The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's talk surf for Outside Corner.
We've got a good, long run of swell coming in. This is a reef and point break, takes some skill – it’s for advanced crew. Water temp is about 26°, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
It starts off Wednesday the 26th with some 5ft SSW swell, clean with offshore wind. Not massive, but a good start.
Thursday the 27th brings 4ft in the morning, and then 6ft in the afternoon with a 15-second period. Clean cross-off wind. This is where it starts getting real good.
Friday the 28th is the big highlight of the first week. We're talking 8ft of SSW swell, 16-second period. The energy is sky-high. Wind is light and offshore. That's a serious, expert-only day.
Saturday and Sunday hold around 5 to 6ft, still clean and lined up.
Monday the 31st has a 6ft swell with an 18-second period – super long groundswell. There'll be long waits between sets, but the waves that come will be super clean and powerful.
Tuesday the 1st of September and Wednesday the 2nd keep the swell at 6 to 7ft, with offshore wind. A little messy at times but still on for experts.
We get a bit of a drop on the 3rd and 4th down to 4 or 5ft, but still clean.
Then the second week fires back up. Saturday the 6th of September has 7ft of swell with offshore wind.
But the real standout is Wednesday the 9th of September. We're looking at 8ft to 8ft of SSW swell, 16 to 17-second period, and gentle offshore wind in the morning. The energy numbers are through the roof – over 3000. That is the session to circle on the calendar. But remember, at that size, it's for experts only. The reef will be jacking.
Crowds can show up here, but with this much solid swell, space should be findable. No blank days in this run – just a steady stream of Southern Ocean groundswell. Keep your head on a swivel.
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.
