Outside Corner Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here, and I'm looking at a real solid stretch coming up for us. The entire 16-day window is active right from the start, no sitting around waiting. We've got a persistent run of clean conditions and solid, long-period groundswell that's going to keep the boils working nicely.

We're talking about Outside Corner, a reef and point setup that loves a good SW swell. Water temp is sitting at 79°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The action kicks off this Thursday afternoon, the 27th of August. It's not the biggest day, but the quality is already there. You've got 5ft of SSW swell with a 15-second period, and a clean, offshore ESE breeze. The combined swell energy is strong at 2315. It’s an expert-only wave at this size and it's going to be clean as a whistle.

Friday the 28th morning is where you want to be circling on the calendar. This is the standout. We're looking at a solid 8ft SW groundswell, period up to 16 seconds, cranking a combined energy of 3499. That’s a powerful, heaving reef wave. The wind is a gentle offshore from the ESE, so it’s going to be glassy and perfect. This is serious, experienced surfer territory only – anything over 8ft and it's a proper ledge. The crowd factor is “sometimes,” so expect a few other chargers out there, but it'll be worth the company.

Saturday morning the 29th backs off a touch to 6ft, but it's still a quality SSW swell with a light cross-off wind. Clean lines, but the energy is dropping (1534). Through the rest of the week and into September, we stay locked in. Sunday the 30th has an offshore wind all day, with moderate energy around 1000. Monday the 31st and Tuesday the 1st of September see the swell climb back up over 7ft with a very long 18-second period from the SW. The energy jumps right back up over 2600. That long period makes it a point break dream, but it'll be fast and powerful.

The pattern holds through the first week of September. You'll get a mix of mornings with clean offshore winds, often with moderate to fresh breezes. Wednesday the 2nd and Thursday the 3rd are still pumping with clean 5ft to 7ft SW swell, but the energy gradually drops. Friday the 4th is a smaller day.

The second week, starting around the 6th of September, it’s still looking promising but less certain. Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th have a bump back up with 5ft to 6ft SSW swell and moderate energy around 1300. Monday the 7th continues that, still with offshore winds. Through Tuesday and Wednesday it backs off a bit, dropping to 4ft-5ft, but remains clean.

Then look here, a real long-range head-turner for the 11th of September: Friday morning shows a 6ft SW groundswell with a 16-second period, a moderate offshore wind, and energy back up to 1890. That’s a long way out, but the signal is strong for another quality session.

Overall, the first week is the gold. Friday the 28th morning is your absolute best bet for a big, clean, expert session. Outside Corner is going to be offering up some serious, proper waves with that long-period groundswell and consistent offshore winds.

Rusty.
