The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty checkin’ in from the coast. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a solid run of surf on the way, but the standout is gonna be the first weekend. The swell is rolling in from the S, and for a beginner-friendly spot like Kiddies Corner, we’re looking at some clean, fun waves. Saturday morning the 25th of July, we’ve got a 6 ft S swell with a nice 11-second period. The wind is offshore from the west at 9 mph, keepin’ it clean. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothin’ crazy there. The combined energy of all swells is sittin’ at 714, which is a decent push. That’s the best of the whole window – glassy and lined up for a long session.
Saturday afternoon the wind drops to glassy, and the swell eases a touch to 4 ft, also from the S, with a 10-second period. Still good, but the morning is the pick.
Sunday the 26th of July, the morning ramps up a bit – 6 ft S swell, 11-second period, and a cross-off breeze from the WSW at 9 mph. The combined energy is 781, a little more grunt. It’ll be clean and fun, but the afternoon gets choppy with a cross-on wind, so get out early.
Monday the 27th of July, the glassy morning delivers a smaller 4 ft S swell, 9-second period, and the energy drops to 207. It’s a mellow, clean session for the beginners or a longboard. The afternoon turns into a write-off with onshore wind.
After that, there’s a real dry spell. From Tuesday the 28th of July all the way through to Friday the 7th of August, the swell drops to knee-high or less, and the winds are mostly messy. A few clean mornings pop up, but the waves are tiny – 1.0 ft to 2 ft. The energy is barely a whisper, in the 17 to 94 range. It’s not worth wettin’ a wetsuit for, unless you just want to paddle around.
Now, hold on to your board. Saturday the 8th of August, the forecast is throwin’ a massive 20 ft S swell with a 12-second period, and the combined energy is a whopping 10,825. That’s a monster. But – and this is a big but – it’s way too big for Kiddies Corner. The wind is offshore, the conditions are clean, but that swell is for experts only, and even then, this break just can’t handle it. Same goes for the afternoon at 18 ft, and Sunday the 9th of August with a 15 ft SE swell. Unless you’re a pro or have a death wish, sit this one out.
So, bottom line: the best surf is this coming Saturday morning, the 25th of July, at Kiddies Corner. Get it while it’s glassy and clean. The rest of the two weeks is a bust for the most part, with a massive but unsurfable swell at the end.
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. If you surf the same spot (Kiddies Corner) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
