The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
First off, we’re looking at a pretty quiet stretch for Kiddies Corner. The surf is tiny and the conditions are mostly average, so we’re in for a bit of a wait. The best window is going to be the second weekend, with a couple of mornings that are actually worth getting excited about.
The water temp is sitting at 64° right now, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so you won’t need a thick suit.
The first real glimmer of hope comes in on Monday morning, the 10th of August. The swell picks up to 4ft from the ENE, and with a strong offshore wind from the WNW at 25 mph, the surface will be clean. But the wind is strong, making it a bit of a battle to get out. The combined energy is moderate (267). It’s a surfable option, but not the standout.
The first real standout is Tuesday morning, the 11th of August. We’ve got 4ft of S swell with a 9-second period, and light offshore wind from the WNW at 6 mph. The combined energy is solid (225), and the conditions are clean. This is the best of the first week, but it’s a small window.
After that, things go flat and windy again until the second week.
Now, the big one. Saturday morning, the 15th of August, is the true highlight. The swell is 5ft from the S, period 10 seconds, and light offshore wind from the SW at 9 mph. The combined energy is strong (521), and the conditions are clean. This is the best surf on offer in the whole 16 days. It’s solid enough for good waves but not too big for a confident intermediate. The crowd profile is “often”, so expect a few others in the water.
The following morning, Sunday the 16th, is a step down but still worth a look. Swell drops to 3ft from the S, but the wind is still offshore from the SW at 19 mph. The energy is moderate (198), and it’s clean. It’s a decent option if you missed Saturday.
The very end of the forecast period, Friday morning the 21st of August, shows a glassy 3ft S swell with a long 11-second period, and combined energy of 282. That’s a promising one for the grovel boards, but being so far out, it’s less certain.
Overall, the second week is where it’s at. The first week is mostly small and choppy, so don’t get your hopes up until the 11th. The real standout is the 15th.
Rusty.
