Coragi Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it for Coragi. This is a reef break that's exposed and very consistent, so it's almost always got something to offer, but the quality is going to be a real mixed bag over the next couple of weeks.

We start off with a bit of a slow burn. The first few days are just surfable but ordinary. The real standout is going to be a solid run from the middle of the month. Keep your eyes on Saturday the 15th and especially Monday the 17th of August for the best windows.

The 11th and 12th of August are for the die-hards only. Tiny 2 ft to 2 ft swell from the S/SSE, with moderate winds. The energy is weak (197) and the wave state is just ordinary. You'd be better off waiting.

The action starts to pick up from Thursday the 13th. The afternoon brings a jump up to 4 ft swell from the S (8 sec period), with clean offshore winds. The energy is building (336) and we're getting into "good surf" territory. Friday the 14th is a good morning session, with 4 ft from the SW and clean offshores, but the standout is the afternoon. The swell drops to 2 ft but it's a long-period 17-second SSW groundswell, delivering heaps of energy (387). That's a super clean, punchy wave.

Saturday the 15th of August is where it gets interesting. The morning has 2 ft SSW swell with a very long 18-second period, and the energy is strong (611). The wind is light and cross-off, making for very clean conditions. This is a top-shelf morning. The afternoon stays solid with a 4 ft SSW swell at 16 seconds and even more energy (735), but the wind shifts to a cross-shore, which might knock the shape off a bit. The morning is the clear winner here.

Sunday the 16th takes a step back. The wind goes onshore in the morning and then cross-on in the afternoon, making the waves sloppy despite the energy (712). It's a day to sit out.

Then we hit the absolute best of the run. Monday the 17th of August afternoon is a gem. The swell is 3 ft from the SSW, with a long 16-second period. The wind goes glassy, and the energy is very strong (723). This is classic, clean, glassy reef surf. Tuesday the 18th is also a big one, with 4 ft SSW swell all day, glassy conditions, and the highest energy readings of the whole forecast (887). The morning and afternoon are both prime. Wednesday the 19th is still good, with 4 ft SSW swell and clean offshores, though the afternoon gets a bit windier.

After this run, it tails off into the second week. The 20th and 21st of August are still fun, with clean 4 ft to 3 ft waves, but the energy drops off. The 22nd through the 24th are back to that ordinary, lower-energy stuff, with winds staying clean but the swell dropping to 2 ft to 3 ft. The 25th and 26th have a few glimmers, with a glassy morning on the 26th and a 4 ft pulse on the afternoon, but the period is short (8 seconds), so it's not going to have the same grunt.

Water temp is sitting at 81°F, which is about 0.5°F above normal. So, it's a pretty standard balmy tropical water temp for this time of year.

All in all, the clear standouts are the morning of Saturday the 15th of August for the long-period groundswell, and the afternoon of Monday the 17th and all of Tuesday the 18th of August for the perfect glassy conditions and solid swell. If you had to pick one, that glassy Monday afternoon with the long-period swell is the session to circle.

Rusty.
