The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a slow start. The first few days are surfable but nothing to write home about—small, clean waves, but very ordinary. The water’s sitting at 81°, which is bang on normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Monday the 24th and Tuesday the 25th are offering up small Southerly swell around 3 ft, with a short period of 8 to 10 seconds. The wind is NNE and offshore, so the surface will be clean, but the wave energy is weak to moderate (148 down to 98). It’s a paddle, not a proper session.
Then Wednesday the 26th, things get interesting. A solid SSE pulse pushes in—7 ft at 9 seconds from the SSE. The combined energy jumps to 740 (moderate to strong), but the wind swings ESE then SE, putting a cross-shore and cross-onshore chop on it. Risk of thunderstorms too. The wave quality suffers, and it’s surfable but not clean. For a reef break like Coragi, that’s a bit of a letdown.
Thursday the 27th cleans up nicely with offshore NNE winds again, but the swell drops back to 4 ft and then 2 ft. Still, the morning has moderate offshore breeze and the wave energy is 163, so you’ll get a few rides if you’re keen.
Friday the 28th morning is small—2 ft, 8 seconds, weak energy (96). But hold up—Friday afternoon delivers a surprise: a 2 ft swell from the South, but with a 16-second period. That’s proper groundswell. The energy jumps to 202, and the wind stays offshore. For a reef break, that long period could mean some nice shaped waves, though the size is tiny. A real glassy, clean afternoon.
Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th are the real standouts. Saturday brings 3 ft SSW groundswell at 16 seconds, with offshore NNE wind and moderate energy (441 in the morning, 398 in the afternoon). The water is clean, the shape should be good for a reef like Coragi. But Sunday the 30th is the pick of the whole forecast. The swell holds at 4 ft from the SSW, period bumps to 15-16 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 596 and then 670. The wind is gentle offshore from the NNE. This is very good surf—clean, consistent, and with that long-period energy drawing lines through the reef. Crowds can be around sometimes, but with quality like this, you’ll want to be out there early.
Monday the 31st keeps the quality rolling with 4 ft SSW swell at 14 seconds, moderate offshore wind, and energy around 602. The morning is the best session. The afternoon turns cross-offshore with a risk of storms, so the window is a bit tighter.
From Tuesday the 1st of September through to the end of the run, the swell drops off. You’ll see small SSW groundswell—2 ft to 3 ft—with periods dropping from 13 down to 9 seconds. The wind stays mostly offshore or light, but the energy is low (119 to 182). The 4th and 5th of September have some glassy mornings, but the waves are small and weak. The 7th and 8th see a spike in period (15-16 seconds) but only 1 ft to 2 ft of swell, so it’s more of a long-period bump than a proper ride.
The standout is clearly Sunday the 30th of August—4 ft SSW groundswell, 15-16 seconds, gentle offshore wind, and very good surf conditions. That’s the one to circle on the calendar. Saturday the 29th is also a solid session, with similar conditions but slightly smaller.
No big swells here, so beginners will be fine throughout, and the only window for experts is the Wednesday 26th pulse, but the wind kills it. All in all, the reef is the only game in town, and it’s going to deliver some sweet, clean lines toward the end of the month.

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.
