The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk surf. This is Rusty, and I’m looking at the next couple of weeks.
The surf starts a bit slow, but the week ahead has some real gems. The standout is Kiddies Corner. This is a beginner-friendly break, but it picks up a lot of energy.
The best day is Saturday, July 25th. That morning, you’ll see a 5ft swell from the south with a 12-second period. The wind is offshore out of the west, and the conditions are clean. The combined energy is strong at 681. That’s a solid, powerful swell. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
Sunday, July 26th is still good. The morning has a 4ft south swell at 11 seconds, with clean cross-off winds. The energy drops to 330, but it’s still fun. Head out early before the onshore winds kick in.
Friday, July 31st is another standout. The morning has 4ft south swell at 10 seconds, with a clean offshore wind. The energy is 567. Then the afternoon gets really interesting: 3ft from the south-southeast, but the period jumps to 15 seconds. That’s a very long period groundswell. The wind is light offshore, and the energy is 646. This is a day for the more experienced crowd, as that long period can make the waves more powerful and lined up.
Saturday, August 1st (morning) has 4ft south-southeast swell at 14 seconds, with cross-off winds. The energy is a massive 987. That’s a very strong, clean swell. For a beginner spot, this is too big—it’s an expert-only day. Get out there early.
Monday, August 3rd is also a great call. The morning has 4ft south swell at 11 seconds, with a strong offshore wind. The energy is 685. The afternoon sees 4ft from the south-southeast with a 16-second period and offshore wind. Energy is 930. Again, this is big and powerful. Only for advanced surfers.
Through the rest of the week, the surf is smaller but still clean. The mornings of August 4th and 5th have 4ft to 4ft south swells, but the energy is lower (287-336). Still, with light winds, it’s worth a paddle.
The best windows are Saturday July 25th, the afternoon of Friday July 31st, and the morning of Monday August 3rd. The water is about average for the time of year. Crowds can be a factor at Kiddies Corner, especially on weekends, so get there early.
This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
