Alright, let's get into it for Kiddies Corner. This is a consistent beginner-friendly wave that likes swell from the SE.
Water temp is around 66°F, so normal for the season.
We gotta ride out a rough few days first. Tuesday the 7th is blown out. Swell is a big 12 ft from the SSE with a combined energy of 4482 (very strong). Wind is 16 mph from the SSW. Too big and too messy. Afternoon is no better.
Wednesday the 8th is smaller but still no good. Thursday the 9th is the first real chance you get. Swell drops to 6 ft from the SE, and the wind goes glassy – dead calm. That’s your window. Clean, friendly surf. Combined energy is a moderate 781 in the morning and 598 in the afternoon. Small but perfect.
Friday the 10th onward stays under 5 ft with clean, light winds. Not epic, but rideable for a beginner. By Sunday the 12th, the swell drops to nothing – under 2 ft. Energy is in the double digits (92, then 40). It’s flat.
There’s a long stretch of tiny, ordinary surf from the 13th through the 18th. Nothing worth paddling out for. Then, on Thursday the 16th of July, a new swell shows up: 7 ft from the S with a 14-second period. Energy jumps to 1868. That’s a strong groundswell, but it’s big for this break. Winds are cross-off, so it’ll be clean, but that size is only for the experienced. Still over a week away, so not locked in.
Best bet is Thursday the 9th. Glassy, clean 6 ft SE swell. That’s the standout.
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.
