Coragi Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. The next couple of weeks look pretty quiet overall, but there’s a little window of opportunity if you’re patient. The main spot on the radar is Coragi, a reef break that’s advanced-only and very consistent, so it’s always worth a look even when the numbers are small. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.

The forecast starts off flat. We’re looking at a big gap of about four days with no real surf to get excited about. Saturday the 26th of July and Sunday the 27th are just small, ordinary waves with light winds, but nothing that’ll get your heart racing. The energy is weak, with combined swell energy sitting around 90 to 103 (moderate), but the swell is short-period, mostly 8 seconds, so it’s not got much punch. Monday the 27th afternoon gets a bit bigger with 5ft swell from the S, but the wind swings cross-shore and it gets choppy – poor conditions, so that’s a pass.

The real standout comes a bit further out. On Saturday the 1st of August, Coragi starts to clean up nicely. The morning is small with 2ft from the S at 12 seconds, but the wind is light and cross-offshore. Then the afternoon is where it’s at: glassy conditions, 2ft S swell at 12 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 204 (moderate). That’s a pretty sweet little window. The swell is long-period, so it’s got good shape and energy, but at a reef break like this, that long period will really make it peel nicely. It’s an advanced wave, so not for the groms. Crowds are possible, so keep your eyes peeled.

Sunday the 2nd of August is also glassy in the afternoon with similar 2ft S swell at 12 seconds, but the energy is a bit lower at 147 (moderate). Still a fun little session if you missed Saturday.

After that, the surf drops back to small, ordinary conditions through the rest of the first week of August. There’s a few days of clean, offshore winds, but the swell is tiny – mostly 2ft to 3ft from the SSE with short 8-second periods. The energy is weak, often under 100. Not worth paddling out for unless you’re desperate.

By the 8th of August, the swell picks up a bit – 2ft to 2ft S swell at 13-14 seconds, so that’s a long-period groundswell, but the wind is onshore and cross-onshore, making it choppy and messy. The combined energy hits 233 (moderate), but the conditions are poor. That one’s a no-go. The 9th of August has a similar story: 3ft S swell at 12 seconds, energy at 260 (moderate), but the wind is cross-shore and the conditions are only marginal. Might be okay for a kite, but not for a paddle.

The best bet is clear: Saturday the 1st of August afternoon at Coragi. Get on it.
