The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break this down. We’ve got a stretch that starts quiet, builds to a few real gems, and then fades back into the ordinary. The overall pattern here is a classic case of patience paying off for those who know this reef setup.
The first real call to paddle out is Tuesday morning the 11th of August down at Coragi. It’s a reef break, advanced only, and it’s very consistent, so you know it’s going to be working. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing wild there. We’re looking at 2 ft of south swell with a 13-second period, giving us moderate wave energy (197). The wind is blowing offshore from the NE at 12 mph, keeping things clean. It’s not a standout, but it’s a warm-up.
The real magic starts to brew for Thursday the 13th. The swell jumps to 6 ft from the south, but the period drops to 8 seconds – that’s a shorter-period swell, meaning the waves might be a bit more crumbly and less powerful, but the energy is strong (549). Wind is light from the ENE, keeping it cross-off and clean. This is a solid, fun morning, though the short period means it’s not the best for the deepest pits.
Hold on to your board for Saturday the 15th of August. That morning is the first true standout. You’ve got 2 ft of swell from the SSW with a *very* long period of 18 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy (595), and it’s coming in glassy – dead calm, slight air from the SSE. This is the kind of session where you feel every drop of the tide and the reef really lines up. That long period means better-shaped waves, more energy, and longer lulls between sets. For a reef break like this, it’s pure gold. Crowds are possible here.
Then, don’t sleep on Monday the 17th afternoon. The wind switches to glassy again from the NW, and we get 3 ft from the SSW with a 16-second period. The energy is high (823), and it’s going to be beautifully clean.
The absolute best on offer, though, is Tuesday the 18th of August. Morning is already good with 4 ft SSW and offshore NE winds (920 energy), but the afternoon is the pick of the entire window. You get 5 ft from the SSW with a 16-second period, strong energy (1134), and a gentle offshore breeze from the NNE. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers. The swell direction matches the optimum for Coragi perfectly, the winds are offshore, and the period is long. This is the one to circle on your calendar.
The following week fades. From Friday the 21st through to Wednesday the 26th, the swell drops back to 2-3 ft, periods shorten, and while the wind stays favorable (mostly offshore from the NE), the energy and quality drop off. It becomes surfable but ordinary, and by the 23rd, conditions get poor. There’s a real dry spell there.
So, to sum it up: the first few days are marginal, but the standouts are the morning of Saturday the 15th and the afternoon of Tuesday the 18th. Get on it.
Stay sharp.
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.
