The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. The next 16 days are a bit of a mixed bag for Coragi. There’s a run of cleaner swells early on, but it’s nothing giant – just honest, rideable waves for the advanced crew at this exposed reef. Water temp is pretty normal for this time of year, so just the usual boardshorts or a spring suit depending on your cold tolerance.
Coragi’s on the menu this weekend, and Saturday morning (September 12) actually kicks off with some promise. We’ve got a steady 3ft swell from the SSE with an 11-second period – that’s decent groundswell, not too fat. The NNE wind is offshore at 12 mph, keeping the face clean. Combined energy is 180 (moderate), so there’s some push behind it. It’s not big, but it’s clean and the break handles that direction nicely. By Saturday afternoon the energy ticks up to 200, still clean.
Sunday morning (September 13) is similar: 2ft from the SE with a glassy feel, wind dropping to 9 mph from the NE. Energy climbs to 242. Crowds are *sometimes* an issue here, so it shouldn’t be a zoo. The swell stays small but the quality is good.
Monday (September 14) is probably the best window. Morning has clean 2ft SSE swell (266 energy) with light cross-off wind. Afternoon, a long period 18-second groundswell rolls in from the south at 2ft. That long period (over 15 seconds) will bring very clean lines, perfect for Coragi’s reef setup – just expect more time between sets. The energy jumps to 306. That is your standout period for smooth, lined-up waves.
Tuesday (September 15) gets a little tricky. Swell bumps to 3ft from the SSW, period 14 seconds, but the wind picks up and there’s a risk of thunderstorms. Energy is strong at 393, but the conditions are marginal. The combined energy is three digits in the 300s, so there’s real grunt, but the quality drops. This might be more for the experienced only, with that size also pushing 3ft.
Wednesday (September 16) is back to a clean 3ft from the south, 13-second period, offshore winds. Good but not remarkable.
Then from Thursday (September 17) onward, things get much smaller. Many days show just 1ft to 2ft, with combined energy dropping into double digits or low triple digits. There’s a run of “very ordinary” days from Thursday until the following Tuesday (September 22), with occasional glassy mornings like Thursday morning – 1ft, 12-second period, glassy wind, but only 125 energy. That’s about knee-high.
From September 22 onward, we see a modest uptick. Tuesday morning (September 22) has 3ft from the south, 13 seconds, clean offshore with 262 energy. Good but not epic. Afternoon sees the wind howling at 22 mph offshore – that’s fresh and could create bumps despite being offshore.
September 25 Friday afternoon offers a rare spike: 3ft from the SSE with a 9-second period, moderate offshore at 16 mph, energy 235. That size is starting to push limits for inexperienced paddlers, but for the advanced crew at Coragi, it’s a solid wave.
The final weekend (September 26–27) fades out with strong offshore winds – up to 19 mph – but the swell drops back to 2–3ft with modest energy (97–267). Clean but not standout.
Best on offer: Monday 14 September, especially the afternoon with that 18-second period groundswell. It’s small in height but super clean and lined up. For a bit more size, Friday 25 September afternoon is the next best call, with that 3ft SSE swell and offshore winds. Both are clean, consistent, and suited to the reef.
If you’re after truly pumping surf, this 16-day window is likely to keep you patient. The energy in the water never gets into the 400s or higher, so it’s more about quality than power.

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.
