Table - best surf conditions forecast for Kiddies Corner over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cookin’ for Kiddies Corner over the next couple of weeks.
First off, we gotta be patient. The next few days are a bit of a write-off. Sunday the 12th has a tiny 3ft swell from the ESE with a clean offshore wind, but the wave energy is weak (128) and the score is just not there. Monday and Tuesday are even smaller, with hardly any energy to speak of. We’re looking at a dead stretch until Wednesday the 15th, when a pulse of 8ft swell from the S arrives, but it’s got a short period of 8 seconds and a cross-off wind. The energy is moderate (727), but the quality is marginal. Not worth paddling out for.
The real action starts to build towards the end of the week and into the next. Saturday the 18th morning shows promise: a 7ft ESE swell with a light cross-off breeze, clean conditions, and moderate energy (783). That’s a nice little window for a session.
But the standout is Sunday the 19th. That morning, Kiddies Corner is looking like a gem. We’ve got a solid 8ft swell from the E with a long period of 11 seconds, and the wind is glassy – dead calm. The combined energy is strong (2373) and the call is for excellent surf for experienced surfers. At this size, with that period, it’s a groundswell that will wrap in nicely, but it’s too big for beginners. For the crew who can handle it, this is the best on offer. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Monday the 20th keeps it going with a cleaner 6ft ESE swell and gentle offshore winds, giving you very good conditions again. Tuesday the 21st morning is another standout: 8ft from the ESE with a very long period of 12 seconds, moderate offshore wind, and excellent surf for experienced surfers. The energy is strong (1525). That’s a proper session for the experts.
The following week tapers off. Thursday the 23rd morning has a clean 6ft ESE swell with light offshore wind, a good option. Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th offer fun, smaller waves in the 3ft to 4ft range with clean conditions. After that, Sunday the 26th and Monday the 27th drop right off into tiny, weak surf. So, your best bets are Sunday the 19th and Tuesday the 21st – don’t sleep on those.
Rusty out.

Information about the Kiddies Corner Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Kiddies Corner provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Kiddies Corner can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Kiddies Corner surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Kiddies Corner may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
