Coragi Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, and I’ve been staring at the charts for our little corner of the world. The water’s sitting at a warm 81°, which is bang on average for this time of year — no weird anomalies, just solid tropical temps.

We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but don’t be fooled. The real meat of this forecast is building towards the end of the second week. For now, Saturday morning (August 8th) at Coragi is a nice little opener. It’s a reef break, exposed to the south, and we’ve got a clean 3ft swell from the south, with a period of 11 seconds. The wind is light and offshore from the northeast, keeping the surface glassy. The combined energy is moderate at 270. It’s not a world-beater, but it’s a proper, fun wave for an advanced surfer. Crowds are sometimes a thing here, so keep your eyes peeled.

Sunday and Monday (August 9th and 10th) are more of the same — small, clean, but nothing to write home about. The swell stays around 3ft to 3ft from the south, with offshore winds holding. The energy dips a little, but it’s still surfable.

Then we hit a bit of a lull mid-week. Tuesday (August 11th) is small, and by Wednesday (August 12th) the wind goes cross-off and the swell is weak. Thursday (August 13th) is a write-off — the wind is messy and onshore, the swell is short-period and bumpy. That’s a kite day, not a paddle day.

The big news is the last weekend and the start of the following week. Saturday (August 16th) morning at Coragi is a standout. We’re looking at a 3ft south swell with a 14-second period, light offshore winds, and the combined energy is strong at 660. The water is still clean. This is a proper groundswell, and on a reef, it’s going to line up beautifully.

But the absolute best of the whole run? Tuesday, August 18th. We’ve got two sessions — morning and afternoon — that are both glassy. The wind is dead calm, literally a glass-off. The swell is 4ft to 5ft from the SSW, with a very long period of 15 to 16 seconds. The combined energy spikes to over 1000 (1002 and 1079). That’s strong wave energy. This is only for experts — at 5ft on a reef with that much period, it’s going to be thick, powerful, and demanding. But if you know what you’re doing, it’s the best wave of the forecast. Crowds are possible, but with that size and power, it’ll thin out the pack.

The following week (August 19th to 23rd) holds clean, offshore conditions and solid 3ft to 4ft swell, but it slowly tapers off. The energy drops back into the 200-400 range by the 22nd. Still fun, but nothing beats that Tuesday.

So, if you’re picking one day, make it Tuesday, August 18th. It’s a long way out, so the forecast might shift, but right now, it looks like a gem.

Rusty.
