Kiddies Corner Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks.

We’re dialing into Kiddies Corner, and straight off the bat, the first few days are a bit of a mixed bag. Saturday morning kicks things off with a clean 5ft swell from the SSE, periods around 9 seconds, and light offshore wind from the west. The water's sitting at 65°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year – nothing to write home about. The energy is moderate, sitting at (396). It’s a decent start, but nothing mind-blowing.

Sunday morning sees the swell drop a touch to 5ft, but the period stretches to 11 seconds, giving it a bit more push and shape. The wind is a light cross-shore from the north, so it’ll be a bit lined up but not pristine. The energy jumps up to (719), which is a solid moderate pulse. Afternoon on Sunday goes downhill fast with a cross-onshore breeze, so don’t bother with that.

The real standout in this whole run is Friday the 7th of August, in the morning. We’ve got a clean 6ft swell from the south, 9-second period, with light offshore cross-off wind from the southwest. The water is clean, and the energy is strong at (544). This is the best combo of size, wind, and conditions in the first week. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, but that swell size is right on the edge of being too much for total newbies – still very doable for anyone with a bit of time in the water.

Another one to keep an eye on, though it’s further out, is Wednesday the 12th of August, afternoon. The swell bumps up to 7ft from the south, but the period is a short 7 seconds, so it’ll be a bit lumpy and less organized. The wind is light and cross-off, so it’ll be clean on the face. The energy is solid at (523). It’s a good option, but that short period means it won’t have the same punch as the Friday session.

Into the second week, things get a bit heavy. Thursday the 13th of August, afternoon sees a 10ft swell from the southeast with an 8-second period. That’s big, and the energy is massive at (1209). The wind is cross-off and clean, but honestly, this is too big for Kiddies Corner – it’s only for experts if anyone’s brave enough. Same goes for Friday the 14th morning, with another 10ft swell and even more energy (1222). The weekend after that (the 15th and 16th) stays big, with 8ft to 8ft swells, but the wind gets stronger, making it a bit of a battle. The setup might actually be more interesting for kite surfers than paddle surfing on those days.

Overall, Friday morning the 7th is the clear winner. The Wednesday the 12th afternoon is a solid backup. The rest of the run is either too small, too windy, or too big for this break.
