The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what’s cooking at Coragi.
This is a classic reef set-up, exposed to the south-southeast, that’s about to turn on for a decent run. The water temp is sitting pretty average for this time of year, nothing weird going on there. The first few days are okay, but the real magic starts building toward the weekend and into next week.
We kick off Wednesday morning, August 12th, with clean 3 ft waves from the SSE, period around 8 seconds, and a moderate offshore breeze. It’s surfable, but the energy is only moderate (151). It’s a bit average. Thursday afternoon, August 13th, is where it starts to get interesting. The wind goes glassy, the swell bumps up to 4 ft from the SSE, and the energy jumps to 281. That’s a proper little window.
Friday, August 14th, keeps the good vibes going with clean 4 ft waves from the S in the morning, and a nice 2 ft groundswell from the SSW with a 17-second period in the afternoon. That long period means the waves will have good shape and power, but on a reef like Coragi, it’ll line up nicely. Energy is climbing into the 300s.
Now, the standout. Saturday morning, August 15th, is the one to circle. Glassy conditions, 2 ft of clean SSW groundswell pumping in at 18 seconds, and the energy reading hits 602 – that’s strong. The waves will be small but incredibly well-shaped, with long, clean lines. This is a true gem for the experienced surfer who knows the reef. The offshore wind is from the north-northeast, so it’s blowing straight into the face. Crowds are sometimes a thing here, so get in early.
Sunday, August 16th, through to Tuesday, August 18th, keeps the quality high. Sunday morning has 3 ft SSW swell with a 14-second period, clean offshore wind, and strong energy (696). Monday and Tuesday afternoons see the swell holding around 3 ft to 4 ft from the SSW, with long periods and moderate offshore breezes. Energy stays in the 700s.
Wednesday, August 19th, is another big day. Morning brings 5 ft from the SSW at 14 seconds, with a gentle offshore and energy at 899 – that’s approaching very strong. This is expert territory for sure, but the reef will handle it beautifully. Afternoon drops a little to 4 ft from the S.
Thursday, August 20th, is still clean and fun, with 4 ft from the S in the morning and glassy conditions in the afternoon. Energy is moderate to strong in the 400s.
Then we hit a bit of a lull. Friday, August 21st, turns poor with onshore winds and weak, messy surf. Saturday and Sunday, August 22nd and 23rd, are ordinary – small, choppy, not worth the paddle. The wind picks up strong on Sunday, up to 16 mph.
Monday, August 24th, through Wednesday, August 26th, sees a return to cleaner conditions but with smaller waves around 2 ft to 3 ft from the S. The period is long again, up to 18 seconds on Monday afternoon, so the shape will be there, but the size is underwhelming. Energy is moderate.
Thursday, August 27th, is the last call in the window – clean, small 3 ft from the S, with light cross-offshore wind. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about.
So, the best on offer is hands-down Saturday morning, August 15th. Glassy, long-period groundswell, strong energy, and a reef that knows how to handle it. Don’t sleep on it.
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.
