Outside Corner Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright friends, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming our way for the next couple of weeks. We got a solid run of groundswell lining up, so get your sticks ready.

The first call is for Wednesday, September 9th. We have a hefty 8ft SSW groundswell with a 16-second period hitting Outside Corner. The wind is cross-offshore, so it’ll be clean, but with that size and power, it’s strictly for the experienced crowd. The energy is strong, at 2823. Not a perfect day, but it’s a promising start. Water temp is around 79°, which is about average.

We’ll see a slight drop on Thursday the 10th, but nothing to worry about. Still a clean 7ft SSW swell with a 15-16 second period. The cross-off wind keeps it tidy. This is still one for the advanced surfer.

Then, starting Friday the 11th, things get real good. The wind swings offshore – ESE and SE – and the swell holds around 6ft from the SW. Periods stay in that lovely 14-16 second range. This is the core of the run. The wave energy is moderate, but the conditions are excellent. Friday and Saturday the 12th are looking prime, with clean, offshore winds and good shape.

Sunday the 13th brings more size, pushing back up to 7ft, and the period jumps to 17-18 seconds. That’s some serious groundswell. The wind stays offshore. This is powerful, well-organized surf. A real standout.

The run continues into the next week. Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th hold onto that clean, offshore consistency with 6ft to 6ft SW swell. The energy is a bit lower, but the quality doesn’t drop. Still excellent out there.

By Wednesday the 16th and Thursday the 17th, we’re still seeing that 6ft to 6ft range. The wind remains offshore for the mornings, keeping things clean. There will be a few bumpy afternoons, but the mornings are the go. Mind the tides.

Friday the 18th shows some promise with lighter winds and a clean 6ft SW swell. It’s a good one. And then we get to Saturday the 19th. The wind goes almost completely glassy in the morning with only a light air. The swell eases a touch to 5ft, but with that glass, it’s going to be the smoothest, cleanest waves of the whole run. A magic morning. Crowds are a possibility, so get out early.

The swell starts to build again on the 20th and 21st with a couple of pulses, getting up to a solid 8ft on Sunday the 20th and 7ft on Monday the 21st. The power is back, and the winds are light. These are serious days for the advanced surfer.

After that, there’s a slight easing mid-week, with smaller surf and a few choppier wind periods. But then, hold onto your hats, because the 23rd and 24th are looking like the true standouts of this entire forecast. We start to see significant energy building, and by Thursday the 24th, the combined energy reads a massive 3861. That’s the strongest we’ve seen. The swell is a solid 7ft from the SSW on the morning of the 24th, and the wind is a light offshore. This is a big, powerful day that has the potential to be the best of the bunch. It’s over a week away, so it’s a long-range call, but it’s one to mark on the calendar.

All in all, it’s a fantastic two weeks. There’s a bit of a lull mid-week around the 22nd, but the build-up on the 23rd and 24th is something to get excited about. Get after it.

Rusty.
