The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up for Kiddies Corner.
First off, water temperature is sitting at 65°F with an anomaly of 0.5°F, so right where you’d expect for this time of year – nothing crazy.
We’ve got a pretty slow start. The first recommendation pops up on Wednesday the 22nd of July, with some clean 3ft swell from the ENE and a light cross-off breeze. It’s not huge, but with that 10-second period and light wind, it’ll be a fun, easy roll for a beginner board. The energy is moderate (226). Wednesday afternoon goes glassy but drops a touch in size.
Thursday the 23rd stays clean and small, with offshore wind in the morning and a stronger offshore in the arvo, but the swell is only 2ft to 2ft – real cruisy, nothing to get excited about.
Then things start to pick up. Friday the 24th morning sees a jump to 5ft from the S, moderate energy (386), and clean conditions. That’s a nice little window. But the standout is definitely Saturday the 25th of July. Saturday morning we’ve got 5ft S swell with an 11-second period, pure offshore wind from the W, and the energy is strong (538). That’s the best of the run – clean, punchy, and consistent. Saturday afternoon stays glassy with 4ft, so you’ve got a full day of quality.
Sunday the 26th keeps the run going – 5ft S swell in the morning, 11-second period, offshore wind, and very strong energy (594). That’s another top session.
After that, it tapers off. Monday the 27th is still surfable but ordinary. From Tuesday the 28th through to the end of the month, it gets small and weak – under 2ft, poor conditions, choppy onshores. A real flat spell sets in.
There’s roughly a gap of no worthwhile surf from the 28th of July through to the 3rd of August. Then on the 4th of August, a huge swell arrives – 12ft on Tuesday morning, building to a massive 21ft by Wednesday the 5th. The energy numbers are massive (3325 up to 23027), but this is way too big for Kiddies Corner. It’s expert-only, and even then, the break can’t handle it. The Wednesday sessions have clean offshore wind, but it’s just too much water moving for a beginner-friendly spot. Same story on Thursday the 6th.
Best on offer: Without a doubt, Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th of July are your days. Saturday morning with 5ft S swell, offshore wind, and strong energy – that’s as good as it gets in this run. Sunday is equally solid with 5ft.
Rusty, signing off.
