The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s coming up. The surf window opens up with some small, tricky waves, but the real story is a big pulse of swell building into the second week. There’s a bit of a lull in the middle, so you gotta pick your days.
It starts off pretty average at Corners. Sunday the 30th sees a small 4ft SSW swell, cross-off SE wind at 12 mph, and water temp sitting at 83°, which is bang on average for this time of year. The energy is weak, just 203, and it’s marginal. Monday the 31st is even smaller, 3-3ft, with a stiff cross-off E wind. Not worth the paddle. Tuesday the 1st of September has a tiny 2ft morning, but the afternoon jumps to 6ft from the SSW, though it’s on cross-on wind. The combined energy climbs to 879, still moderate, but the wind kills it. Wednesday the 2nd gets a bump to 7ft from the SSW, with a cross wind picking up to 19 mph, and energy hits 1042. It’s choppy and marginal – better for a kite than a paddle. Thursday the 3rd and Friday the 4th stay messy with 7-10ft SSW swell, strong cross winds, and lumpy conditions. Things settle a bit Friday afternoon: 5ft SSW, cross-off SE breeze at 12 mph, energy dropping to 563. Cleaner, but still not pumping.
Saturday the 5th is a small clean day, 3-3ft, with light offshore ENE wind in the afternoon. The energy is weak at 168. Best for a log or a longboard, not a standout.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. There’s a gap of a few days of mostly dud conditions, but hold on. Wednesday the 9th of September lights up. Corners gets a solid 10ft WNW groundswell with a 11-second period, and offshore ENE wind at 12 mph out of the NE in the afternoon. The combined energy is strong at 2181. This is proper expert-only, big, clean, and powerful. Long-period groundswell like this will set up nicely on the reef, but it’s for experienced surfers only. This is the standout of the outlook – a true highlight.
After that, the swell drops fast. Thursday the 10th sees 6ft W swell, but the wind goes cross-off and the energy falls to 840. Then it fades into tiny, blown-out junk from the 11th onwards, with severe to violent storm-force winds on the 12th and 13th making it a full-on mess. The 14th is flat and choppy. Nothing else to chase.
So, the call is clear: Saturday the 5th for a small cruiser session, and Wednesday the 9th for the big boys. That’s the one. Don’t sleep on it.
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.
