Kiddies Corner Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Kiddies Corner for the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a slow start, but there’s a real standout session later on. The first chance to paddle out is Sunday the 13th, but it’s nothing flash. A small 3ft south swell with a 9-second period, light cross-breeze from the NNE at 6 mph. The wave energy is weak, and the conditions are marginal. Not worth rushing out.

Monday the 14th is similar – a 2ft south swell with a longer 11-second period, but the wind is cross-onshore and choppy. Tuesday the 15th morning might offer a clean little wave with a 2ft swell from the ENE and a light cross-offshore breeze, but the period is short and the energy is very weak. It’s surfable, but very ordinary.

Now, Wednesday the 16th morning brings a massive jump. A 10ft south swell with a 9-second period. The wind is clean and cross-offshore from the SSW at 19 mph, but mate, that’s way too big for this spot. The combined energy is pumping (1344), and it’s too big for this break. This is for experts only, and Kiddies Corner isn’t the spot. Wednesday afternoon and Thursday the 17th are the same – huge, powerful swells (12ft and 10ft) with strong energy (2589 and 1416), but just too much for a beginner-friendly wave.

The first real highlight is Friday the 18th morning. The swell drops to a nice 4ft from the south, period of 9 seconds, with moderate energy (394). And the wind? Glassy – flat calm from the NNW at 3 mph. This is the session you want. Clean, glassy waves.

Saturday the 19th morning is another good one. A 3ft swell from the ESE with a long 11-second period, and again, glassy conditions with a light WNW breeze at 3 mph. Energy is moderate (455). The longer period gives the waves some shape, but at a beach break like this, it might break a bit straight. Still, clean is clean.

After that, it falls away. Sunday the 20th has tiny 1ft leftovers with offshore wind, but the energy is near zero. Monday the 21st is messy with onshore wind and a short-period 3ft swell. There’s a big jump again on Tuesday the 22nd with a 8ft south swell, but the period is short and the wind is cross-onshore – choppy and poor.

Into the second week, things go quiet. The standout from the horizon is Saturday the 26th morning. A 5ft swell from the NE with a 7-second period, but the wind is cross-offshore from the NNW at 6 mph and conditions are clean. Energy is moderate (322). It’s a solid option, but the short period keeps it from being top quality. Sunday the 27th is small and clean but very weak.

All up, the best windows are Friday the 18th and Saturday the 19th mornings – both glassy with clean surf in the 3–4ft range. The huge stuff mid-week (16th–17th) is for pros only, and even then, not at this break. The long-range option on the 26th is promising but less certain, so keep an eye.

Rusty.
