Corners Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here again, just in different numbers.

Look, I gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks here at Corners are looking flat. Real flat. We've got a solid 16-day window in front of us, but honestly, for the first ten days or so, there's just nothing doing. You're looking at a dry spell from now until around the 21st of September where the swell is basically non-existent or only showing tiny, weak 0.7ft to 1.0ft pulses. The combined wave energy is barely registering, often sitting at just 3 or zero. It's a tough stretch.

Now, from Monday the 23rd, things try to pick up, but it's ugly. We get a burst of wind from the NW, building into a gale that absolutely trashes the whole setup. The swell does bump up to 3.3ft on Monday the 23rd, but with near-gale cross-onshore winds at 37 mph, it’s a total mess – blown out and lumpy. That energy reading hits 113, but you wouldn't want to be out there. This pattern, with fresh to gale-force cross-shore winds, hangs around through the 25th. For a reef break that’s exposed, this isn't a paddle session; it's a kite surfer's dream with those strong, steady winds, and for us, it’s a hard pass.

The real glimmer, the only thing that gets me a little excited, is right at the very end of the forecast. Look at the 26th and 27th of September. The swell drops back to a tiny 1.3ft, but it shifts to a long-period groundswell from the SW at 12 seconds, with a combined energy of 45. That's a proper, clean pulse of energy. But the real beauty is the wind. On the morning of the 27th, it goes glassy. Absolutely flat calm. For a break like this, rare good conditions are everything. It’ll be tiny, clean waves, and with the light NNE breeze before the glass-off, crowds are likely as everyone tries to get a piece of that. It won't be big, but it might be the best we see in this entire stretch.
