The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what's coming down the pipeline for one spot that's got our attention.
Alright, so we’re looking at a bit of a slow burn over the next couple of weeks, but there's definitely a standout window for those who know what they're doing. The water temp is sitting right around 82°, which is pretty much average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
We kick things off on Thursday the 27th of August. Honestly, it's nothing to write home about. We've got a small 2.3ft swell from the south, but it's rocking a short 8-second period and the energy is only moderate at 124. The wind is offshore though, which is a positive, but the waves are very ordinary.
Things start to look more interesting from Saturday the 29th of August. That morning we see the swell pick up a bit to 3ft from the SSW and crucially, the period jumps to 15 seconds. That's proper groundswell energy, and the combined energy is a solid 458 – moderate but building. Winds are light and cross-offshore, so it's going to be clean. This is where it gets good.
But the real highlight, the one you're gonna want to circle on the calendar, is Sunday the 30th of August. Coragi, a reef break that's very consistent and handles an exposed swell, is going to fire for the experienced crew. We're looking at a clean 4ft of swell from the SSW, with a very long period of 15 seconds and a beefy combined energy of 726. That's moderate to strong wave energy for this spot. The wind is a gentle offshore breeze from the NNE all day, keeping those faces glassy. This is a proper session for advanced surfers. For a reef break, that long-period groundswell is perfect.
Monday the 31st of August keeps the fun going. The swell drops just slightly to 3.6ft from the SSW, but the period is still a meaty 14 seconds, and the energy is still strong at 571. Winds stay offshore from the NE, so it remains clean and well-shaped. If you miss Sunday, Monday morning is your backup.
After that, things taper off. Through the first week of September, we see the swell drop back down to the 2ft to 3ft range. While the winds stay mostly offshore, the periods get shorter and the energy levels drop back into the weak to moderate zone. It's surfable but nothing special.
There is a bit of a second pulse showing up around Thursday the 10th of September. The combined energy jumps back up to 705 with a very long 18-second period from the SSE, but the conditions are marginal. We're looking at moderate rain and cross-offshore winds, so it's not gonna be the clean, clean ride we had the weekend before. It's a promising, but less certain, long-range signal.
Overall, your best bet is this coming weekend, starting Saturday the 29th and absolutely locking in on Sunday the 30th of August. It's a clean, quality groundswell for the experts at Coragi. Don't sleep on it.

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.
