The Lowdown
Right then, let's get into it. This is a look at the next couple of weeks for Kiddies Corner.
We've got a bit of a mixed bag ahead, but there are definitely some windows of clean surf to get excited about. The first few days are a write-off, but once we get past that, the swell kicks in and the conditions line up for some proper sessions.
The first real chance to get wet comes on Thursday, 28 August. Friday morning, the 28th, is looking absolutely magic. The swell is a solid 5.2ft from the SSE with a period of 11 seconds, which is a nice groundswell. The wind is glassy, so Kiddies Corner will be looking like a sheet of glass. The combined energy is 662 (moderate), so there's plenty of push. This is the standout session of the first week. Perfect for a beginner-friendly wave.
Then we have Monday, 31 August. Another absolute cracker. The morning sees a 2.9ft SSE swell, but the period is a massive 17 seconds. That's serious groundswell energy, and the combined energy is 672 (moderate). The wind is dead calm, glassy. The only thing to be aware of with that long period is it can make the waves a bit too straight at a beach break, but Kiddies Corner is fairly consistent, so it should still offer up some nice lines. This is the other standout.
After that, the surf drops off a bit. Tuesday, 1 September has clean 3.3ft swell with a cross-offshore wind, so that's a good, fun session. Then the energy fades through the first week of September, with small, clean but weak waves. There's a big gap from Wednesday, 3 September through Saturday, 6 September, where the swell is either tiny or messy.
On Sunday, 6 September, the swell picks up again. The morning has a 6.9ft S swell with a cross-offshore wind. That's a bit of a chunky wave, but it's still clean. The energy is 544 (moderate). Then on Monday, 7 September, the morning is glassy with a 3.9ft S swell. Nice and clean.
The biggest wave of the outlook comes on Thursday, 10 September. The morning has a 7.2ft S swell, but it's a short period of 8 seconds. The wind is cross-offshore and it's clean, with a combined energy of 649 (moderate). For a beginner spot, anything over 4.9ft is getting big. At 7.2ft, it's only for the more experienced crew. For the confident surfers, this is a solid, clean day.
