Corners Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, lookin' at the next 16 days for Corners. It's a reef break, open to a SW swell, and it really wants that direction. Water temp is about 83°, which is normal for this time of year.

We're in a slow spot right now. This Sunday the 30th, there's a weak 3ft SSW swell, but the cross-off wind from the ESE is messing it up. Wave energy is weak at 158. Not worth your time.

Monday the 31st is a little better. Morning has a clean 3ft south swell with a solid offshore wind from the east at 20 mph. The energy is still moderate-low at 177, and the waves are just okay. Afternoon drops off.

Tuesday the 1st of September sees a tiny 2ft in the morning, but the afternoon shows a 3ft SSW swell with a 10-second period and energy hitting 200. Light cross-off wind from the SE. It's clean and the report says good surf, but it's still small.

The real standout for the first week is Wednesday the 2nd of September. The morning has a 7ft SSW swell, 11-second period, and energy of 909. The afternoon, though, is where it's at: 10ft from the SSW, same 11-second period, and the energy jumps to 2003. That's strong. The wind is a light cross-off from the SE. This is excellent for experienced surfers. Over 8ft, so experts only.

Thursday the 3rd and Friday the 4th are still rideable but messier. Thursday morning has a 8ft S swell, 11 seconds, but the wind is a fresh 19 mph cross-off from the SE. Energy is 1210, but it's flagged as marginal. Friday offers a 7ft SSE swell in the morning, same story.

Then we hit a major gap. From Saturday the 5th of September right through to the morning of Friday the 11th, the surf is tiny or flat. An 8-day stretch of nothing. The swell drops under 3ft, and the energy figures are in the double digits or single digits.

But the second week goes off. Friday the 11th of September afternoon, a massive 15ft NW swell hits with a 10-second period. The energy is 4113—very strong. Light cross-off wind from the ESE. Excellent for experts. This is a big standout.

Saturday the 12th of September is the absolute peak. Morning and afternoon both have a 15ft WNW swell, period jumps to 12 seconds (a long-period groundswell), and the energy is 5262. That's exceptional. The wind is light from the east. For a reef, that long period should line up sweet. This is the best of the whole forecast.

Sunday the 13th still has a solid 8ft NW swell in the morning with 12 seconds, but the wind shifts to a cross-off from the NE. Energy is 1832. Still excellent for experienced surfers. The afternoon drops to 6ft, still clean.

Monday the 14th of September is a nice cleanup. Morning has a 5ft NW swell, 10-second period, light offshore from the ENE, and energy of 356. The report says good surf. A great way to end the run.

So, bottom line: first few days are small and ordinary. The standout for the first week is Wednesday the 2nd of September afternoon with a 10ft SSW swell. Then a long, flat gap. The second week's absolute standout is Saturday the 12th of September with a massive 15ft WNW groundswell. That's the one to wait for. Friday the 11th afternoon is a close second.

Rusty.
