The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on offer for us. Looks like we’ve got a decent run ahead, starting from this Saturday afternoon.
We kick things off on the 12th of September at Coragi, a reef break that handles an exposed southerly swell. The water’s a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at about 84°F. Swell is coming in at 3 ft from the SSE with an 11-second period, and a clean offshore wind from the NNE is blowing at 12 mph. It’s not big, but with that moderate offshore breeze and a moderate combined wave energy (200), it’s a solid, clean start. You’ll want to be dialled in for the reef, but this one’s worth the paddle out.
Sunday the 13th keeps it going. Morning sees a light NE breeze at 6 mph, offshore, with 2 ft of SE swell and the same 11-second period. The combined energy bumps up to 242, and the conditions are labelled clean. The afternoon holds the same size and direction, with a shift to light north winds at 6 mph, also offshore. Both sessions look good.
Monday the 14th is a beauty. Clear skies, light cross-offshore breeze from the ENE and E at 6 mph. Swell holds at 2 ft SSE in the morning, then drops to 2 ft in the afternoon, but the period stretches way out to 18 seconds in the afternoon. Combined energy is 292. That’s a long-period groundswell, which will wrap nicely into the reef. Paddling out will be easier between sets.
Tuesday the 15th gets a little punchier. Morning sees a moderate NE breeze at 16 mph, cross-offshore, with 3 ft of S swell and a 15-second period – combined energy jumps to 425. It’s labelled as marginal, but the afternoon cleans right up. NNE wind 12 mph, offshore, with 3 ft S swell, 14-second period, and a combined 402. Moderate offshore and clean – this is the best session of the week so far.
Wednesday the 16th and Thursday the 17th are both worth your time. Wednesday has clear 3 ft S swell in the morning with a 13-second period, NNE wind 12 mph offshore, and combined energy of 320. It stays clean through the afternoon with a lighter offshore. Thursday morning is glassy – yes, glassy – with north wind at 3 mph, 2 ft S swell, and a combined 131. It’s small, but those conditions are too good to ignore.
Friday the 18th we’re back to 3 ft SSE swell with a 12-second period, gentle offshore from the NNE at 9 mph, combined 217 – clean and fun.
Now, there’s a bit of a quiet patch from Saturday the 19th right through to Sunday the 20th. Swell drops a little, winds stay moderate offshore, but the energy’s lower – around 164 to 168. It’s surfable but ordinary. Monday the 21st brings it back to life with a nice 2 ft S swell and a long 16-second period, combined 253, gentle offshore breeze. That’s a good one for the early crew.
Tuesday the 22nd is moderate, then Wednesday the 23rd is a real standout. Morning has 3 ft SSW swell, 13-second period, north wind at 12 mph offshore, and combined energy of 417. The afternoon drops to 2 ft but the energy stays high at 349. Clean, consistent, and that SSW direction is right in Coragi’s optimum. This is the session to circle on the calendar.
Thursday the 24th delivers again – 3 ft S swell, 13-second period, combined 429, and a clean offshore NE wind. Friday the 25th sees a jump in size to 5 ft, but it comes with a cross-offshore wind and shorter 10-second period. Combined energy is huge at 1021, but those winds and the chop mean it’s better for experienced surfers only, or maybe the kite crew.
After that, from Saturday the 26th we get a few days of cross-onshore and lighter conditions, with swell dropping back. By Sunday the 27th, it’s back to small clean waves with a gentle offshore, combined energy down to 86. It’s a tail-off, but still a wave if you’re keen.
Overall, the best is definitely Wednesday the 23rd – that SSW swell with clean offshore wind and strong energy has standout written all over it. Thursday the 24th right behind it.
Stay stoked,
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.
