Corners Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down what's coming up at Corners over the next couple of weeks.

We're looking at a slow start, but don't give up hope. The surf is flat to tiny early on, but it’s building towards a major pulse in the middle of the outlook. The water temp is about 82°, which is normal for the season.

From now through the end of this week, it’s real quiet. Tiny waves from 1 to 2 ft through Sunday and Monday, with onshore wind, so you can keep your board in the car. Then, on Tuesday July 7th, we get a little pulse: glassy 2 ft swell from the SE. It’s got a very long 18-second period, so it's proper groundswell, but on a reef that long period often makes the waves fat and straight. Tuesday afternoon gets better, with the swell up to 4 ft, still glassy, and the energy is looking solid (798). That's a decent window for the average surfer.

Wednesday July 8th is where the real talk begins. The swell hits 8 ft in the morning from the SE, with a clean offshore wind. This is over the 8 ft mark, so only for experienced surfers. The energy is cranking at 4129. By the afternoon, it’s 10 ft, still clean, wind holding.

Thursday July 9th is your day. The stand-out. Morning sees a massive 13 ft SE swell with clean 15 mph offshore winds. The energy reading is huge at 8800. This is expert-only territory. The period is a solid 17 seconds, meaning powerful, organized groundswell. The afternoon goes even bigger to nearly 15 ft, with the risk of thunderstorms, but the quality is still there.

Friday July 10th and Saturday July 11th see the swell go completely bananas, with heights of 21 ft and 23 ft and energy readings over 44,000. For Corners, that is simply too much swell. The forecast says it’s too big for this break, so it’ll be a washing machine. The wind stays cross-offshore.

After that monster, things back off. Sunday July 12th still has a solid 10 ft from the SSE, but the period drops to 11 seconds and the wind is stronger, getting a bit messy. The following days see a steady drop: Monday 13th is 7 ft to 6 ft, Tuesday 14th is 5 ft to 4 ft with some glassy spells, and Wednesday 15th is around 4 ft.

From Thursday July 16th all the way to Monday July 20th, it’s small and weak. Wave heights are mostly under 3 ft, with energy values under 200. Even with some glassy mornings and offshore breezes, there’s just no wave to ride. It’s a flat spell to end the two weeks.

So here’s the call: the first couple of days are a write-off. Wednesday is for the experienced. Thursday July 9th is the peak – big, powerful, and clean. After that, it’s a slow fade to nothing by the end of the second week.

Rusty.
