Alright, let’s break down what’s happenin’ at Kiddies Corner for the next couple weeks.

Water temp is about 66°F, right around normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The start is slow. Thursday the 9th has a 6ft SE swell, but the wind is cross-on and it’s choppy – not a good look. The combined energy is moderate at 604, but you’d be fightin’ the conditions.

Friday the 10th is where it gets good. In the morning, we’ve got a 6ft SE swell with a light cross-offshore breeze, and the report says “expect very good surf conditions.” Then the afternoon turns glassy with a 5ft SE swell. That’s clean, that’s fun, and for a beginner-friendly spot, that’s a real winner. The energy Friday afternoon is 543, still moderate, but the glassy conditions make it the best of the early run.

Saturday the 11th morning is still clean with a 4ft SE swell, but energy drops to 367. It’s surfable, but nothin’ special.

From Sunday the 12th, the swell crashes. We’re talkin’ 3ft, then 2ft, then 1ft… energy drops below 100. There’s a big gap from Sunday afternoon through Wednesday the 15th where it’s just flat and not worth paddlin’ out.

Then it goes nuts. Thursday the 16th, the swell jumps to 16ft from the SSE, energy 4318. That’s way too big for this break. Same story through the 17th, 18th, and 19th – all 15ft to 18ft swells, energy in the thousands. That’s for experts only, and even then, it’s not the right spot for that kind of size.

The real standout is Monday the 20th afternoon. The swell has dropped to 8ft from the SE, with a 11-second period, and the wind is dead calm – glassy. The energy is still strong at 1575, and the report says “excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers.” That’s the one to circle on the calendar. Beginners should stay out, but for the crew that can handle it, that’s the best session of the run.

Tuesday the 21st morning is still solid with a 6ft SE swell, offshore wind, and clean conditions. The energy is 716, moderate. Good backup.

After that, it fades again. Wednesday the 22nd is windy and messy, and Friday the 24th brings a 6ft ESE swell with clean conditions, but the wind is cross-off, so it’s just okay.

So, bottom line: Friday the 10th for clean, fun, beginner waves, and Monday the 20th afternoon for the experienced crew lookin’ for a glassy, solid swell. The rest is either flat, too big, or blown out.

Rusty.

Information about the Kiddies Corner Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Kiddies Corner provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Kiddies Corner can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Kiddies Corner 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.

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 Kiddies Corner 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.
