Coragi Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, grab your board and wax, let's talk about what's cookin'.

Honestly, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and ordinary at Coragi. It's a real mixed bag of tiny swells and onshore winds, so don't get your hopes up too high. We've got a long stretch of nothing special, but there is a glimmer of hope right at the end of the forecast.

The water's sitting at a mild 79°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no wetsuit drama.

Tuesday, July 28th through to Thursday, July 31st is just a grind. The swell is tiny, like 1 ft to 3 ft, and while the wind is offshore or glassy at times, the wave energy is just pathetic. The combined energy is barely a whisper, hitting only 92 (weak energy) on Tuesday morning. It's technically surfable but it's a whole lot of work for a knee-high dribble.

Friday, July 31st morning is the first real tease. The wind goes glassy, dead calm, with a 2 ft, 13-second groundswell from the south. The combined energy jumps to 92 again, but it's still tiny. The afternoon cleans up with a light cross-offshore wind and the energy bumping up to 151 (moderate energy), but at 2 ft, it's still a log-worthy day.

Then we hit a wall. From Saturday, August 1st all the way through to Friday, August 7th, the wind goes onshore, cross-onshore, or just plain wrong. The swell gets a little bigger, hitting 4 ft on Sunday, August 2nd, but the wind is straight onshore, making it a messy, choppy mess. The energy is moderate to strong (hitting 312 on the 2nd afternoon), but it's wasted. The wave comment says "poor surf conditions" for most of this stretch. This is a classic kite-surfing setup, not a paddler's paradise.

Now, here's the standout. Mark your calendar for Saturday, August 8th. The clouds clear, the wind swings to a clean cross-offshore from the ENE, and the swell bumps up to a solid 3 ft from the south. The combined energy is a solid 244 (moderate energy). The wave comment says "expect good surf conditions." This is the best on offer. Coragi will be a proper reef break with clean, workable lines. The south-southeast swell direction is right in the sweet spot for this spot. Crowds are possible here, so get there early.

After that, it fades back to small, clean but ordinary surf through to Wednesday, August 12th, with the swell dropping to 2 ft to 2 ft. The energy stays moderate, but it's just not enough to get excited about.

So, bottom line: don't rush out this week. Wait for that Saturday, August 8th window. It's your best shot.
