The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. We’ve got a solid run of surf lining up at Outside Corner, and it’s looking like a real treat for the experienced crew.
The overall pattern is a sustained pulse of strong, long-period SSW groundswell, with persistent offshore winds holding the face clean for most of the coming days. This isn’t a week for learners – the swell sits consistently over 5ft and often pushes over 8ft, so this is proper advanced territory. The water temp is sitting at 78°, right about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Wednesday August 12th kicks things off with 7ft of SSW swell at 17 seconds. That’s a long-period groundswell with serious energy. The ESE offshore breeze at 25 km/h will have it looking clean and lined up. This is excellent, but it’s just the warm-up.
The standout window starts Thursday August 13th and runs through Friday August 14th in the mornings. Thursday morning sees 8ft of SSW swell at 17 seconds, energy hitting 3894 – that’s powerful. Friday morning drops slightly to 7ft at 16 seconds, 2727 energy. Both mornings have that clean offshore wind. This is the best on offer: big, clean, consistent groundswell at a reef and point break that handles direction well. Expect some serious barrels for those with the skill. Crowds are possible here, so get in early.
Saturday August 15th keeps the quality high in the morning with 7ft at 17 seconds and offshore wind, but the afternoons turn to a cross-off breeze, which will put a bit of a bump on it.
Sunday 16th through Monday 17th sees the swell ease slightly to 5ft–7ft, but it stays clean with offshore winds. Still very good, just not the peak.
Then we get another strong pulse. Tuesday 18th picks up again to 6ft at 16 seconds, and Wednesday August 19th is a genuine standout: 8ft of SSW swell at 18 seconds in the morning, energy of 3456, and then 8ft from the SW at 17 seconds in the afternoon, 3771 energy. That is a long, powerful groundswell with perfect offshore ESE winds. This is the pick of the second week – absolutely pumping.
Thursday August 20th holds similar size (8ft) but the afternoon gets a bit marginal on the tide.
Friday 21st drops to 6ft in the morning but jumps back up to 8ft in the afternoon – a bit of a mixed bag with the tide comment, but still plenty of energy at 3206.
Saturday August 22nd is another solid day, but the wind swings cross-off. Swell hits 10ft from the SW with energy over 4306. That is powerful and big – experts only. It will be a bit bumpy with the cross-off.
Sunday 23rd through Monday 24th the size drops back, with 7ft and 6ft, but the winds are mixed. Monday August 24th morning is a cracker though – only 4ft but with a 19-second period from the SSW and offshore wind. That’s a very long-period, clean swell that will wrap in beautifully at this reef setup. Energy is still solid at 2010.
Towards the end, Wednesday August 26th morning has 6ft at 15 seconds with a light offshore breeze – clean and fun. Thursday 27th fades out with smaller, weaker swell and rain showers, so that’s the tail end.
Best on offer: the mornings of Thursday August 13th and Wednesday August 19th. Both have big, long-period SSW swell, clean offshore winds, and very strong energy. Get on it.
Rusty.

Information about the Outside Corner Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Outside Corner provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Outside Corner can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Outside Corner surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Outside Corner) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Outside Corner may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Outside Corner is 15 km (9 miles) from the city of Kuta. If you plan a holiday in The Bukit - Bali, look for hotels and other accommodation in Kuta. Kuta has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
