Corners Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Corners. Straight up, the next week or so is pretty grim – small, weak, and ordinary. There’s a tiny window of something better at the very end, but it’s a long way off.

We're starting off with Corners. The water temp is about 84°, which is bang on average for this time of year. For Thursday morning the 13th, there might be a glassy moment with a tiny 3-ft S swell, but the energy is weak at 178 and it’s short period at 8 seconds. It’s surfable, but just barely. Thursday afternoon is a write-off with poor conditions.

Friday the 14th morning is glassy again with a similar 3-ft SSW swell, but still weak and ordinary. That trend holds through Saturday the 15th – glassy mornings, tiny swell around 2-ft, weak energy (126 and 105). Clean, but there’s hardly any push.

Sunday the 16th morning is a little better with a clean 3-ft SSW swell and a light cross-off breeze, but the energy is only 124. The afternoons all week are pretty poor or just ordinary.

There’s a bit of a pulse that shows up around Thursday the 20th afternoon, with a sudden jump to 8-ft from the SE, and the combined energy hits 952 – that’s strong. But the wind is a moderate cross-off from the ESE, and the period is still short at 9 seconds. This swell is pushing up into the 8-ft to 6-ft range through Friday the 21st, with energy in the 900s and 454. This is getting into expert territory, and it’s a fairly exposed reef break, so it’ll be powerful but messy with that cross-off wind.

The standout window, if you can wait, is on Saturday the 22nd morning. The swell drops to a more manageable 4-ft from the S, period still 9 seconds, but the wind is light from the E (cross-off) and the energy is a moderate 270. Conditions are clean. This is the best on offer – it’s not a classic, but it’s the most surfable window after a long dry spell. It’s still only 4-ft, so more of a fun-sized day for the experienced crew.

After that, it tanks again. From Sunday the 23rd onward, it’s mostly poor with building wind, and by Monday the 24th a strong breeze and then a near gale from the NNW just wraps it up. The last few days of the month show tiny swell and bigger wind. Friday the 28th morning might offer a tiny 2-ft S swell with light wind, but again, it’s small and ordinary.

So, overall? A pretty bleak run. The only real shout is Saturday morning the 22nd, but even then, keep expectations low. It’s been quiet, and it’s going to stay that way for a while.
