Corners Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s in store for Corners (advanced, reef break, exposed to the SW). It’s a pretty bleak start to the outlook, I’m not gonna lie. The first few days are a write-off—nothing but poor surf conditions with messy winds. We’ve got a long gap of no real surf to speak of from Tuesday all the way through to Friday, just flat and stormy. The water is sitting at a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, at 87°F.

Things look like they might get interesting around Saturday the 8th, but it’s a bit of a wild card. We’re looking at a solid 18 feet swell from the NW, with a period of 12 seconds. That’s some serious energy (9191), but the wind is gonna be a messy cross-shore, making it a bit of a challenge. It’s a marginal call, so don’t count on perfection.

Then, on Sunday the 9th, the swell absolutely pumps up—30 feet from the SW with a 13-second period. That’s massive energy (25079), and the forecast says the wind and tide are favorable, but honestly, at that size, it’s predicted to be too big for this break. The winds are strong, so this is expert territory only, and it looks like a lot of the time it’ll be blown out. The same goes for Monday the 10th, with 28 feet to 23 feet swells, but the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, making it a messy, dangerous mess. This is not a beginner’s game.

After that, the surf drops off hard. By Tuesday the 11th, we’re down to 10 feet, and the wind is a cross-on, creating lumpy, poor conditions. The rest of the week into the second week looks small and uninspiring, with swells mostly under 3 feet, poor surf, and cross-shore winds. The combined energy drops way down (hundreds, not thousands), and the period is short, so it’s not going to be worth the paddle. The best bet if you’re desperate is Wednesday the 12th morning, with a clean 6 feet from the S, but it’s still a marginal call.

Overall, your standout is the big swell on Saturday the 8th, but you’ll need to be a solid expert to handle the conditions. The Sunday the 9th and Monday the 10th are for the truly mad. For the rest of us, it’s a waiting game. The crowds are "often" here, so if you’re forced to go, expect company.

Rusty.
