The Lowdown
Alright, surf is looking a bit all over the place for Kiddies Corner for the next couple of weeks, so let’s break it down.
The first couple of days are a write-off, honestly. Tuesday the 8th is a mess with a cross-shore breeze and lumpy conditions, not worth paddling out. Wednesday the 9th has a tiny window in the morning with some clean 3.3ft waves from the south, but the afternoon turns to junk with strong onshore winds. Don’t get too excited.
The real tease comes Thursday the 10th. We’ve got a big 9.8ft south swell rolling in with clean conditions, and the energy is strong (2529). But that’s just too much water moving for this spot – it’s going to be a washing machine. This one is for experts only, and even then, it might be a paddle battle.
After that, the surf drops right back down. Friday the 11th has a bit of clean 6.6ft swell in the morning, but it lacks that punch. Saturday morning the 12th is the standout of the first week – glassy conditions with a clean 4.3ft south-southeast swell, perfect for the beginner-friendly vibe here. It’s small but pure. The rest of the weekend and into next week is mostly small, weak, and messy, with the swell dropping to under 3ft from the 13th through the 18th. The energy just isn’t there.
There’s a small pulse of energy around the 19th and 20th from the northeast, but it’s short-period and the winds are mostly onshore, so it’s not going to deliver much. The week after that looks pretty bleak – tiny waves, cross-shore breezes, and very little power.
So, bottom line: the best bet is Saturday the 12th in the morning – clean, glassy, and small, perfect for the beginners and longboarders. If you’re more experienced, you might get a look at Friday the 11th morning, but it’s nothing special. The rest of the outlook is pretty quiet, with a lot of flat days. It’s one of those stretches where you’ve gotta pick your moment, and that moment is Saturday morning.
