Coragi Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a solid run of cleaner, smaller waves kicking off right now, with a real standout session on Sunday morning. The swell is coming from the S at 3ft with a short period of 7 seconds at Coragi, but the wind is a light offshore from the NNE and it’s glassy. The water temp is about average for this time of year. The combined wave energy is moderate (234), so it’s not huge, but it’s clean and lining up. This is the pick of the first week.

Sunday afternoon drops to 3ft from the SSW but picks up a long period of 13 seconds, still with that light offshore breeze. That’s a nice combo for a reef setup like Coragi – the longer period means more shape and better waves, even if it’s a bit smaller.

Monday morning and afternoon keep the 3ft S swell with a 12-second period, and the wind is a moderate offshore from the NNE. Still clean, still surfable, but not as special as Sunday. The energy is moderate (232 and 218).

Tuesday morning holds 3ft S swell, 11-second period, with a light cross-offshore from the E. It’s clean, but the wind is a bit tricky. By Tuesday afternoon, it goes cross-shore and the conditions get more marginal.

Wednesday is a bit of a drop-off. The swell is small (3ft to 2ft) and the energy is lower (177 and 103). Thursday perks back up with 3ft S swell and a 10 to 11-second period, and a moderate offshore wind from the N and NNE. The energy is back to moderate (202 and 212). That’s a solid day.

Friday morning is still surfable at 3ft, but the wind is cross-offshore. The real treat is Friday afternoon: glassy conditions with the wind swinging SE at 5 km/h, and the swell is 3ft from the S at 10 seconds. It’s clean but the energy is lower (136). Still, glassy is glassy.

Saturday and Sunday of the first weekend are a mixed bag. Saturday morning has 3ft S swell, light offshore wind, but the period is dropping to 9 seconds. The energy is low (126). Sunday morning has a slightly bigger 3ft SSE swell but the period is short (8 seconds) and the energy is low (115). It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about.

Then we hit a dry spell. From Monday 27 July through to Thursday 30 July, the waves are poor. The swell drops to 2ft, then 2ft, then 2ft, and the energy is weak (under 100). Some of these days are glassy, but there’s just no power. This is a proper gap of a few days with no real surf.

Friday 31 July things start to stir again. The swell is still tiny (1ft to 2ft), but the period jumps to 14 seconds from the SSW on the morning, and the energy starts to build back up (92, then 159). By Saturday 1 August, we get a 2ft S swell with a 12-second period, and it’s glassy. The energy is moderate (213). This is a promising run for the second week, but it's a long way out, so don’t lock it in. Sunday 2 August has a 3ft SSE swell with an 8-second period in the morning, then 2ft S swell with a 13-second period in the afternoon. The afternoon has glassy to light cross-offshore wind and moderate energy (202). Monday 3 August finishes with a 3ft SSE swell and an 8-second period, but the wind is light and cross-offshore.

The standout for the whole period is Sunday morning, 19 July, at Coragi. That’s the one with the clean 3ft S swell and light offshore. For the second week, keep an eye on Saturday 1 August afternoon – that glassy 2ft S swell with a 12-second period could be a sneaky good one if the forecast holds.

Rusty out.
