The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into the local forecast for Kiddies Corner. The next 16 days are looking a bit flat and inconsistent for the most part, with a few notable windows of good, clean swell if you’re patient.
The outlook starts off slow. A weak, short-period swell from the ESE is on the cards from Tuesday the 4th through the first week, but it’s tiny at only 1ft and the energy is feeble (36). The water temp is sitting at 64°, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there. The best part of the first week will be the glassy, offshore mornings – like Wednesday the 5th morning with a 1ft east swell and 9 mph offshore wind. But honestly, with that size, you’re really just bobbing around. The combined energy (38) is weak. It’s not worth getting excited about.
The real interest starts to build around the second week. The standout period is Thursday the 13th and Friday the 14th. On Thursday the 13th morning, Kiddies Corner gets a nice 5ft south swell, 9-second period, with a gentle 9 mph offshore wind from the west. The water is clean, and the energy is strong (425). That’s a solid session for a beginner-friendly spot. Then Friday the 14th morning is the absolute highlight of the whole run. We’re looking at a 8ft south swell with a 11-second period, light 6 mph cross-offshore wind, and the combined energy is massive (2991). That’s powerful, clean surf. The swell direction (S) isn’t a perfect match for Kiddies Corner’s optimum (SE), but the quality and conditions are too good to ignore. The water is still clean, and the crowds are often here, so expect company. This is a morning for experienced surfers only – 8ft is too big for beginners.
After that, the swell drops off quickly. Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th see a messy, onshore wind and short-period chop, with the swell dropping to 4ft on Saturday and then 4ft on Sunday. The energy drops fast (421 down to 239). The surf is poor. Another small window opens Monday the 17th morning with a glassy 4ft east-southeast swell, but it’s short period (8 seconds) and the energy is moderate (202). It’s clean, but not a standout.
The very last day in the window, Wednesday the 19th morning, looks promising again. A 7ft southeast swell, 10-second period, with a light 6 mph cross-offshore wind from the north-northwest. The energy is strong (815) and the conditions are clean. That’s a good session, but it’s a long way out – so keep an eye on it.
So, to sum it up: the first week is mostly flat and uninspiring. The best bets are the Thursday the 13th morning and Friday the 14th morning, with the Friday morning being the true standout – powerful, clean, and offshore. If you’re a beginner, stick to Thursday the 13th. If you’re experienced, aim for Friday the 14th. The rest is a mix of small, short-period slop and onshore chop.
Stay stoked, and I’ll see you out there.
