The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's have a look at the forecast for Coragi.
So, looking at the next 16 days, it's a mixed picture. There's some juice coming in, but nothing that's gonna be a total classic for a long stretch. Being a reef break, we need the right angle and clean conditions to make it work, and that combination only happens a few times.
The water temp is around 82°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
We start off with a couple of days that aren't really worth your time. Tuesday the 25th and Wednesday the 26th have waves, but they're small and the conditions are bad. Tuesday has 3ft of S swell with a short 8-second period – you could paddle out, but it's ordinary. The wind is offshore from the NNE, but there's hardly any power (99). Wednesday bumps up to 5ft, but the wind switches to a cross-onshore SE breeze, turning it into a choppy mess. Skip it.
By Thursday the 27th, things clean up. We've got a moderate 5ft SSW swell with an 8-second period and a clean offshore wind from the NNE. The energy is moderate (268). It's surfable and clean, but still not a standout.
The real highlight of the whole outlook lands at the end of the week. Friday the 28th afternoon through to Sunday the 30th. Friday afternoon shows a tiny 2ft swell but with a very long 16-second period from the south, carrying moderate energy (225). That long period on a reef can produce some real gems if the direction is right. The wind is offshore from the north. Saturday the 29th builds on that with a solid 3ft SSW swell, still with a very long period (16 seconds in the morning, 14 in the afternoon) and offshore NNE winds. The energy is building (439). But the absolute best is Sunday the 30th. We've got a consistent 4ft swell from the SSW, a super-long 15 to 16-second period, and a light NE cross-offshore breeze. The energy is strong (619 in the morning, 682 in the afternoon). That's your day. Clean, powerful lines rolling in – this is the standout session for the whole 16 days. Keep in mind, crowds can show up here.
Monday the 31st is still okay with a clean offshore NNE wind and a 4ft SSW swell, but the period drops to 14 seconds. It's good, but not the peak.
After that, the second week (September 1st onward) really trails off. Tuesday the 1st and Wednesday the 2nd have small, clean surf with offshore winds, but the energy is weak and it's nothing special. From Thursday the 3rd, it goes flat. The swell drops to around 2ft to 3ft with periods under 12 seconds, and the wind turns onshore or goes glassy with no push. Most of those days are just flat and poor.
If you’ve got one day to paddle out, make it Sunday the 30th. That's the 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.
