The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s run through what’s shaping up.
We’re starting off slow at Kiddies Corner. The first couple of days are no good – Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th of July are blown out with cross-onshore winds and messy, choppy surf. The swell is small, only about 1ft to 2ft, and the energy is weak. Not worth paddling out.
The real window is Monday the 20th of July. Monday morning is glassy, dead calm, with a 2ft easterly swell at 10 seconds. That’s clean, with moderate energy. It’s a beginner break, so it’s perfect for a fun, easy session. Get in early before the wind shifts onshore in the afternoon.
After Monday, it drops off. Tuesday is small with cross-shore winds. Wednesday and Thursday are clean but tiny – 0.6ft to 0.9ft, low energy. Friday morning the 24th offers a clean 1ft southerly swell with light offshore winds, which is nice but not a standout.
From Saturday the 25th through to Thursday the 30th of July, it’s a flat spell. Waves are often under 0.6ft, with weak energy. A few clean moments but nothing to ride.
Then on Friday the 31st of July, a big south swell hits – 3ft at 13 seconds, very long period. The energy is huge. Winds are offshore and glassy in the morning. But this is way too big for Kiddies Corner – it’s a beginner spot, and 3ft is overhead. Only experts should even consider it. Saturday the 1st of August brings another 3ft south swell, but with cross-shore winds and rain. Sunday the 2nd of August sees a 4ft south swell – huge, but again too big for the break and messy winds.
Your best bet is Monday morning the 20th of July – glassy, clean, 2ft easterly swell. That’s the one. Everything else is either too small, too windy, or too big for the spot.
Rusty.

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.

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.
