Outside Corner Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. The long-range looks are showing a solid run of Southern Hemi groundswell pushing into Outside Corner for the next couple of weeks. This is an exposed reef and point setup, so it’s going to pick up that SW energy better than most spots around here. Water temps are running pretty average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.

The first stretch, starting Monday the 10th, is looking strong. We’ve got a big pulse of SSW swell, around 6ft on Monday morning with a 19-second period. That’s some serious, long-period groundswell – the kind that wraps in with real purpose. The energy reading is strong at 3961, and with a light ESE offshore wind, it should be clean and lined up. This is proper Outside Corner, so it’s advanced territory for sure, but the conditions are excellent for experienced surfers. The afternoon pushes overhead at 10ft, and while the wind swings a bit cross-off, it’s still going to be a powerful session.

Tuesday keeps the size up, with 10ft in the morning and 8ft in the afternoon, all from the SSW with that long period dropping slightly from 17 to 16 seconds. Winds are cross-off, so it’ll be a bit more textured, but still very surfable for the crew that knows the lineup. Wednesday eases slightly to 7ft, but the wind goes back to true offshore, and the 17-second period keeps the quality high. That’s a standout morning right there.

We hit another peak on Thursday the 13th, with 8ft and a 17-second period, and an offshore breeze in the morning. That’s another one to circle. The energy is strong at 3686, and the conditions are clean. Friday sees a bit of a drop to 8ft, and the wind is a bit more cross-off, but still fine. The morning is a bit more average, but the afternoon comes back with a 7ft and offshore wind.

The weekend of the 15th and 16th keeps the momentum going. Saturday morning is 7ft with some clouds and a cross-off wind, but the afternoon cleans up with an offshore breeze. Sunday the 16th looks like a gem – 7ft in the morning down to 6ft in the afternoon, with offshore winds all day. That’s clean, consistent, and a great way to spend the day.

The first part of the following week, the 17th, starts to lose a bit of size, down to 5ft with a 14-second period. Still good, but the energy is dropping. Then Tuesday the 18th sees a bit of a lull in the morning at 4ft, but it picks up again in the afternoon to 6ft. The period jumps back up to 16 seconds, which is promising.

Then it’s game on again. From Wednesday the 19th through the 22nd, we’ve got another solid pulse of SW swell, holding at 8ft with 16-18 second periods. The winds are offshore for most of this stretch, though it gets a bit fresh at times. This is a long run of solid, powerful surf. The energy is back up in the strong range, with readings in the 3000s and 2000s. That Wednesday the 19th and Thursday the 20th look particularly noteworthy, with that longer-period pulse.

The final stretch into the 23rd and 24th sees the swell ease back to 6ft, but the period stays in the 14-15 second range, and the winds stay offshore. It’s still consistent and clean, just not as big. Consistent right through to the end of the window.

So, the standout days are clearly the 10th, 12th, and 13th for the biggest, cleanest, and longest-period swell. The 19th and 20th are also up there, but the winds are a bit stronger. Beyond that, it’s a very solid run of surf for the whole two weeks. Crowds are sometimes a factor here, so get out early. This is a spot that can handle the size, but it’s not for beginners. Once it’s over 8ft, it’s a serious step up.
