The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here.
We've got a solid run of surf coming up at Coragi, a reef break that's exposed to the south. Water temps are sitting right around average for this time of year at 27°, so nothing out of the ordinary there.
The action starts kicking off Thursday the 13th, but it's pretty small to begin with. Thursday morning sees a tiny 1 ft SSW swell with a long 17-second period, but with that clean offshore NNE breeze, it'll be glassy and workable for the advanced crew on the right board. The real juice starts building from Friday the 14th.
Friday morning jumps up to a 4 ft swell, but it's short-period at 8 seconds from the south. The wind stays offshore from the NE though, keeping it clean. By Saturday the 15th, things get interesting. The morning offers a 2 ft SSW groundswell with an 18-second period and light offshore winds, while the afternoon bumps up to 4 ft from the same direction with 16 seconds between sets. The combined energy climbs into the strong range (609 to 740), and with that long-period groundswell hitting a reef, you're looking at well-shaped, powerful waves.
Sunday the 16th is a standout. Clean, 3 ft SSW swell holding 14 to 13 seconds, with gentle offshore breezes all day. The combined energy stays strong. This is prime Coragi—consistent, offshore, and lined up. Monday the 17th follows the same program: 3 ft to 3 ft, consistent S swell, and moderate offshore winds. The energy peaks around 816, so there's plenty of push.
Conditions hold through Tuesday the 18th and Wednesday the 19th, with 4 ft to 5 ft swells, still from the SSW to S, and offshore winds. The combined energy maxes out at 930 on Wednesday morning—strong stuff. This is probably the best window for experienced surfers. Thursday the 20th sees the swell drop a little, but the morning still offers 4 ft with offshore wind before the afternoon turns tricky with cross-shore SE winds and a risk of thunderstorms.
From Friday the 21st, things go quiet. The swell drops to 3 ft with onshore winds and choppy conditions—a real letdown after that run. There is a small pulse around Tuesday the 26th with 3 ft S swell and offshore winds, but the period is short and the energy is weak. It's surfable but nothing special.
Overall, the top call is Coragi from Saturday the 15th through to Wednesday the 19th. That stretch offers consistent SSW groundswell in the 3 ft to 5 ft range, mostly offshore winds, and strong combined energy. It's an advanced reef setup, so it's not for beginners, and it can get crowded given the quality on offer.
Signing 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.
