Coragi Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a good hard look at what we've got coming down the line at Coragi. It's a reef break that needs a solid SSE swell direction to light up, and it's an expert-only wave. The water temp is sitting at a very normal 27° for this time of year, so no surprises there.

Honestly, it's a slow start. We're kicking things off on Wednesday the 29th of July, but the swell is tiny at 1 ft from the SSE with an 8-second period. The combined energy is a weak 37, so there's just nothing to work with. We'll see the same story on Thursday the 30th with a 1.0 ft S swell, though it does have a long 16-second period from the south. That's a groundswell, but it's just too small to be rideable here.

The first real flicker of hope comes on Friday afternoon the 31st of July. We get a 2 ft S swell with a 13-second period, and the wind goes glassy from the WNW. That's a beautiful combo for a reef. The energy is still only moderate at 156, so it's not a standout day, but it's the first time you might get a few little ones if you're desperate. Saturday and Sunday through the 1st and 2nd of August are a write-off with onshore winds and messy, choppy conditions. The swell gets a bit bigger on Sunday afternoon, hitting 4 ft, but it's short period at 8 seconds and the wind is cross-onshore. Combined energy jumps to 299, but the wind ruins it.

The first full week of August is littered with "surfable but ordinary" sessions. Monday the 3rd, Tuesday the 4th, and Wednesday the 5th all offer small, clean waves in the 1 ft to 2 ft range with light winds or morning offshores. The energy is weak to moderate, topping out at 164. These are days for a longboard and a lot of patience. Thursday the 6th of August has glassy conditions again, with a 3 ft SSE swell. That’s the biggest of the small stuff and the energy is 141. Clean, but still tiny.

Now, there are a couple of dates that actually look promising if you can wait. Sunday the 9th of August is a standout. The morning shows a 3 ft S swell with a 10-second period, a light offshore NE wind at 6 mph, and the combined energy hits a solid 220. The report even says "expect good surf conditions." This is the pick of the first two weeks. It's not big, but it's clean, has a decent average period, and the direction is right.

Further out, we get a real quality window. Wednesday the 12th of August afternoon goes glassy with a 2 ft S swell, but the period stretches out to a very long 15 seconds from the south. The energy spikes to 263, which is solidly moderate. That long period will really wrap into this reef, giving proper shape. Then, Thursday the 13th of August is the absolute best on offer. Morning is dead calm, glassy as a lake, with a 3 ft S swell at 13 seconds. The combined energy is the highest of the whole run at 306. This is the one to circle on the calendar. It's a long-range call, so you keep your fingers crossed, but the ingredients are all there for a fantastic session at a quiet, expert reef. Just be aware, crowds can happen here sometimes, so if you see it pumping on the 13th, you’ll want to be early.

Rusty.
