The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, and I’m looking at the next couple of weeks for Kiddies Corner. To be straight up with you, it’s a pretty quiet run for the most part. There’s a big gap of almost nothing worthwhile to paddle out for, but there are a couple of windows that get the heart beating a bit faster. The water temp is sitting around 64°, which is spot on for this time of year, so no wetsuit drama.
The first bit of hope comes on Thursday the 4th, September. Friday morning is the real standout early on – glassy conditions with the wind swinging north at just 3 mph, and a clean 3ft south swell rolling in. The period is a nice 11 seconds, so you’ll get some proper groundswell lines wrapping in, and the combined energy is moderate at 247. This is the pick of the first week for sure. Kiddies Corner is fairly consistent anyway, so that’s a bonus. Keep an eye out for crowds though, they can get on it when it’s this clean.
After that, it gets patchy. Thursday the 11th and into the next week is mostly a write-off with onshore winds and messy conditions. The swell sticks around but the wind just ruins it. There’s a long gap from the 12th through to the 15th where it’s pretty much not worth your board.
Then, hold onto your leash, because the 16th and 17th bring a real shift. Wednesday the 16th September morning has light offshore wind from the west at 6 mph, with 5ft east swell. That’s solid, but not too much for a capable surfer – still fine for intermediates, but beginners might find it a bit much. The period is 8 seconds, so it’s a shorter-period wind swell, but with clean offshore lines it’ll be fun. The combined energy is 377, moderate but with punch. Thursday the 17th offers similar energy, though the wind goes a bit cross. Still, the 16th is the second standout of the outlook – get on it if you can.
So, overall, not a huge amount of action, but Friday the 4th and Wednesday the 16th are your days. The rest is mostly ordinary or just plain poor. Forecasts can change though, so don’t write it off entirely.
Rusty.
