The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Kiddies Corner over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, the first few days are pretty flat. Tuesday the 14th has almost no swell to speak of – just a tiny 0.3ft to 0.7ft south swell with a long period, but the energy is basically nothing (14). So, we’re looking at a gap of at least a couple of days with nothing worth paddling out for.
Things start to wake up on Wednesday the 15th. We get a decent pulse of swell, hitting 8ft from the south. That’s a solid size, but the period is a short 9 to 10 seconds, so it won’t have that same grunt. Combined energy is moderate to strong (1029 to 1212). The issue is the cross-off wind from the SSW at 15 mph. It’s clean, but that wind direction isn’t ideal. This is more of a look for experienced surfers only; 8ft is no joke for a beginner. The water temp is around 65°F, which is pretty average for this time of year.
Thursday the 16th stays similar with 7ft from the south, but the wind gets a bit stronger and swings cross-shore, making it messy by the afternoon. The quality drops off.
We then hit another quiet spell. Friday the 17th through Tuesday the 22nd sees a lot of small, weak waves (3ft to 4ft) with a mix of onshore and cross-onshore winds. The energy is low, mostly under 300. There’s not a lot to get excited about here, just a few small clean windows.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Thursday the 23rd is a standout. The morning session at Kiddies Corner brings a 5ft easterly swell with a very long period of 13 seconds. That’s proper groundswell. Combined energy is strong (907). What makes it special is the glassy conditions – a light offshore from the WNW at just 3 mph. That wind is going to have the waves peeling nicely, especially for a beginner-friendly spot like this. The long period means it’ll be a bit better shaped, but at a beach break it can sometimes straighten out. Still, with that wind, this is the best on offer.
Friday the 24th morning also looks good: 5ft east swell at 11 seconds, light cross-off from the WNW, and clean conditions. Another fine session, though the morning is the clear winner here – the afternoon gets a cross-onshore that messes it up.
After that, the end of the month turns a bit lumpy again. Saturday the 25th through Monday the 28th sees some size (5ft to 5ft) from the east and then south, but the winds get stronger and cross-shore, making it pretty choppy and unappealing for a clean ride. The energy is moderate (around 700 range), but the wind just isn't your friend.
Overall, the window is narrow. Wednesday the 15th is big but fickle. The real jackpot is Thursday the 23rd morning: clean, light offshores, and a long-period east swell. That’s your session. Keep an eye on Friday the 24th morning as a close second.
Stay stoked,
Rusty
