The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get real about the outlook for Corners.
We’re staring down a long, rough patch. The first week is basically a write-off. There’s surf on the horizon, but it’s a monster that’s way too mean for any of us. This isn’t a paddle-out situation for a while.
From Thursday the 6th right through to the morning of Tuesday the 11th, the entire forecast is a hard no. The swell is either non-existent or, when it does show up on Friday the 7th (a massive 30ft NW swell), it’s packing hurricane-force winds and a combined energy of 23712. That’s a violent, dangerous ocean. This trend continues through Saturday with 34ft S swells and more hurricane-force winds (energy hitting 42875), and into Sunday with 23ft SSW swell and gale-force winds (15941 energy). It’s not surf; it’s survival. After that, it drops but stays messy, blown out, and unrideable through the rest of the week.
There’s a big gap of no real surf until the very end of the forecast. The best run we get is a long shot starting on Monday the 17th. The swell is tiny, only 3ft from the S, but here’s the glimmer: the wind finally swings offshore from the ENE. It’s a gentle to moderate breeze, and the water temp is a touch warmer than normal at 87°F.
This little window of clean, knee-high waves runs from Monday the 17th through to the morning of Friday the 21st. It’s surfable, but only just. The energy is weak (101 to 208), and the period is short (8-10 seconds), so don’t expect any power. The standout moment is the afternoon of Friday the 21st. That’s the only day the forecast says “expect good surf conditions.” With a 3ft S swell, 10-second period, and clean offshore breeze, it’s the best we’ve got in the whole 16 days. It’s tiny, but it’s clean. For a reef break, that offshore wind will make it look pretty.
Given the lack of size and the long stretch of dangerous or flat conditions, there’s not much to get excited about. It’s a waiting game. If you’re desperate for a paddle, that Friday the 21st is your only real chance.
Stay patient, 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.
