Kiddies Corner Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, Saturday morning, July 4th, looks alright for the beginners. Kiddies Corner has a clean 4ft south swell with a proper 11-second groundswell period and a light offshore breeze from the WNW. The water’s sitting at 67°, which is pretty normal for this time of year. The combined energy is moderate (367), so it won’t be a powerhouse, but it’s a nice little window for a learner to get some clean, fun waves.

Now, hold on to your boardshorts, because Sunday, July 5th, things get heavy. That south swell jumps to a solid 10ft, with the same long period, and the wind is cross-off from the SSW. The combined energy rockets to (2034), which is strong, but the honest truth is that Kiddies Corner isn’t built for this kind of power. It’s simply too big for the spot, so unless you’re a masochist charging a washing machine, this is one to watch from the sand. Monday the 6th and Tuesday the 7th stay in that same oversized range, 8ft to 10ft, with onshore and cross-off winds mixing things up. The energy stays furious (1143 to 4068), but it’s just too much for this break.

There’s a bit of a downer stretch from about Wednesday the 8th through the following week. Swell drops back, but we get a messy mix of cross-shore winds and iffy conditions. The waves are too small and jumbled to bother with. For several days it’s just not worth paddling out.

Now, Friday the 10th of July is the real standout. Kiddies Corner wakes up with a clean 7ft south-southeast groundswell (11 seconds), light offshore from the WSW, and the combined energy is solid at (1089). This is for the experienced crew—excellent conditions with power and shape. Then Friday afternoon turns glassy with a 7ft swell and that NE breeze dropping to almost nothing. That afternoon window is a gem: glassy, clean, decent size. Don’t miss it.

After that, the surf fades significantly, dropping below three feet for most of the second week. The weekend of the 11th and 12th is small and tricky, and by the 13th to the 15th it’s barely a ripple The period gets weirdly (18-21 seconds) on the 15th, but the wave heights are tiny—0.7ft to 1.0ft That long period on a tiny swell just makes for straight at a beach break not much fun A spike shows up on Thursday the 16th with a 5ft south swell but the wind goes cross-shore in the afternoon so morning is the move

Then we get an explosive finish On Saturday the 18th the afternoon shows a 8ft south swell going offshore with moderate energy (1148) That’s a serious session for advanced surfers And on Sunday the 19th it goes outright giant with a 15ft south swell from the south and clean offshore winds The combined energy is maxing out at (5047) That is expert territory only and even then Kiddies Corner is going to be a washing machine Only for the brave

So to sum it up the pick of the whole forecast is Friday the 10th of July with the morning offshore and afternoon glassy sessions That’s your window The rest is either too small too big or too messy

Stay safe keep your eyes on the horizon and I’ll see you in the water
