Coragi Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m giving you the straight-up skinny on the local surf scene for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a bit of a slow burn ahead, so don’t expect any crazy fireworks, but there are a few windows where it all comes together.

We kick off on Wednesday, July 22nd, with a clean little pulse of S swell pushing in around 3 feet and a period of 11 seconds at its best. The water is sitting at a warm 78°F, which is right about average for this time of year. Combined swell energy is moderate (222) on Wednesday morning, dropping a bit in the afternoon. The wind is playing ball with light offshore and cross-off breezes, keeping the surface smooth and surfable. This is clean, fun-sized surf, nothing too heavy.

Coragi is your only spot in the mix, and it’s a reef break made for the more advanced crew—consistent and exposed to this S/SSE direction. On Wednesday morning, with the NE wind at 15 mph coming cross-off, the waves look tidy. By afternoon, the wind shifts to a proper offshore from the NNE, still light, so conditions hold. This is the best you’ll see in the early run. Thursday, July 23rd, keeps the same sort of energy—3 feet, 10-second period surf, but the wind picks up to 25 mph from the NNE, still offshore. The water gets a bit textured, but it remains surfable and clean. The energy stays moderate (around 200).

Friday through the weekend, from July 24th to 26th, the swell drops a touch to around 2 to 2 feet, with period fading from 10 seconds down to 8. The combined energy dips into the low hundreds and eventually into the 70s–80s. The wind stays light and mostly offshore or cross-off, so conditions look okay, but we’re talking small, ordinary waves. Not the kind of surf you’d rush for. Especially by Sunday afternoon onward, the period drops and the quality goes sour.

Monday and Tuesday, July 27th–28th, try to bump back up to around 3 feet but with 7–8 second period, weak energy, and increasing cross-off wind. The wave quality has really dropped—some sessions might be skunk-level. Wednesday, July 29th sees it bottom out, with swell around 2–2 feet and very low energy (31–37). From there, we hit a nasty stretch. Thursday and Friday, July 30th–31st, have a weird spike in period (up to 16 seconds from the S on Thursday) but swell height is only 1–2 feet. That super long period on tiny waves means little to no real surf for regular paddling. The wind turns onshore by Friday, making a mess. This patch is basically flat.

The first of August rolls in with more S swell (around 2 feet, 12-second period) and moderate to strong energy (213–273), but it’s ruined by onshore SSW/SW winds and cross-on chop. That’s not a fun paddle—actually looks more like a kiteboarding scene than a surfing one. Still no go for us.

Then there’s a little glimmer on Sunday, August 2nd: the swell bumps to 3 feet from the SSE with an 8-second burst, energy around 214. Morning winds are light cross-off from the ENE, keeping it clean. By afternoon, the wind drops to glass. That’s probably your next real chance to get wet. It’s not epic, but it’s clean and rideable.

After that, Monday through Wednesday August 3rd–5th, we get a steady 3–4 feet of SSE/S swell, consistent but modest. Energy stays moderate (110–170 range). Offshore and cross-off winds dominate, especially from the NNE. The big standout in this tail end is Wednesday morning, August 5th: 4 feet, 8-second period, 154 energy, with the wind cross-off from the ENE at 15 mph. Clean and punchier than the rest. Still only small, but the best of the second week.

Thursday, August 6th sees similar—3 feet, 8 seconds, moderate energy (132–171) and offshore NNE winds. Again, nothing to write home about, but consistent enough to scratch the itch.

If I had to pick the one true standout, it’s Wednesday morning, July 22nd, with the combo of 3 feet, 11-second S swell, moderate energy (222), and that nice clean cross-off NE breeze at 15 mph. For the longer range, the most promising is Sunday August 2nd morning through afternoon: solid 3 feet, glassy conditions, and clean walls, especially if you get the afternoon glass-off. That second one is a bit further out so less certain, but worth watching.

Biggest gap in the action? You’re looking at basically no good surf from Monday July 27th evening through Saturday August 1st. After that, it starts to trickle back.

Stay locked in, forecasts can always shift.
