The Lowdown
Right, Kiddies Corner is our only option on the table right now. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, fairly consistent, exposed to swell from the south-east. The water’s sitting at about 64°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year, nothing unusual there.
The first half of this week is a bit of a write-off. Monday the 10th is a no-go – we’ve got a solid 6ft ENE swell (energy 477), but that nasty north-northwest wind at 22 mph is just ripping across it, leaving it choppy and messy. It’s not worth paddling out. The next few days up to Thursday the 13th are a mixed bag, with some clean windows but nothing that'll get you truly fired up. On Tuesday the 11th afternoon, there’s a late save: a 4ft south swell with a decent 12-second period (energy 517) and a light westerly offshore wind at 6 mph. The waves will be clean, with some good shape, and it should be fun for a longboard or a fish if you can get out after work.
The standout window in this whole run is Thursday the 13th morning. You’ve got a 6ft south swell (energy 627) – that’s the biggest energy of the period – with a south-west breeze at 9 mph that is cross-offshore. It’ll be clean. That swell height is right at the upper limit for beginners, so if you’re less experienced, treat it with respect. For anyone comfortable in bigger surf, this is the best bang for your buck over the next two weeks.
Friday the 14th morning is tidy enough: a 4ft south swell with light offshore wind, but it’s nothing special. Then we hit a long, flat, or poor patch. Saturday the 15th through Monday the 17th is a total mess with onshore winds or tiny, weak swell.
After that, there’s a few mornings that look promising but are a gamble. On Thursday the 20th morning, the wind goes glassy with a 4ft east-southeast swell (energy 218) – that’s a real low-energy wave, more of a small, clean grovel. Saturday the 22nd morning and Sunday the 23rd morning both have glassy conditions again, with a 3-4ft east-northeast swell (period 10 seconds, energy 253-287). The period is good, the swell direction isn’t ideal for this spot (optimum is SE, not ENE), but when it’s glassy, you can’t knock it. Those are your second week looks – less certain this far out, but worth checking the tide.
Overall, if you’re after the best clean surf, set your alarm for Thursday morning the 13th. If you miss that, the glassy mornings in the second week are your only real bet, but keep the expectations mellow.
