Corners Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's look at what's cooking for Corners.

It's a pretty grim start. The first week and a half is a total bust. Tiny, weak waves, poor winds, and nothing worth suiting up for. The combined swell energy is almost nothing, mostly in the single or low double digits. This dry spell runs from the start right through to the beginning of the first week of August.

Finally, there's a pulse. The standout window opens on Saturday, August 8th. The afternoon is the real deal: a 4ft swell from the west, with a moderate combined energy of 499, and the wind goes glassy. That's a huge positive – it'll be clean and smooth. It's a reef break, and with a west swell, it should line up nicely. It's fairly consistent, but expect it to be crowded often.

Sunday, August 9th keeps the goods coming. The morning is a winner with a 4ft SSW swell and a clean offshore wind from the east at 6 mph. The energy is 255 (moderate), and that offshore wind will make it feel like a private session. The afternoon sees the swell bump to 5ft, but the wind goes more cross-off, so still clean, just not as perfect.

Monday, August 10th is another solid day. The morning has a 4ft SW swell with a clean offshore wind from the ENE at 6 mph, and the energy is up to 487 (moderate). The afternoon stays clean with a moderate offshore breeze, so it's a full-day option.

The top pick is that Saturday 8th afternoon session. Glassy, 4ft, west swell at a reef that loves it. That's the one to get excited about. The swell gets bigger after that, hitting 6ft to 6ft on the 11th and 12th, but the wind picks up and gets more cross-off, so the quality drops. That size is still fine for the experienced crew, but it's not the same.

Water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing special.

Rusty, out.
