The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down this same stretch in feet and degrees.
First up, we’ve got Coragi (reef). This is an advanced wave, only for those with some scars. The water temp is 82°F, with a tiny anomaly of 0.9°F – so it’s about average for this time of year. Nothing weird.
The start is slow. The weekend of September 5th and 6th has small SSE swell, 3ft to 3ft, with a period of 9 seconds. The wind is offshore or cross-off, but the energy is only 142 (moderate) on Saturday afternoon. It’s clean, but small. Not a standout.
Sunday the 6th is similar: 3ft SSE swell, gentle offshore breeze. Energy drops to 98 (weak) in the morning. Still clean, but you’ll be on a longboard.
Monday the 7th is the first real highlight. Glassy in the morning, 2ft SSE swell, period 9 seconds, energy hits 123 (moderate) in the afternoon. Light offshore wind. Clean, small, smooth reef waves. Crowds are “sometimes” – you’ll see a few others.
Tuesday the 8th and Wednesday the 9th stay small: 1ft to 2ft SSW and S swells, energy from 112 to 155 (moderate). Winds are cross-off or glassy. Clean, but small.
Now the good stuff. Friday the 11th sees the swell pick up to 3ft SSE, period 11 seconds, energy 264 (moderate). Offshore winds at 15 mph. This is the start of a good run. Saturday the 12th is the standout of the whole period: 3ft SSE swell, 11-second period, 20 mph offshore wind, energy 264. Clean, lined up, powerful. That’s your session.
Sunday the 13th holds similar: 3ft SSE, 11 seconds, offshore, energy in the 230s. Still good.
Then a lull. Monday the 14th goes cross-shore, poor conditions, swell drops to 2ft with a long 17-second period. Long period groundswell can be a bit tricky on a reef – might break too straight.
Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th bring back clean conditions. Swell is 2ft to 3ft from the S, periods 14 to 13 seconds. Energy is strong – 386 to 356 (moderate to strong). Offshore winds, clean. The swell direction is slightly off the optimum SSE, but still good.
After that, the energy fades. Thursday 17th onward, swell drops to 2ft to 2ft, periods shorten, wind picks up. Friday 18th is poor – only 71 energy. The weekend of the 19th and 20th has strong offshore wind (25 mph) but the swell is only 1ft to 3ft, energy moderate. Not worth the drive.
Pick of the week: Saturday the 12th. 3ft, SSE, offshore, good energy. Clean and punchy. Expect some company.
Gap: There’s a rough patch from Monday 14th afternoon through to Thursday 17th morning – about 3 days of marginal to poor conditions.
Hold onto your board, it’s gonna be a fun one.
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.
