The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s break down what’s coming for Coragi.
We’ve got a decent little run of surf to start, but it’s not gonna be a classic. The best window is right at the beginning, from Tuesday the 21st through Thursday the 23rd. That’s where the real action is.
Tuesday morning, July 21st, kicks off with clean 3ft southerly swell, with a period of 12 seconds – that’s a nice groundswell with some punch (215 combined energy). The wind is a cross-off from the ENE at 9 mph, so the waves will be clean and well-shaped. This is a reef break, and with that long period, it’s going to be lining up nicely. Water temp is about average for the time of year. This is the best session on offer, no doubt. The afternoon turns a bit messy with a cross-on wind, so get in early.
Wednesday, July 22nd, is another good one. Early morning is glassy with a NE wind at just 3 mph, and the swell bumps up to 3ft from the south, 10-second period – still good energy (294 combined). Surf will be clean and fun. The afternoon stays offshore from the NNE, so the whole day is solid.
Thursday, July 23rd, keeps the run going. Morning offshore wind from the north at 12 mph, with 3ft south swell, 10-second period (236 combined energy). It’s a bit windier, but offshore, so it’s still clean. Another good day.
After that, the swell drops off. Friday the 24th through Sunday the 27th sees smaller waves, around 2ft to 3ft, with shorter periods. The energy drops into the double digits (down to 108 then 70). There are some glassy moments, like Friday morning and the odd offshore, but it’s ordinary. Just fun little waves for a longboard or a foiler.
Then there’s a real gap. From Monday the 27th afternoon right through to Thursday the 30th, the surf is poor. Tiny, weak, and messy. The energy drops to 18 by Thursday afternoon. That’s a few days of not much.
Things start to perk up again on Friday, July 31st. The morning has 2ft surf but with a 14-second period – that’s a very long period groundswell, and the energy is back to 119. It’s clean with offshore wind. The afternoon gets better, with 2ft and 13-second period (171 energy). This is a promising sign.
Saturday, August 1st, is the next true standout. Morning has 2ft south swell, 12-second period, and 213 combined energy. The wind is offshore from the north at 9 mph. The waves will be clean, well-shaped, and there’s enough energy to make it fun. This is a great call for a weekend session. The afternoon drops off a bit in period and energy, but it’s still surfable.
From Sunday, August 2nd, through Monday, August 3rd, the swell stays around 2ft to 3ft but the period drops back to 8 seconds. Energy is moderate (171 to 113). It’s clean, but very ordinary. Monday afternoon goes glassy with a 2ft swell, but it’s flat energy.
The forecast ends on Wednesday, August 5th, with a glassy morning, 2ft from the SSE, 8-second period, and 75 energy. It’s surfable but nothing special.
So, to sum it up: the best waves are Tuesday morning the 21st and Wednesday the 22nd. That’s the sweet spot. The secondary highlight is Saturday morning, August 1st. After that, it’s small and clean but not worth getting excited about.
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.
