The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming for the next couple of weeks.
We start off with a solid run of clean, offshore surf at Coragi, beginning Tuesday morning. The water’s about 82°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year—nothing crazy, just a nice little bump.
Tuesday morning brings a 4ft SSW swell, with a long 14-second period, and a moderate NE offshore breeze. The combined energy is moderate at 972, and conditions are clean. This is a reef break for advanced surfers only, so beginners stay out. The direction is a little off the ideal (SSE), but it’s still working. Tuesday afternoon holds the same quality.
Wednesday morning is even better: 5ft from the SSW, a 15-second period, and a gentle NE cross-offshore breeze. The energy is still strong at 928. Another great session. The afternoon is a bit more tricky with the tide.
Thursday the 20th drops off. The swell goes to 4ft, the period shortens, and the energy drops to 471. The morning is marginal, but the afternoon is “good” with 3ft S swell and clean conditions. Friday through Sunday stays in the 3ft to 3ft range, with clean offshore winds and moderate energy sliding from 367 down to 208. Not huge, but consistent and fun.
Then we hit a quiet patch. Monday the 24th and Tuesday the 25th are surfable but very ordinary—small, short period, low energy.
The big standout is Wednesday the 26th of August. A pulse of 8ft S swell hits, with a 9-second period and a massive energy reading of 1112. That’s strong, heavy, and powerful. The morning has a light WSW cross-onshore wind, which isn’t ideal, and at 8ft on a reef, this is for experts only. The afternoon goes onshore and messy. If you’re a hardcore charger, the morning window might be worth it, but don’t expect perfection.
Thursday the 27th settles back to 4ft with clean offshore winds—good, but not as exciting. Friday the 28th is tiny, with only 2ft and energy in the double digits. Not worth it.
The final weekend of August and into September brings a return to clean, consistent conditions. Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th have 3ft to 3ft SSW swell, long periods of 15-16 seconds, and gentle offshore winds. The energy is moderate (355-433), and the waves are clean and lined up. For a reef, that long period means nice shape. Monday the 31st is similar with 3ft SSW swell and a 13-second period.
The first few days of September fade out. Tuesday the 1st is small and weak, and Wednesday the 2nd is nearly flat. The window closes.
Best of the bunch: Wednesday the 26th of August for the big, powerful 8ft swell—strictly for experts. The next best is Tuesday the 18th and Wednesday the 19th, with 4ft to 5ft SSW swell, long periods, and clean offshore winds. That’s the good stuff.
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.
