The Lowdown
Alright, grab your board and listen up. This is Rusty.
We’re looking at Coragi for the next 16 days. It’s a solid, exposed reef break, advanced only, and it picks up a good SSE to SSW swell. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing strange there. The first few days are a bit of a warm-up, but there’s a genuine standout stretch coming your way.
Friday the 28th is a non-starter. We’ve got a tiny 1.6ft SSE swell with a short period, and the 16 mph NE wind, though offshore, is just too strong for it to be any fun. It’s surfable, but ordinary. The combined energy is weak at just 84. Not worth paddling out.
Things start to get interesting from Saturday the 29th. The swell jumps to 3.0ft from the SSW with a very long 15-second period, pushing the combined energy up to a solid 458. It’s still light winds, mostly cross-offshore in the morning but turning offshore in the afternoon. This is a clean session for the experienced surfer.
Sunday the 30th is the highlight of the whole forecast. Expect 3.9ft SSW swell with a 15 to 16-second period. The combined energy is strong at 726-799. The wind swings offshore from the NE at 9-12 mph. That’s crystal-clear, powerful reef waves. This is the day for the advanced crew.
Monday the 31st keeps the quality going. 3.6ft SSW swell, 14-second period, combined energy in the 570 range. The wind turns cross-offshore in the morning but then goes offshore in the afternoon. It’s clean and consistent. After this run, the swell holds through Tuesday and Wednesday at 2.6-3.0ft with 12-13 second periods and steady offshore winds. Still good, but not as big.
From Thursday the 3rd of September through to the 11th, the surf drops off noticeably. The swell goes small, around 2.3ft to 3.0ft, from the SSE, with periods dropping to 9 seconds. The energy is weak to moderate, ranging from 95 to 261. The wind stays offshore for most of that time, so it’s clean, but it’s just small and ordinary. There will be days like the 10th of September afternoon where the energy picks up to 261 and a 2.6ft SSE swell looks rideable, but don’t expect the power of the previous weekend.
The best day on offer is unequivocally Sunday the 30th of August. The 3.9ft SSW swell, the long 15-16 second period, and the clean NE offshore winds make Coragi fire. The crowd factor is listed as ‘sometimes’, so you might see a few others, but it’s not a circus. This is the standout.
For the last few days, from the 11th of September, we see a small increase in period back to 13 seconds and a 1.6ft to 2.3ft S/SE swell, with combined energy back into the 200-300 range. The winds stay offshore and light. It’s a return to a clean, if small, finish to the outlook.

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.
