Outside Corner Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it.

We've got a solid run of surf coming up at Outside Corner, a reef and point setup that's exposed to the SW. The water is sitting at 79°, which is pretty much what you'd expect for this time of year, no surprises there.

The first real action kicks off on Friday the 4th. It's not the cleanest start with a cross-off SE wind at 12 mph, but there's a clean 5 ft SW swell pushing in with a solid 14-second period. The energy is already strong (1106), so the ocean has some push. It's a bit marginal though, so don't expect perfection right away.

Come Saturday morning the 5th, the swell jumps up to 7 ft from the SSW, at a very long 16 seconds. The energy is racking up (2007), but the wind is still cross-off. It stays clean, but it's still a bit questionable for a full-on session.

Now, Sunday morning the 6th is where it starts to get good. We've got offshore wind from the SSE at 12 mph, blowing straight into the face of a 7 ft SSW groundswell with a 17-second period. The energy is pumping (2844). This is prime for the experienced crew. The long period means those sets will be well-spaced, and the offshore wind will have the waves standing up like walls. This is a standout for the first week.

The week that follows is a steady diet of solid SSW swell, mostly in the 6 ft to 8 ft range, with cross-off winds. The energy stays high, often in the 2000s and 3000s. It's clean, consistent, and powerful. The real standout of the whole run, however, is Sunday the 13th. That morning we see an 8 ft SW swell at 18 seconds, with offshore wind from the SE at 12 mph. The energy is a massive 3747. This is expert territory, pure and simple. If you've got the skills, that's the morning to be charging.

The second week of the forecast, from the 14th onwards, keeps the quality high. We see a lot of mornings with clean offshore winds from the ESE and SE, and the swell holds steady around 5 ft to 7 ft from the SW. The energy values are still very strong, often in the 1000s and 2000s. Then, the final standout of the whole outlook hits on Saturday the 19th. The afternoon session sees a 8 ft SSW swell with a 16-second period, offshore wind from the SE at 12 mph, and the energy absolutely peaking at 4089. It's a long-range call, so it's promising but not a lock, but if it lines up, that's the best of the best on offer.

The only real downside here is that Outside Corner does see crowds sometimes, and for a spot this good, you can expect some company, especially on the standouts. The early mornings will be your best bet for a bit of space.

Rusty, signing off.
