The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a good look at what’s coming our way for the next couple of weeks. The pick of the bunch, and really the only spot we’re talking about, is Outside Corner.
We’re kicking off with a bit of a slow start. Monday the 27th through Wednesday the 30th of July is looking pretty average. There’s swell around, but it’s a bit messy and the tide’s working against us. The combined wave energy is moderate right now (around 769 to 836), so it’s not totally flat, but the quality isn’t there for a proper session.
Things start to get interesting on Thursday the 31st of July. The swell starts to clean up, and this is where it gets good. From Friday the 31st right through to the end of the first week of August, we’ve got a solid run of SSW groundswell hitting. The period starts creeping up to 15-18 seconds, which means proper energy and nice, lined-up sets. The wind stays offshore from the ESE and SE, keeping the surface glassy. By Saturday August 1st, the swell is pushing 5 ft to 6 ft with a period of 16-18 seconds, and the combined energy is strong, hitting around 1870. This is a proper session for you experienced crew – the wave faces will have power but the offshore wind is making it clean.
The standout window is definitely the weekend of August 2nd and 3rd. Sunday the 2nd sees the swell bump up to a solid 7 ft to 7 ft from the SSW with that lovely 17-second period. The combined energy is very strong (2583-2981). This is big, powerful stuff. It’s a reef and point break, so it’ll hold that size beautifully. But let’s be real, at over 8 ft, this is strictly for experts. The wind is a moderate offshore breeze, so the faces will be lined up and hollow. Crowds can happen here, so get in early.
Through the next week, the quality holds. From August 5th through the 8th, we’re still seeing solid 5 ft to 7 ft SSW swell, with moderate offshore winds keeping it clean. The energy stays strong.
Looking further out, the second week builds towards a proper pulse. On Sunday August 9th and Monday August 10th, we’ve got a very strong forecast (combined energy hitting 3859 to 4714) with the swell jacking up to 8 ft to 10 ft. That’s a very long period groundswell (16-17 seconds) from the SSW. It’s going to be big and powerful – absolute top-tier conditions for the experts. There’s a bit of rain possible on the 8th, but the wind stays offshore.
So, overall: if you’re an experienced surfer, the whole run from July 31st through to August 11th is quality. The absolute standouts are the first weekend in August (2nd and 3rd) for the clean, building swell, and the 9th and 10th for the big, powerful groundswell. Beginners should steer clear of anything over 5 ft, which is most of this run. It’s a long, consistent stretch of good surf.
Stay safe out there.

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.

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.
