Coragi Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a slow burner on our hands. The next couple of days are gonna be small, plain and simple. The swell is tiny, so don’t be expecting any heroics. We’ll see a small bump in energy mid-week, but it’s a real mixed bag with the conditions.

The only spot worth talking about is Coragi (reef, advanced). It’s exposed to the south, so it’s trying to catch whatever is out there. The water temp is sitting at 77°F, which is pretty much dead average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

Tuesday, July 14th afternoon – Kicking off with a tiny 2ft swell from the south, with a 12-second period. The wind is blowing offshore from the NNE at 15 mph, so the surface will be clean. The combined swell energy is pretty weak at 136, so it’s just a dribble. Not worth getting excited about.

Wednesday, July 15th – Same story, small clean 2ft south swell. The morning has a 12 mph offshore, and the afternoon drops to a light 6 mph offshore. It’s clean, but tiny. The energy is still weak (114 and 116 in the brackets).

Thursday, July 16th – Swell drops to 1ft, but look at that period jumping to 19 seconds! That’s a very long-period groundswell. The energy jumps up to a moderate 191. The wind is offshore and light. This is a tricky one. Coragi is a reef, so it might handle that long period better than a beach break, but 1ft is still shallow. It’s a clean but tiny wave.

Friday, July 17th morning – Still tiny 1ft, but a very long period of 17 seconds. Wind is light offshore. Clean, but very marginal.

Friday, July 17th afternoon – Now things get a little weird. The wind swings onshore from the south at 3 mph, and we get a 4ft swell from the SE, but the period drops to a short 8 seconds. The energy is moderate (287). The wind condition is “unknown” which is a red flag. This isn’t looking good.

Saturday, July 18th – Better news. The morning has a cross-onshore wind, but the afternoon is the standout early window. The wind goes glassy, dead calm, with a 4ft south swell. The period is a short 7 seconds, which is a bit bumpy, but the energy is moderate (290). The conditions are described as “glassy” which is a major positive. This is the best wave quality of the first week. Small, clean, and fun if you’re desperate.

Sunday, July 19th – Another solid day. The morning has a 3ft south swell (7-second period) with a 9 mph offshore wind. The afternoon has a 3ft south swell (13-second period) with a 12 mph offshore. Both are clean and rated as good surf conditions. The energy is moderate (236 and 295). This is the other standout.

Monday, July 20th afternoon – The wind picks up to 18 mph from the NNE. The swell is 2ft. The energy is 175. The conditions are “fresh offshore and clean” but the wind is strong. It’s not a total write-off, but it’s getting gusty.

The second week (July 21st to 29th) – The swell stays small, between 2ft and 3ft. The wind is mostly cross-off or glassy, so it’s clean, but the energy drops off a cliff. From July 26th onwards, the overall energy is very weak (between 44 and 63). The period is short (8-9 seconds). The conditions are rated as “poor surf conditions” for most of that stretch. It’s going to be a flat spell.

Standout call: If you’ve got to get wet, your best bet is Saturday afternoon, July 18th or Sunday, July 19th at Coragi. The glassy conditions on Saturday afternoon are a real treat, and Sunday’s offshore winds and more consistent period will give you the best shape. The swell is small, but it’s the cleanest we’ll see. Don’t bother after the 25th, it’s just a dribble.

Rusty.
