The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – the next week and a half is pretty quiet for Coragi, but the second week has a real standout that’s worth circling on the calendar.
Right now, we’re in a bit of a flat spell. From August 1st through to the 5th, the waves are small and messy – mostly under 2 feet. There’s onshore wind from the SW and the water’s a warm 79°, which is pretty average for this time of year. It’s not worth paddling out for. The combined wave energy is weak (143 on Saturday morning, dropping to just 55 by Wednesday).
Things start to look a little better from the 6th. On Thursday morning (Aug 6th), we get a glassy morning with 3 ft from the SSE on an 8-second period, but it’s still pretty ordinary. Thursday afternoon sees a light offshore from the N, clean but small.
Friday the 7th is the first day that feels okay – we’ve got a light cross-offshore breeze from the N and NNW, with 2 ft of S swell on a 12-second period. The energy picks up a bit (246 in the morning). Conditions are clean, but the swell is small. Saturday the 8th is similar, with glassy conditions in the afternoon and 3 ft from the S. It’s surfable, but nothing to get excited about. The week that follows (Aug 9th to 14th) is more of the same – waist-high waves with clean winds, but ordinary. The energy sits between 100 and 160, which is weak to moderate.
Now, the real standout is in the second week. On the 15th of August (Saturday morning), we start to see a proper groundswell arrive – 2 ft from the SSW but with an 18-second period, and the energy jumps to 448. That’s strong wave energy. By the afternoon, it gets even better: 3 ft from the SSW, 17-second period, with energy at 745 and glassy conditions. This is a classic, long-period SSW groundswell. For a reef break like Coragi, that’s exactly what you want – the long period will wrap in nicely, not break too straight. The winds are light or glassy, making for clean faces. It’s best for advanced surfers given the reef setup, and crowds are possible here sometimes. The swell direction (SSW) matches the optimum from the guidance (SSE is close enough for this setup).
Sunday the 16th keeps it going with 3-3 ft from the SSW on 14-15 second periods, offshore winds from the NNE and N, and energy around 717-719. The surf will be clean and lined up.
So, the best call is Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th at Coragi. That’s the highlight – a proper clean groundswell with glassy to offshore wind. Long range, but it’s looking promising.
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.
