Corners Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here again, but this time in feet and miles per hour for you.

We’re lookin’ at Corners over the next couple weeks. It’s a reef break that needs that southwest swell to get goin’, and we’ve got some waiting ahead.

Water temp is about 84°F – normal for this time of year, no big anomaly.

So Tuesday the 18th and Wednesday the 19th, it’s small – 2 feet down to 1 foot, southwest swell, 8 seconds period. Energy is weak (54 to 26). The wind’s offshore from the east, but blowin’ at 15 to 19 mph, so it’s not clean. These are poor days, not worth it.

Thursday the 20th jumps to about 8 feet from the southeast, still short period at 8 seconds, energy 737. Wind is cross-offshore, but the quality is marginal. Might have a few rideable waves, but don’t expect it to be good.

Friday the 21st – 8 feet from the south-southeast, period 7 seconds, energy 695. Wind is cross-shore and there’s a chop. This is more of a kite-surfing day than a paddle-surfing one. Big enough but messy.

There’s a big gap from Saturday the 22nd all the way to Monday the 31st of August. That’s over a week of small, weak swell with no real quality. A few 4-foot days here and there, but the wind is never right, and the energy stays low. Just a whole lot of nothin’.

But Tuesday the 1st of September – that’s when it fires. Morning has 8 feet from the south, period 12 seconds, energy 1933. The wind is a light cross-shore, not perfect but close. The real gem is the afternoon: 15 feet from the south, period 12 seconds, energy 8277. The wind is light east-northeast, cross-offshore, and it’s clean. This is an expert-only session – way too big for beginners. The long period means the waves’ll have that power and those nice gaps between sets, and the reef will handle it well. This is your standout.

Wednesday the 2nd of September is massive – morning sees 25 feet from the west, period 12 seconds, energy 15498, but it’s too big for Corners. Afternoon is 28 feet from the west-northwest, period 13 seconds, energy 24371 – again, too big. That’s just raw ocean, not for paddle surfing.

So the best call is Tuesday the 1st of September afternoon – that’s the one to circle on the calendar. The rest is a long, quiet wait.

Rusty.
