The Lowdown
Right then, Rusty here, breaking down the next couple of weeks at Coragi.
First few days are a bit of a letdown. Thursday and Friday mornings are tiny—around 2 to 2 feet max with a weak SSE swell and energy barely hitting 169 to 178. Not worth wetting your wetsuit for, to be honest. The wind is cross or light, so it’s not clean enough to make the most of what little there is.
You’ll start to see things turning Friday afternoon, September 11th. The wind swings offshore and stays there, and we get a solid 3-foot SSE swell with a 11-second period. The combined energy pushes past 200—clean, lined-up reef waves with moderate offshore breezes. That carries through Saturday and Sunday. It’s not huge, but it’s consistent and tidy. The crowd can be around, so pick your peak.
The real prize comes around Tuesday, September 22nd. A bigger pulse rolls in: 3-foot S and SSW swell, with a longer 14-second period. The combined wave energy jumps to over 420. Winds stay offshore all day, so the wave faces will be clean and the shape excellent. For me, this is the highlight of the entire outlook—solid, well-defined groundswell with great conditions.
Then Wednesday the 23rd steps it up again. The combined energy rockets into the 500s and even 600s, with a 16-second period from the S. That’s a long-period, heavy groundswell. On a reef like Coragi, those waves will be steep, fast, and powerful, with longer lulls between sets. This is for experts only. A real standout if you’ve got the skill.
Later, Thursday the 24th brings a drop in size to about 3–3 feet, but the wind goes flat calm—glassy conditions with a 12-second S swell. That’s silky smooth. Ideal for a relaxed session.
Water temp is about average for the season—no big surprises there. The first few days are a bust, but from the 11th onward there’s a steady run of clean swell. The absolute best is that late September window around the 22nd and 23rd. That’s your call to action.
Tides and timing are your friend here.

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.
