Corners Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Corners over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – it’s a pretty grim run for a while. We’re looking at a solid gap in the action. The first few days are all messed up with storm risks and onshore junk, so don’t even bother paddling out until things clean up.

The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t arrive until Sunday morning, the 6th of September. That’s when we get a clean little 3ft SSW swell rolling in, with a period of 8 seconds, and a moderate offshore wind from the ENE. It’s not pumping, but it’s surfable. The wave energy is pretty weak though, only clocking in at (142). The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing crazy there.

Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th are small and weak, with the swell dropping to 2ft and 2ft, so it’s a bit of a waiting game. The whole week is a struggle, with waves barely cracking 2ft and energy levels sinking into the double digits.

Things start to look a bit more interesting around Friday the 11th. The swell bumps up to 5ft from the SE, period is a short 7 seconds, and the wind is a messy cross-shore. The energy is moderate at (235), but the conditions are choppy. Saturday the 12th is the best of a bad bunch. We’ve got a 7ft SSE swell with a 10-second period, which is a proper groundswell. The energy is strong at (892). It’s a solid size, pushing into that expert-only territory for sure. The wind is a gentle cross-shore, so it’s not perfect, but it’s the most power we’ll see. Keep in mind, with that long period, the waves might be a bit walled at a beach break, but Corners is a reef, so it should handle it better.

After that, it all fades out again. Sunday the 13th offers a clean 3ft S swell with offshore winds, but it’s weak. From Monday the 14th right through to the end of the 16-day window, it’s a total desert. Tiny, weak waves, mostly under 2ft, with energy barely registering. The 20th of September morning is flat as a tack, with glassy conditions and 0.7ft of swell. Not a single standout session in that second week.

So, if you’re looking for the best bet, it’s gotta be Saturday the 12th of September. It’s the biggest, most powerful swell of the run, and while the wind is cross-shore, the 10-second period will give you some decent shape. It’s an advanced wave, so leave the foamies at home. The rest of the window is a write-off for a proper surf.

Rusty, signing off.
