Right, let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line. Straight off the bat, the early days are a bit grim – tiny swell and messy conditions. The first real chance of getting a wave is on Saturday morning, July 4th, at Kiddies Corner.

Kiddies Corner is a beginner spot, breaks fairly consistently and is exposed to the swell. That Saturday morning, the 4th, we’re looking at a clean 4ft swell from the south with an 11-second period, and the wave energy is moderate at 312. The wind is offshore from the west at only 3 mph, so it’ll be glassy clean. Water temp is 67°, which is about average for the year. The afternoon gets a bit grotty with a cross-onshore breeze.

Come Sunday the 5th, the swell jumps to 10ft from the south, period 11 seconds, and the energy is a massive 1811. That is not for beginners – that’s expert territory, and even the forecast says it’s too big for this spot. A real bummer. The rest of that week is dominated by big, clean swells, all over 7ft, with a strong offshore wind from the southwest at 12-19 mph. The energy numbers are huge – 2389, 2501 – but the size is just too much for Kiddies Corner to handle well. This goes on until about the 9th of July.

The real standout is Tuesday, July 14th. That morning, Kiddies Corner gets a 8ft south swell with a very long 12-second period and combined energy of 1447. The wind is offshore from the west at a gentle 9 mph, so expect clean, powerful faces. This is groundswell for experienced surfers only. The longer period means better shape, more energy, and longer waits between sets. The afternoon blows up to 12ft, which is too big.

From the 15th onward, the swell drops but the wind howls from the southwest at 19 mph, making a mess of things. The final few days are a total write-off with poor surf and strong wind. There's a solid gap of no good surfing from the 15th to the end of the outlook.

So, for the learners, that Saturday morning the 4th is your window. For the crew who can handle some size, the morning of Tuesday the 14th is the one to circle – just know the break and respect the power.

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.

Kiddies Corner is 17 km (11 miles) from the city of Dee Why. If you plan a holiday in Sydney North Coast, look for hotels and other accommodation in Dee Why. Dee Why has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
