The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’ve got one spot on the radar for this whole 16-day window, and it’s a proper gem for the experienced crew.
We’re looking at Outside Corner, a reef and point setup that’s dialled into SW swells. The water temp is sitting at 79°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so nothing wild to report there.
The pattern kicks off on Friday, August 28th. The swell is already pushing 8ft from the SSW, but it’s a bit of a messy one with a cross-off wind and a lot of energy in the water (3237). It’s not the cleanest start, but it’s a sign of things to come.
The real standout here is Saturday, August 29th, and it’s a beauty. The morning sees a drop to a still solid 6ft SSW swell, but the wind goes glassy – absolutely dead calm at 3 mph. That’s about as good as it gets for clean conditions. The swell period is a long 15 seconds, so you’re getting groundswell lines with proper shape and energy, though expect a bit of wait between sets. The combined energy is still strong at 1556. This is the pick of the first week, no question. The afternoon stays clean with a gentle offshore breeze, and the swell backs off a touch to 4ft, but it’s still a great session.
The quality rolls right through the rest of the week. Sunday the 30th holds clean 5ft to 4ft waves with a moderate offshore wind. Monday the 31st is a ripper – long period 18-second SSW swell, 4ft in the morning building to 6ft in the arvo, all with a clean offshore breeze and serious energy (1892 in the afternoon). Tuesday September 1st is the biggest of the early run, with 7ft SW swell and a solid 18-second period, but that’s getting into expert-only territory and it’s a powerful groundswell that will be lining up nicely on the point, though it might be a handful.
The pattern holds through the rest of the first week and into the second, with consistent offshore winds and wave heights ranging from 4ft to 6ft. Expect crowds to be possible at this spot, so get there early.
Now, the real standout of the entire run is Friday, September 11th. This is the one to circle on the calendar. We’re talking a 8ft to 8ft SSW groundswell with a long 18-second period, pumping energy (over 3500), and a clean moderate offshore wind. That’s a serious, powerful, long-period groundswell that is going to be absolutely stacking up on the reef and point. It’s big, it’s clean, and it’s for the experienced crew only. Saturday the 12th is also massive with 8ft SW swell, but the wind is a bit stronger.
So, for the advanced surfer, the window is pretty much open from the 29th of August right through to the 12th of September. The absolute best on offer is Saturday morning the 29th for the glassy perfection, and Friday the 11th of September for the pulse of big, powerful, clean groundswell.
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.
