Alright, Rusty here.

We’ve got a single spot on the radar for the next 16 days: Kiddies Corner. The outlook kicks off Friday, July 10th, with a solid pulse of swell. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing weird going on there.

Friday morning, July 10th, we’re looking at a clean 6ft swell from the southeast, with a period of 10 seconds. That’s a nice, punchy groundswell. The wind is a light cross-offshore, keeping things tidy. The combined energy is strong (520). This is a standout for the break – very good surf conditions for a beginner-friendly spot. By Friday afternoon, it gets even better: the wind goes glassy, dead calm, and the swell is still a clean 5ft. The energy is even stronger (543). This is the best window of the whole forecast for Kiddies Corner. Clean, glassy, and consistent.

Saturday morning, July 11th, drops a little to 4ft, still clean with a cross-offshore breeze. Still a fun, manageable size. Saturday afternoon goes downhill fast with a cross-on wind and a short, weak period, so don’t bother.

Sunday, July 12th, the swell drops to 2ft and smaller, but the wind goes offshore – clean but small. The energy is weak (100). Not worth paddling out for.

Monday, July 13th, through Thursday, July 16th, is mostly flat or tiny – 2ft down to 0.3ft. The energy is very low (41 down to 11). There’s a gap of several days with no real surf to recommend.

Then, on Wednesday, July 15th afternoon, things get wild. An 12ft swell from the south with a short period of 9 seconds and a strong cross-off wind. The energy is massive (1952). But this is way too big for Kiddies Corner – it’s a beginner break. The file says it's too big for this break. This is expert-only territory, and even then, the short period makes it messy.

Thursday, July 16th, through Sunday, July 19th, is all oversized – 12ft to 18ft swells from the south and southeast. The energy numbers are enormous (1915 to 16477). The wind is sometimes cross-off, sometimes cross. Again, all too big for this spot. Not for the average surfer.

Monday, July 20th, the swell finally drops back to a manageable 6ft from the southeast, with a clean offshore wind. The energy is strong (677). This is the second real standout of the forecast. Tuesday, July 21st, is still good at 4ft, but then it fades out again.

After that, from Wednesday, July 22nd, to Friday, July 24th, it’s mostly small or onshore junk. Then on Saturday, July 25th, another big pulse hits: 10ft from the south with a long 12-second period. The energy is huge (3214), but again, it’s too big for Kiddies Corner.

So, to sum it up: the best bet is Friday, July 10th, especially the afternoon glass-off. That’s your golden window. Monday, July 20th, is also a solid call. The rest of the time is either flat, too big, or blown out. Kiddies Corner is a beginner-friendly spot, so stick to the smaller, cleaner days.

Rusty out.

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.
