The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at the surf over the next couple of weeks at Corners.
Right off the bat, it’s a rough start. We’ve got a solid week of tiny, weak waves, strong winds, and just plain ugly conditions. The water is sitting at 87°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s one nice thing if you’re just floating around. But for surfing? Forget it. From Monday the 3rd right through to Sunday the 9th of August, it’s a write-off. We’re talking flat spells, hurricane-force cross-shore winds, and a massive storm system that’s just going to make a mess of things. The combined energy is zero for days, and when it finally shows up on the 8th, it’s a terrifying 28ft swell with a period of 13 seconds and over 23,000 units of energy. That’s not surfable for anyone. It’s a dangerous, violent mess.
The real story starts to turn around on Monday the 12th of August. The swell drops back to a more manageable 6ft from the SW, with a long 12-second period. The wind goes light and cross-offshore from the NE, and the conditions clean right up. The combined energy is still moderate at 2,267 units, but for a reef break like Corners, that long-period groundswell is going to wrap in nicely and offer some proper, powerful lines. This is a standout for experienced surfers only—anything over 5ft is getting serious, and this is in that zone. It’s not for beginners. Tuesday the 13th keeps the goods coming with a 8ft swell from the SSW, still with a clean cross-offshore breeze. The period is a solid 11 seconds, and the energy is good. This is your best window.
Later in the week, from the 14th into the 15th, the swell slowly backs off to 5ft and then 4ft, but the wind stays offshore or light cross-off, keeping the waves clean and lined up. It’s not the punch of the 12th, but it’s still fun. The crowd factor at Corners is listed as "often," so expect some company. After the 16th, the swell fades out again, and we’re back to small, choppy leftovers.
So, if you’re looking for the best of it, be ready for Monday the 12th and Tuesday the 13th of August. That’s the pick of the fortnight. The surf is clean, the swell has direction and power, and it’s all about the reef. Just keep the beginners on the beach for that.
Rusty.

Information about the Corners Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Corners provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Corners can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Corners 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 (Corners) 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 Corners 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.
