Kiddies Corner Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here, and I’ve got the lowdown on the coming days for Kiddies Corner. Let’s be real, the start of this run is pretty flat and ordinary. The pattern kicks off with barely any surf to speak of. Tuesday the 1st through to the end of the first week is mostly a write-off, with tiny, weak waves and only a few hours of so-so conditions. You’ll be looking at a lot of gaps with no real recommendations until we hit the second week.

The first real glimmer of hope comes on Tuesday the 8th of September. We’ve got a bump in swell to about 6ft coming from the NE, but it’s a short period wind swell at 8 seconds, so it’ll be a bit messy. The combined swell energy is moderate at 635, and with a light cross breeze, it’s worth a paddle for the die-hards. It won’t be a classic, but it’s the first sign of life.

The standout period is from the 10th to the 14th, but you need to be an expert to handle it. On Thursday the 10th, a big S swell pushes in at 10ft to 12ft with a barrel-chested energy level (2604 and 4552). The winds are clean, but this is for experienced surfers only. Friday the 11th sees it peak at a huge 17ft from the S with a very long 13-second period – that’s serious groundswell energy at 13657. That is flat-out too big and powerful for this spot and only for the seasoned crew who know how to handle a bomb set.

Once that monster passes, we get a sweet payoff. Saturday the 12th of September morning sees the swell drop to a much more manageable 6ft from the SSE, with light cross-offshore breezes. The energy is moderate at 488, and conditions are set to be clean. It’s a great window for anyone who can handle a solid head-high wave.

Then, the real diamond is Sunday the 13th and Monday the 14th. Sunday morning offers 4ft from the SE with a 10-second period, light cross-off winds, and combined energy at 495 – clean and fun. But Monday the 14th morning, that’s your call to arms. We get 4ft from the SE, super clean, and the wind is glassy. That is going to be smooth, lined-up, and perfect for this break. It’s one of those mornings where everything just comes together, and the Kiddies Corner banks will be offering some proper waves.

The water temp is sitting at about 64°F, which is basically normal for this time of year, so a spring suit is all you need.

Look, the first week is a write-off. But if you can hold out for that Sunday and Monday session on the 13th and 14th, you’ll be rewarded. The big stuff on the 10th and 11th is for experts only.

Rusty.
