The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk in feet and miles per hour. Rusty here, keeping it real.
The first ten days or so are a total flat spell. From Wednesday, July 29th, right through to Tuesday, August 5th, there’s basically nothing to surf at Corners (a reef break). The swell is a measly 1 foot, with periods around 8 to 10 seconds. The combined energy is weak – between 9 and 32 – that’s just a whisper. Water temp is about 85°F, normal for the season, but with no waves you’re just floating. Winds are glassy or light in the mornings, but there’s no rideable swell. Thursday, August 6th, shows a 7-foot swell from the WNW, but the period is a short 7 seconds, the wind is cross-shore and moderate, and the combined energy is 427. Still, it’s poor quality, and honestly, that setup looks more like a kiteboarding day than a surfing session. Friday, August 7th, is a write-off: gale-force cross-onshore winds and a 10-foot swell – that’s for experts only, and it’ll be blown to bits.
The one true standout is Wednesday, August 12th. The morning has clean offshore winds from the east at 12 mph, with a 3-foot south swell at 10 seconds. The combined energy is 172 – moderate. But the afternoon is the real winner: clear skies, a gentle offshore breeze from the ENE at 9 mph, and the swell bumps up to 3 feet from the south, still at 10 seconds. The combined energy hits 245, and the forecast says “expect good surf conditions” – the only time in the whole run. That’s your session. The reef at Corners will handle that long-period swell beautifully, and with offshore wind, it’ll be clean and lined up. Just know that crowds are “often,” so expect some company.
After that, Thursday, August 13th, drops back to 3 feet with cross-shore winds and choppy conditions. So, a long flat spell, then one golden afternoon. It’s been a quiet stretch, but it only takes a small shift in the forecast to turn things around.
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.
