Coragi Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into what’s coming up for the next couple of weeks.

Right now, the start is pretty average. The forecast pushes us out a few days with nothing worth scrambling for, but don’t give up. Around Thursday, 8 August, a little pulse shows up, but it’s the following week that gets the blood pumping.

The standout window is definitely around Sunday, 16 August, through to Wednesday, 19 August. That’s where the real juice is.

Let’s start with the early days. Thursday, 6 August, kicks off with a small 3ft SSE swell at Coragi, period a short 8 seconds, and a moderate combined energy of 109. The wind is light NNE offshore, so it’s clean, but the waves are very ordinary – small and weak. Friday, 7 August, drops off a bit with 2ft S swell, period 12 seconds, but the wind is ENE cross-off, so not as clean. Still, not much to write home about.

Saturday, 8 August, is a bit better. The morning sees 3ft S swell, period 11 seconds, with a clean NNE offshore breeze, and the combined energy climbs to 240. The afternoon bumps up to 3ft, still clean, and the energy hits 253. It’s a small-wave day, but for a beginner-friendly session, it’s alright. Sunday, 9 August, and Monday, 10 August, stay small and clean, but nothing that will get your heart racing.

Now, here’s where we start to get excited. Saturday, 15 August, morning shows 3ft SSW swell with a long 15-second period, combined energy of 379, and a clean NNW cross-off wind. The afternoon cleans up even more with an NNE offshore breeze, 3ft, and energy of 365. But the real gem is Sunday, 16 August. The morning is glassy – zero wind, 3ft SSW swell, 14-second period, and a combined energy of 521. That’s moderate to strong energy, and the waves will be clean, lined up, and perfect for a reef like Coragi. This is the best on offer in the first half of the outlook.

Monday, 17 August, keeps the quality high with a glassy morning, 3ft SSE swell, 12-second period, and energy of 607. The afternoon gets a little cross-on breeze, but it’s still surfable.

Then, Tuesday, 18 August, and Wednesday, 19 August, are the true standouts. Tuesday morning has 3ft S swell, a very long 16-second period, and combined energy of 876 – that’s strong energy. The wind is NNE offshore, so it’s clean and powerful. This is a proper groundswell, and at Coragi, a reef break, that long period will draw in some beautiful, bowling waves. Wednesday morning is similar: 4ft S swell, 14-second period, energy of 694, clean offshore wind. This is expert territory – the swell is over 5ft, and that long period will make it suck up and wall. For the advanced crew, this is as good as it gets.

Through the rest of the second week, the energy drops back to the 100-400 range, and the swell backs off a bit. Thursday, 20 August, is still good with 3ft S swell and clean offshore winds, but it’s a step down from the mid-week peak.

Overall, the best bet is to aim for Sunday, 16 August, through Wednesday, 19 August. The glassy conditions on the 16th and the long-period, offshore days on the 18th and 19th are your winners. Crowds are possible at Coragi, so get there early.

Rusty out.
