Kiddies Corner Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming for the next couple of weeks.

We’re focusing on Kiddies Corner. The water temp is about 65°, which is normal for the season.

The first weekend is a no-go. Sunday is poor, with a short-period 3ft SSW swell and weak energy (95). The wind is a mess. Not worth wetting a suit.

Monday morning, the 7th, is a flash of hope. The wind goes glassy, and we get a clean 5ft SSE swell with moderate energy (267). It’s a small, clean wave for the beginners. The afternoon turns onshore, so get it early.

Tuesday the 8th brings a jump. The morning sees 8ft from the S with a 9-second period and energy at 2082. The wind is cross-shore, making it choppy. A bit of a bumpy session. The afternoon drops to 7ft with a light cross-onshore breeze.

Wednesday is a step back. Morning is clean at 5ft, but a stiff 16 mph cross-offshore wind makes it tough. The afternoon gets ugly with 8ft and a 22 mph cross-shore wind.

Thursday the 10th, morning swell hits 10ft from the S, 10-second period, and strong energy (3059). This is too big for the groms – only for the experienced. The wind is cross-offshore and clean, but it’s a heavy wave. Afternoon is still solid at 8ft.

Friday the 11th is the standout of the first week. The swell settles to 7ft from the S, period 10 seconds, energy 974, with a light cross-offshore breeze. Clean, powerful, and the conditions are very good. This is the one to circle. The afternoon gets bumpy with onshore wind.

The second week starts quiet. Saturday the 12th has a 6ft SSE swell with an 11-second period, but the wind is light and variable with a slight ripple. Not a classic. Sunday the 13th is small and clean in the morning at 4ft, but the wind shifts onshore in the afternoon. Monday the 14th is very small, 3ft, with a long 12-second period but clean.

Now, the big news. The 18th of September is a monster. Friday the 18th shows a 16ft swell from the S with a 12-second period, and the energy is off the charts (12551). The wind is offshore and clean, but this is way too big. Only for the hardcore. The 19th of September is still huge, 8ft SSE with a 12-second period, glassy, and excellent for experienced surfers. The energy is strong (2140). This is another standout window, but again, expert-only.

The 20th and 21st taper off with 6ft and 3ft swells, but the winds get messy again.

So, the best on offer: Friday morning, 11th September, with clean 7ft S swell and light cross-offshore wind. That’s your pick for the first week. For the second week, the Saturday morning of the 19th is a glassy, powerful 8ft SSE swell, but it’s expert-only. The Sunday morning of the 20th is also worth a look with a 6ft SSE swell and a long 13-second period, but be aware – it’s often crowded here.
