The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, and I’ve been staring at the charts for our local corner. Let’s be straight up—this isn’t a week for the photo album. We’ve got a long, slow grind ahead before any real juice shows up.
The water’s sitting at 81°, which is a bit colder than we’d expect for this time of year, so you might want that extra mil.
Right now, for the first few days, we’re looking at a pretty grim picture. From Wednesday the 15th through to the end of the first week, it’s mostly onshore slop. The swell is tiny, around 2 ft to 4 ft, coming from the SW, and the wind is either on it or cross-onshore. The energy is weak to moderate, and it’s just poor surf conditions across the board. Honestly, not worth paddling out for.
We hit a bit of a lull over the weekend and into the start of the next week. The waves stay small, but the wind finally starts to play ball. On Tuesday the 21st, we get a glassy morning with the wind dropping to just 3 mph. The swell is only 3 ft from the SW, and the energy is low, but it’s looking surfable. It’s not a classic, just a chance to get wet without getting worked.
The real standout, and the only one in this whole 16-day window, is way down the line on Tuesday the 28th. Corners is looking like it could be a proper session. We’ve got a solid 5 ft – 7 ft swell rolling in from the SE, with a clean, cross-offshore wind. The energy jumps right up to moderate to strong, and the period is a nice, long 14 seconds, so that’s a proper groundswell. This is a reef break, so it should handle that long-period energy well. It’s a spot for the advanced crew, as it’s a bit heavy, and it’s often crowded, so expect some company in the lineup. This is the one to circle on the calendar.
After that, it gets messy again. By Wednesday the 29th, the swell ramps up to 12 ft – 13 ft, which is strictly for experts only, and the wind turns gusty with a risk of thunderstorms. The energy is massive, but the conditions are marginal at best, and by the 30th it’s all cross-shore gales and 15 ft of messy, blown-out surf. That’s a kite-surfing setup, not a paddle-surfing one.
So, to sum it up: the next week is a write-off. The second week is quiet until the 28th, which is our best shot. Get ready for that Tuesday.

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.
