The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cooking for Outside Corner over the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a long run ahead but don’t get too excited just yet. The first week is all about solid, clean conditions but the surf stays modest for the most part. The real fireworks, the kind that get the heart pumping, are stashed away in the back half of the forecast, especially heading into early August. There’s some serious muscle building out there, and when it arrives, it’s going to be a show for those who can handle it.
Right now, on the 22nd of July, we’re sitting in a bit of a holding pattern. The water temp here is sitting at 26.5°, which is pretty much spot on average for this time of year, so no need to dig out the thick rubber. Early Wednesday morning had a clean 4.3ft SSW swell coming through, but the energy was only moderate at 733. The wind is a fresh ESE offshore, which is keeping the surface clean, but the overall score is just "okay", not the deep, firing stuff we dream about. This same middling theme runs through the end of the week.
Thursday the 23rd offers a *slight* uptick. The swell holds around 4.3ft from the SSW with a 14-second period, and the combined energy jumps up to 1042, a much better sign. A moderate offshore breeze from the SE keeps things tidy. Friday the 24th is a bit of a tease; the swell drops off but the period stretches out to 17 seconds from the SSW. That longer period means better shape and more grunt in the water, but at 2.6ft, it’s not exactly getting your heart racing. Around midday on Friday, the forecast flags it as having very good surf conditions, but the size is still just hanging around 3.0ft. It’s clean, it’s rideable, but you’ll be working for it.
Saturday the 25th brings us back up to 4.3ft from the SSW with a 15-second period, and again, moderate offshore winds. The energy is solid at 1074. It’s a decent weekend session, but nothing mind-blowing.
Now, things get a little interesting on Sunday the 26th. The swell swings around to the SE and pulses up to 6.2ft, but the period drops way off to 9 seconds. That’s windswell territory. The combined energy is still moderate at 865, but the quality takes a hit. A fresh ESE breeze is keeping it clean, but with 6.2ft waves, we’re getting into the zone where beginners are going to struggle, and the short period could make it a bit of a groveler. Monday the 27th is more of the same, with the swell holding around 5.2ft but the period falling to just 8 seconds. That’s a tad messy, even if the wind stays offshore.
We get a reset around Tuesday the 28th and Wednesday the 29th, with the swell settling back to the SSW and the period climbing back into the 14-16 second range. The energy remains moderate. The late morning of Wednesday the 29th again has "very good" conditions noted, with swell at 3.9ft and a 14-second period. It’s a lot more refined than the weekend.
But here’s where I get a bit emotional. The real standout window opens on the 30th of July. Thursday the 30th sees a noticeable jump. The morning brings 4.3ft from the SSW with a 15-second period, but the energy surges to 1327. Then the afternoon hits: the period stretches out to a very long 19 seconds, the swell holds at 3.3ft, and the energy rockets to 1602. That’s proper groundswell, and the forecast is calling it "excellent for experienced surfers". For a reef-and-point setup like Outside Corner, that long-period SSW swell is going to wrap in beautifully and produce some seriously clean, heavy lines. The wind is a moderate SE offshore. This is the session you want.
The quality keeps rolling. The 1st of August has an afternoon session with 4.9ft SSW swell at a 16-second period and energy at 1422, again flagged as excellent. But the absolute peak of the whole forecast window looks to be the 2nd of August. The morning of that Sunday brings 6.2ft from the SSW, a 16-second period, and the combined energy hits 1811. That’s strong wave energy. The wind is a moderate SE offshore. This is a heavy call for the experienced crew.
Then you get to the 4th of August. Holy mackerel. The Tuesday morning of August 4th shows a massive 8.2ft SSW swell with an 18-second period.

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.
