The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the only spot on the menu.
We’re looking at Kiddies Corner for the next couple of weeks. Water temp is about 65°F, which is normal for the season, so no wild changes there. The first few days are a dud. Thursday the 3rd is onshore and weak, so leave the board in the car. There’s a dry spell until Friday the 4th morning, which is where things get interesting.
Friday the 4th morning is your best bet. It’s glassy – calm wind from the west at just 3 mph – and we’ve got a 4ft south swell with a clean 11-second period. The combined energy is 345, and the forecast says “expect good surf conditions.” For a beginner-friendly break, this is about as good as it gets around here. Swell direction isn’t a perfect match for the optimum southeast, but with those glassy conditions, you’ll be laughing.
After that, it’s patchy. Sunday the 6th afternoon brings a 5ft swell but with messy cross-onshore wind and a long 12-second period that’ll make it close out on a beach setup. Monday the 7th has a couple of clean windows with 4ft south swell, but nothing special.
Now, watch out for Tuesday the 8th morning – a 10ft south swell with a massive 2319 energy reading. That’s way too big for this spot. Expert-only territory, and even then, it’s raw with cross-offshore wind. Stay away unless you’ve got a death wish.
Friday the 11th morning is another glassy session – 4ft south swell, 12-second period, energy of 475. It’s clean, but not as strong as that Friday the 4th.
Into the second week, it’s slim pickings. A tiny 2ft swell on the 13th with a super long 18-second period is barely a ripple. Then the 18th rolls around with another 10ft monster (energy of 3301), again too big for Kiddies.
So, the winner is Friday the 4th morning at Kiddies Corner. Glassy, fun, and the only real standout in the whole outlook. The rest is either too small, too windy, or too heavy.
Rusty.
