morning is still nothing special, but the afternoon is a different story. The wind turns light and cross-off from the NE, cleaning up the surface. A small swell from the S rolls in at 3ft, with a period of 13 seconds, giving the waves a bit of push. The combined swell energy measures 266 (moderate), which is the most we’ve seen all week. The break is a reef, so that longer period should wrap in nicely. With the crowds only a possibility, this is the standout session of the first week. It’s not big, but it’s clean and fun.
The rest of the first week is inconsistent. Tuesday the 4th is tiny. Wednesday the 5th and Thursday the 6th of August have glassy mornings, but the swell is only 2ft to 3ft, with a short period of 8 seconds, making the waves fat and weak. The real highlight of the whole forecast window is Friday the 7th and Saturday the 8th of August. Friday afternoon sees a 3ft SSE swell, 8-second period, but with clean offshore winds from the N, the energy hits 203. Saturday the 8th is the best of the lot: a 3ft S swell, 11-second period, with perfect cross-off winds from the E all day. The energy is 240 to 260 (moderate), and the reef will be glassy. That Saturday is the one to circle on the calendar.
The second week of August is smaller but still offers clean windows. Sunday the 9th is a bit smaller, with energy dropping to 203. Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th have clean, offshore winds, but the swell is only 1ft to 2ft, with a very long period of 14 seconds on Tuesday. That long period can be a bit straight for the reef, but it’ll be clean. The energy is moderate, around 140. The final days, from the 12th to the 14th, see the swell fade out completely, with only weak, small waves and poor conditions returning on the 13th.
So, here’s the bottom line: don’t waste your time before Monday the 3rd of August. The best session by far is Saturday the 8th of August, with clean, waist-to-chest-high waves and glassy conditions. The Monday afternoon on the 3rd is also a solid bet. The rest is a waiting game.
Rusty, out.

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.
