The Lowdown
Alright, let’s swap the numbers. We’re looking at a solid run of surf coming up for Coragi. This place is a reef setup, and it likes a good swell from the SSE. The water is at 82°F, which is about 1°F warmer than the usual for this time of year – so nothing extreme, just a nice little warm-up.
The first few days are a bit of a slow burn. Sunday the 23rd kicks off with clean, 3ft waves from the SSW, with a gentle offshore breeze all day. The energy is moderate (209 combined energy) and the period is a solid 11 seconds, so there’s some nice shape there. It’s a small, clean start.
Then Monday and Tuesday drop off a bit. The waves are still in the 3ft to 3ft range, but the period drops to 8-10 seconds, and the energy weakens. The wind stays offshore, but the conditions are just very ordinary. It’s a bit of a flat spot.
Wednesday the 26th is a different beast. The swell jumps to 7ft from the SSE, with a strong combined energy of 820. That’s a powerful pulse. But the wind is a messy cross-shore from the ESE in the morning, with a risk of thunderstorms. The afternoon cleans up a bit with some cross-off wind, but it’s still a big, raw swell. For the advanced crew only at that size.
Thursday and Friday calm down again, with the swell dropping back to 4ft and then 2ft. The wind is good, offshore, but the energy is weak. Things are a bit sleepy.
Now, here’s where it gets good. Saturday the 29th sees a nice SSW swell of 3ft, but the period jumps to 16 seconds. That’s a long period groundswell. The energy is strong (439) and the wind is offshore in the morning. This is a proper clean window for the reef.
Sunday the 30th and Monday the 31st are the standout days of the whole outlook. You’ve got a consistent 4ft SSW swell with a very long period of 16 seconds, and offshore winds all day. The energy is very high (791 and 784). This is premium Coragi. The sets will be clean, powerful, and well-shaped. The long period means it’ll be a bit more selective on the reef, but for the advanced surfer, this is the call.
After that, the swell backs off again through the first week of September, with the period dropping and the energy fading. Sunday the 6th of September offers a bit of a reprieve with glassy conditions from the south, but the swell is only 3ft.
Overall, the best waves are on the 30th and 31st. That 4ft SSW groundswell with offshore winds is the real deal.

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.
