The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here for a look at Coragi over the next couple of weeks.
The first week is pretty mellow. From Wednesday, 2nd September through to Thursday, 10th September, we’ve got small waves mostly between 2 ft and 3 ft, from the SSE or S, with periods of 9 to 13 seconds. The combined wave energy is low to moderate (78 to 193). Wind is often offshore or glassy, so the surface is clean, but the size keeps things from being exciting. The best of this early stretch is Monday, 7th September, when it’s glassy all day – wind is calm to light – and the swell sits at 2 ft from the SSE. It’s tiny, but that glassy surface is as smooth as it gets. Just remember, crowds are possible here sometimes.
The real standout hits from Friday, 11th September through Sunday, 13th September. Swell bumps up to 4 ft – 4 ft from the SSE, with a 12-second period (groundswell). Combined wave energy jumps into the strong range (330 to 453). Wind is offshore from the NNE, moderate to gentle breeze, so the waves will be clean and lined up. This is the best window for expert surfers. The swell direction matches the optimum for Coragi, so expect the reef to produce some solid, rideable walls. The 12-second period means the sets will have some punch, but the size is still manageable for experienced guys. Crowds are possible that weekend, so plan accordingly.
After that, from Wednesday, 16th September onward, the swell drops to 3 ft from the S with a 11–12 second period, and winds go cross-offshore. The energy stays moderate (288–347), and it stays clean, but it’s not as good as that prior weekend.
To sum it up: The best surf of the whole 16-day window is without doubt the weekend of Friday 11th to Sunday 13th September. Offshore winds, a solid 4 ft groundswell, and clean conditions. The first week is mostly rideable but small – fine for a longboard or a gentle paddle, but not a standout. The gap at the start is basically a week of ordinary, small surf.
Rusty.

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.
