The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and here’s your local outlook for Coragi.
First off, the water temp is sitting at about 81°, which is right around average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but don’t walk away yet. The first window opens up Wednesday morning with a small 2ft SSE swell, but a stiff 15 mph offshore from the NE will have it looking tidy. It’s not big, but clean, and the energy is moderate at best. The real action starts picking up Wednesday afternoon though, when a 3ft S groundswell arrives with a 12-second period and light offshore winds. That’s proper clean and will have some push to it. That’s the first real standout – a sweet afternoon session on the cards.
Thursday morning drops to a tiny 1ft SSW swell, but the period is a whopping 17 seconds – that’s a long-period groundswell. At a reef break like Coragi, that’s gold. It’ll be glassy clean with light NE winds, and the energy is still moderate. If you can get out there, it’ll be lined up and gorgeous.
Friday sees a bit of a mixed bag. The morning has a 4ft SSE swell, but the period is short at 8 seconds, so it’ll be a bit crumbly. Still, the offshore winds (NNE at 9 mph) will keep it rideable. The real gem might be Saturday afternoon – 4ft SSW swell, long 16-second period, and almost no wind at all. The energy jumps up significantly, which is proper fun. That’s your top pick for the week. Watch for the risk of thunderstorms though, but the surf will be worth it.
Sunday holds up with a 3ft SSW swell, clean offshore winds, and strong energy. Another solid morning. Monday is similar, with a 2ft S swell but a 16-second period and good wind. Tuesday and Wednesday of the following week look excellent too – 4ft to 5ft SSW swells, consistent 14-15 second periods, and steady offshore breezes. The energy levels are high, so Coragi is going to be firing.
Then we hit a rough patch. Thursday 20 August turns ugly – 22 mph cross-onshore winds and lumpy conditions. Avoid that. The surf quality drops to zero.
But hold on – Friday 21 August brings a surprise: glassy conditions with a 3ft SSW groundswell and a 12-second period. No wind at all. That’s a sneaky good session for those who can dodge the mid-week mess. We then see a slow decline into smaller, cleaner but weaker waves through the weekend and into the next week.
From about 24 August, the energy drops and the swell becomes more ordinary – small S swells around 2ft to 3ft with short periods. It’s surfable for a log or a longboard, but nothing to get excited about. The last real gasp is the morning of the 26th with a 4ft S swell, but it’s only 8 seconds, so it’ll be a bit weak. Still, clean.
The absolute standout without question is the Saturday afternoon session (15 August) with that long-period SSW groundswell and almost dead-calm conditions. The second best is the Wednesday 19 August morning: 5ft SSW, 15-second period, and strong offshore winds. That’s power and precision.
Crowds at Coragi can show up sometimes, so if you’re aiming for that Saturday session, get in early – it’s a reef break with proper waves on offer.
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.
