The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening at Corners.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you—this is a tough run. The first week and a half is basically a write-off for any decent paddle surfing. The water is sitting at a warm 86°F, feeling a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, which is nice for a swim, but not much else.
We’ve got a long stretch of nothing from Monday the 3rd right through to the morning of Thursday the 13th. Wind is either cross-off or cross-on, and the swell is tiny, if it’s even showing up at all. There’s a massive spike in energy around the 7th to the 9th, with a combined swell energy that hits 21,890 on the Friday afternoon and then goes absolutely mental to 50,842 on the Saturday afternoon. But look, that’s not for us. The swell is 6 to 8 feet overhead, way too big for this break, and the wind is howling at 53 mph to 81 mph, a total mess. That’s more of a kite-surfing or survival situation.
The first real sign of life comes on Thursday the 13th afternoon. The wind swings around to a light ESE breeze at 6 mph, going cross-off, the swell comes in at 6 ft from the SSW with a period of 10 seconds, and the energy drops to 909. It’s clean, but it’s still marginal. The conditions are promising, but the waves are just not there in force.
The standout in this whole outlook is a small window on Friday the 14th morning. The wind is light offshore from the ENE at 6 mph, the swell is 5 ft from the SSW with a period of 11 seconds, and the energy is a modest 487. It’s clean, glassy, and that offshore wind will put a nice face on the wave. For a break that’s fairly consistent and exposed to a SW swell, this is the best we’re going to get. It’s not huge, but it’s rideable and clean. The break is a reef, so keep your eyes open. Crowds are often here, so don’t expect to have it to yourself.
After that, the swell fades again into the weekend and the following week, with very ordinary conditions. Nothing else really stands out as a must-surf session.
Honestly, this is one of those periods where you’re better off keeping the board in the car and checking the forecast again in a few days. It’s a long dry spell, but it won’t stay this way forever.
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.
