The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. We’ve got a solid run of surf coming up at Outside Corner. This is a reef and point setup that handles a SW swell really well, and that’s exactly what’s lining up. The water temp is sitting right on 80°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
We kick things off on Sunday the 30th of August. The swell is already in the water, a 5ft SSW groundswell with a 13-second period, and the wind is blowing offshore from the ESE at 16 mph. That’s clean, lined-up surf, and the wave energy is moderate (839). The waves will be a bit bigger by the afternoon, holding around 4ft, and the conditions stay just as clean. A great way to start the week.
Monday the 31st sees a jump in quality. The swell bumps up a little to 4ft in the morning, but the real story is the period stretching out to 18 seconds. That’s proper groundswell, with excellent energy (1367). For a point break like this, that long period means long, peeling lines. The wind is still solidly offshore from the ESE. By Monday afternoon, the swell is pushing 6ft and the energy hits 1892. This is the beginning of the standout period.
Tuesday the 1st of September is a ripper. The morning delivers 7ft of clean, powerful SSW swell, with the same 18-second period. The energy is now 2523 – that’s strong, and it shows. The wind is fresh from the ESE at 16 mph, holding the faces open. This is expert territory for most, as the size and power will push beginners out. The afternoon holds the same height, though the period drops a touch to 17 seconds and the wind shifts slightly to the SE.
The rest of the first week keeps decent surf going, with clean offshore winds and swell in the 5ft to 6ft range, just not quite the same raw quality as that Monday-Tuesday peak. The wind stays offshore or cross-offshore, so the break stays mostly tidy.
Now, if you’re waiting for the real standout, mark your calendar for the 6th of September. That Sunday morning, we’re looking at 8ft of SSW swell with an 18-second period and the energy is massive at 4251. The wind is still offshore. That’s a big, powerful, clean day, but it’s strictly for experienced surfers. Anything over 8ft is for experts only, and this is right on that edge.
The 8th and 9th of September are another serious peak. Tuesday the 8th hits 10ft in the afternoon, with an 18-second period and energy reading 6278. That’s a huge, powerful swell. The wind is lighter, from the S at 9 mph, but it’s cross-offshore, so the shape could get a little tricky. This is a day for experts only. Wednesday the 9th stays big at 8ft, with a slightly lighter wind, but again, those cross-off conditions.
From the 10th through to the 14th of September, the surf settles back but remains very good. We’re seeing consistent 6ft to 7ft SSW groundswells, with periods ranging from 15 to 18 seconds, and plenty of offshore wind sessions. Crowds can be a factor here sometimes, especially on the standout days.
The 13th of September is another one to watch: 7ft with an 18-second period, strong energy (3979), and offshore wind in the morning. That’s a full-on session for experienced surfers.
Bottom line: The standout days are Monday 31st August into Tuesday 1st September, and then the big pulse from the 6th to the 9th of September. For pure quality and clean conditions, the 1st and the 6th are the absolute pick of the bunch.

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.
