Corners Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright mates, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what the ocean's got for us over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, so let’s break it down day by day.

We kick things off on Monday the 10th with some decent energy in the water, but it’s a bit messy. There's a solid 6ft of south swell running, but the wind is a cross-off at 16 mph and there are storms about. It’s surfable, but you’ll be working for it. The energy is strong at 1443, but it’s not the cleanest. It’s a similar story into Tuesday the 11th; the swell backs off slightly to 5ft, but the wind drops right out, leaving us with much cleaner conditions. That’s looking like the pick of the first few days, with the energy still moderate at 648.

Then we hit a bit of a lull. Wednesday the 12th sees the swell drop to 5ft, but the wind goes onshore and the conditions turn poor. The energy tanks to 300. From there, it’s a slow grind down. The swell fades through the rest of the week, and we’re looking at small, weak surf, mostly under 3ft, with the energy dropping to the low 100s and below. The wind stays mostly cross-off or light, but there’s just not much push. Saturday afternoon the 15th goes glassy, but with only 4ft on offer, it’s pretty weak.

The second week doesn’t start with much hope either. The swell stays small and weak, and the wind picks up. From the 18th through to the 20th, we’re looking at poor conditions with a rising trade wind, and the swell is down around 2ft to 2ft. The energy is weak, below 100. It’s grim.

But hold on, there's a pulse on the charts. Friday the 21st shows a bump of new energy coming in. We’re looking at 7ft of southeast swell, but the period is only 8 seconds, so it’s a bit short-period and junky. The energy is moderate at 484, but the wind is still cross-off and there are storms around. It’s a promise of something, but the conditions look marginal.

After that, it fades again. The weekend of the 23rd and 24th is small and poor, with the swell dropping back under 3ft and the wind staying fresh out of the southeast. The energy is weak, and it’s not worth getting too excited about.

So, the standout window is Tuesday the 11th. That’s your best bet for a clean session on the Corners (this region). The 5ft south swell with light winds will be the cleanest waves of the period. It’s not huge, but it’ll be the most fun you’ll have. The other pulse on the 21st is worth keeping an eye on, but it’s a week and a half away, and the short period and wind make it a bit of a gamble. Remember, this is a reef break, so it can handle the swell, but the short period might make it a bit lumpy.

The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

Alright, that’s the long and short of it. It’s not a classic fortnight, but there’s a couple of windows to get wet. Stay stoked.

Rusty.
