The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s coming up for the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got one spot on the menu, and it’s firing up for a solid run starting this Sunday. Coragi is a reef break that needs an advanced skill level, so this isn’t a beginner’s spot. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing freaky going on there.
The first real action kicks off Sunday morning, 16 August, with some clouds overhead and a light cross-offshore breeze from the ENE at 9 mph. The swell is coming in at 4 ft from the SSW, with a period of 14 seconds. That’s a nice groundswell, and the combined energy is moderate at 758. The waves are clean and the forecast is looking good. By Sunday afternoon, the energy drops a touch to 660, but it’s still very clean.
Monday, 17 August, is a standout. The wind swings to the NE at 12 mph, going fully offshore. The morning sees 3 ft from the S, but with a 16-second period – that’s long-period groundswell, meaning good shape and energy. The combined energy is 759. Afternoon bumps up to 3 ft from the S, same long period, and energy jumps to 844. This is the kind of reef-grinding, clean, offshore perfection you dream about. Get on it.
Tuesday, 18 August, keeps the good times rolling. Offshore NE wind again, 12 mph. Morning swell is 4 ft from the SSW at 14 seconds, energy a solid 972. Afternoon is clear skies, same swell direction and size, energy peaking at 993. This is the best of the run: moderate energy, clean offshore wind, and consistent waves. The break is very consistent, so you won’t be waiting long.
Wednesday, 19 August, the wind backs off a little to a gentle cross-offshore breeze, but it’s still clean. Swell holds at 5 ft from the SSW in the morning, 15-second period, energy 935. Afternoon drops to 4 ft but remains very good. Crowds are possible here, so keep an eye out.
Thursday, 20 August, the swell starts to ease. Morning offshore NE wind at 9 mph, 4 ft from the S, period 13 seconds, energy 496. It’s still good, but the quality dips into the afternoon with a marginal tide call. From Friday, 21 August, through to the end of the month, the swell drops below 3 ft, with shorter periods. The energy falls into the low double digits, and while the wind stays mostly offshore, the waves are just ordinary. There’s a run of “surfable but very ordinary” conditions from 22 August right through to the 30th.
A real highlight to note: on the very last day of the forecast, Monday, 31 August, the morning turns glassy with a 1 ft swell from the S, but a period of 20 seconds – that’s very long-period groundswell. The combined energy is 238, which is moderate, and the forecast is good. For a reef, that long period means long, peeling lines. But it’s small, so only the most patient, skilled surfer will get the best out of it.
Overall, the best surf is without a doubt from Sunday, 16 August, through Wednesday, 19 August. The standouts are Monday and Tuesday: head-high, clean, offshore, long-period groundswell at Coragi. Don’t miss it.
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.
