Kiddies Corner Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, grab your board, let’s talk about what’s cooking at Kiddies Corner. Over the next couple of weeks, it’s a real mixed bag—some quiet spells, a few decent windows, and one standout Sunday that’s got my attention.

Right now, the water temp is sitting about average for the time of year, nothing out of the ordinary. For the first few days, honestly, it’s pretty flat. From Sunday the 16th through Tuesday the 18th, we’ve got weak, short-period swell around 3ft to 5ft with poor, choppy conditions. The combined energy is low, mostly in the 146 to 314 range, and the wind is either cross-on or onshore. Not worth paddling out.

Then Wednesday morning the 19th, things start to look up. We get glassy conditions with a light offshore breeze, a 4ft SE swell at 7 seconds, and the combined energy hits 208. It’s not big, but it’s clean and rideable—perfect for beginners. That’s the first real highlight.

After that, from Thursday the 20th through Saturday the 22nd, the swell drops right back down below 3ft, energy falls under 100, and unless you like tiny, ordinary waves, it’s a skip. The wind is mostly cross-off or clean, but there’s just no push.

Now, here’s the big one. Sunday the 23rd morning, we’ve got a 10ft S swell rolling in with a 9-second period, combined energy of 2576—that’s strong wave energy, no doubt. The wind is glassy, the conditions are clean. But hear me now: that’s a lot of water for a beginner spot. This one’s for the experienced crew only. The swell size is too big for learners, and it could be a bit of a handful. Still, if you’ve got the skills, that Sunday morning is the standout of the whole outlook.

Monday the 24th through Wednesday the 26th, the swell drops to a more manageable 4ft to 6ft, with clean to offshore winds. The combined energy ranges from 262 to 667, moderate to strong. The wind is cross-off or offshore, the waves are clean, and the period stretches to 9-12 seconds by Wednesday, which means better shaped, more powerful waves. Those are good days for intermediate surfers.

Thursday the 27th keeps it clean with a 4ft SSE swell and offshore winds, but by Friday the 28th, the energy drops off again, and we’re back to small, weak surf. The final weekend (29th-31st) looks very ordinary—tiny swell, poor conditions, not worth chasing.

So, the best on offer? Sunday the 23rd morning for the experienced crew—big, glassy, and powerful. Otherwise, Wednesday the 19th morning is your best bet for a clean, fun session on smaller waves.
