Coragi Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright mates, Rusty here. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks. It’s a slow burn for a while, but there’s some serious light at the end of the tunnel. The first week is pretty slim pickings, but hold on to your boards because the window after that looks like it could be something special.

We start off with a bit of a whimper. For the first few days, from the 8th to the 11th, we’re looking at small, clean but weak surf. Saturday the 8th has clean conditions with a light offshore wind but the swell is tiny at around 3 feet and the energy is weak (270). It’s surfable, but you’ll be working hard for nothing. The water temp is sitting at 81°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. Sunday and Monday are much the same, maybe even a touch smaller, with just average, ordinary conditions. It’s not bad, just not exciting.

Tuesday the 12th sees the swell drop even more, though the period lengthens, which means the ocean might have a bit more push to it, but the size just isn't there. Wednesday starts to get a little more interesting energy-wise (455), but the wind turns cross-shore and it gets a bit grovelly. There’s a bump in size as we go through the day, but it’s messy.

The first real bright spot arrives on Friday the 14th. The wind drops out completely and it turns glassy with a background, long-period SSW swell. It’s a touch inconsistent, but the quality jumps way up. This is when the ocean starts to wake up. Saturday the 15th continues that trend, with some nice lines wrapping in, clean conditions and the energy is building (470).

Now, here’s where it gets proper. From Sunday the 16th onwards, it’s game on. The swell fills in consistently, holding around 3 feet with long, powerful periods. The wind stays offshore or light, keeping the surface clean. Monday the 17th is all-time conditions, light offshores and consistent sets. But the standout, the one I’m circling on the calendar, is Tuesday the 18th. The swell pushes up to 5 feet with a 16-second period, and the energy jumps into the four-digit range (1126). That’s proper groundswell. This is the best day of the entire window. The wave faces will have some punch, lining up nicely on the reef. This is for experienced surfers; it’s not the day for beginners. The size is up, it’s going to be powerful, and it might be a handful, but for those who know what they're doing, it'll be epic.

After that, Wednesday and Thursday the 19th and 20th still have plenty of good surf, with Thursday afternoon looking absolutely glassy. The swell eases slightly but quality remains high.

The second week is a little more long-range, so don’t hold me to the exact details, but the pattern remains promising. We should see plenty of clean waves through the 21st and 22nd. The 22nd has a solid offshore breeze, but it's a longer-period swell again, so look for the points and reefs to handle it best. It might be a little big and straight for the beach breaks. Then it looks like another push of south swell for Sunday the 23rd, closing the window out with more clean, powerful surf.

So there you have it. A slow start, but from the 16th on, it’s looking proper. Tuesday the 18th is the day to get excited about, just be ready for a proper wave.

Stay stoked,
Rusty.
