The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s talk about what’s ahead in feet and knots.
The first few days are a write-off. Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th are tiny, chopped up, and just not worth the hassle. There’s a gap of a couple of days with no real surf worth paddling for.
The first proper sign of life shows up on Monday the 7th. Kiddies Corner gets a clean 5ft south swell, and the wind goes dead calm – glassy as it gets. Water temp is about 65°, which is pretty normal for this time of year. It’s a small one, but with that wind, it’ll be a dream for the beginners. Energy is moderate at 387.
Tuesday the 8th sees the swell jump to 8ft from the SSE, but the wind is cross-shore and messy. The energy is strong at 1008, but it’s a lumpy, choppy affair. Wednesday the 9th morning cleans up with a 5ft swell and cross-offshore wind, giving you a nice window of clean waves.
The real standout is the 11th and 12th. Friday the 11th morning has a solid 6ft south swell, light cross-offshore wind, and very good conditions. Energy is strong at 806. Then Saturday the 12th morning is my absolute top pick – 5ft of south swell, glassy, with a 11-second period. That’s proper groundswell with shape and power. Energy is still strong at 639. It’ll be clean, lined up, and perfect.
After that, the swell drops off into the middle of the week, with smaller, clean waves on the 14th and 15th if you’re itching for a paddle. But the big story is the second week. From Wednesday the 16th, we get a massive pulse – 12ft from the south with a 12-13 second period. The energy numbers are huge, like 6132 and 3854. But for Kiddies Corner, that’s way too big. The forecasts say it’s just too much for this break. Only experts should even look at it, and even then it’s a beast.
So, to sum it up: the best bet is the morning of Friday the 11th and especially Saturday the 12th. Clean, glassy, solid groundswell. The big stuff later is impressive but not for the average surfer.
Rusty out.
