The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s talk surf for Coragi over the next couple of weeks. It’s a slow burn, but there’s some real gold later on if you can wait.
Right now, there’s nothing worth paddling out for until Thursday the 6th of August. The 5th sees a tiny 2ft SSE swell with weak energy (101) and a cross-onshore wind—total skip.
Thursday the 6th morning shows a bit more: 3ft from the SSE, short 8-second period, but offshore wind from the NNE at 3 mph. It’s clean but ordinary, with weak energy (109). The afternoon is similar at 3ft, clean, moderate energy (152). You’ll get a wave, but it’s nothing special.
Friday the 7th is foggy—morning 2ft from the south, 12 seconds, cross-offshore, marginal. Afternoon drops to 2ft and turns poor. Saturday the 8th is the first decent window: morning 3ft from the south, 11 seconds, offshore from the NE at 9 mph, clean, moderate energy (240). Afternoon holds 3ft with the same clean offshore—actually surfable. Not epic, but a good little session.
Sunday the 9th through Monday the 10th stay small (2–3ft) with offshore winds, clean but ordinary. Swell energy drops (122–184). Fine for a grovel.
Tuesday the 11th of August is a standout in week one. Morning has 2ft from the south, but a long 13-second period. Offshore from the NNE at 12 mph, clean, moderate energy (206). It’s small but quality. This reef can handle that long period nicely. Afternoon is equally good. This is the best early session for an advanced surfer.
Wednesday the 12th falls back to weak short-period chop (8 seconds, 107 energy). Thursday the 13th turns poor with cross and cross-onshore winds. Friday the 14th morning is glassy—dead calm north wind at 3 mph, a tiny 2ft SSW swell with a very long 16-second period, moderate energy (259). It’s glassy but small—longboard conditions.
Saturday the 15th morning picks up: 3ft from the SSW, 15-second period, cross-offshore from the NNW, moderate energy (378). The afternoon is better—still 3ft, 14-second period, energy jumps to 530, clean and “very good.” This is the start of the real stuff.
Sunday the 16th is a write-off—onshore and cross-onshore winds kill it, despite 3ft and high energy (499–564). Monday the 17th is marginal but the wind turns light cross or offshore later, with 3–3ft and moderate energy.
Now, week two. Tuesday the 18th morning: 3ft from the SSW, 13-second period, light offshore from the NE at 3 mph, clean, strong energy (355). Afternoon is clean too. Wednesday the 19th afternoon is a gem: 3ft from the SSW, 13-second period, gentle offshore from the NNE, energy at 574—very strong. Description says “very good surf conditions.” Then Thursday the 20th morning is the best of the whole outlook: 4ft from the SSW, 15-second period (very long groundswell), cross-offshore from the NE at 9 mph, clean, massive energy of 726. The afternoon is almost as good: 4ft, 14-second period, gentle offshore, energy at 672. This is a powerful, clean, long-period swell hitting a reef—perfect for advanced surfers. Crowds can be around sometimes, so get there early.
Water temp is about 80°F, normal for the season with a slight anomaly of +0.5°F.
My pick is Thursday the 20th of August—that’s the standout. Wednesday the 19th afternoon is a close second. For the first week, Tuesday the 11th is the best small-wave option. The rest is very ordinary or blown out. Ignore the early gap and aim for that second week punch.
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.
