The Lowdown

Alright, grab your wettie, let’s have a look at what’s coming down the pipe here. This is a solid run for those who know what they’re doing.

The first swell hits on Friday the 21st of August, and it kicks off a long, sustained stretch of groundswell. There’s no gap at the start—we’re straight into it. The water is sitting at 78°, which is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.

Outside Corner is the only show in town, and it’s a reef and point setup that demands respect. This spot is for advanced surfers only. It’s fairly consistent and exposed to the south-west swell, which is exactly what we’re getting – consistent, long-period SSW groundswell. The combined swell energy is pumping, with readings in the thousands (2588 on Friday morning). That’s strong, powerful stuff. The wind is offshore from the SE, staying light to moderate, so the face will be clean. That’s a major positive.

Friday the 21st sees it start at 5 ft with an 18-second period, building to 8 ft in the afternoon. That long period—over 15 seconds—is what makes this a proper point and reef wave, drawing in those long lines. Saturday the 22nd holds solid at 7-7 ft, still with that long 16-second pulse. Clean all day. Sunday the 23rd drops a touch to 6 ft with a 15-second period, still excellent.

The real standout, the one you want to circle on the calendar, is Friday the 28th of August. Both the morning and afternoon are absolute crackers. 8 ft of SSW swell, 16-second period, offshore wind, and the combined energy hits over 3000 (3319 morning, 3113 afternoon). That’s meaty, powerful, world-class surf for the experienced crew. It’s going to be a hectic day out there, but the rewards will be huge. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, and on a day like that, expect it.

After that peak, the surf settles a bit but stays really good through the end of August and into the start of September. The 29th is a good 7 ft morning, and a pulse on the 1st of September delivers another 7-8 ft SW swell (from the optimum direction) with a 19-second period. This is another top-tier session for experts.

The last week of the outlook keeps the momentum going, with solid 8-8 ft swells on the 2nd and 3rd, but the wind gets a little more cross-off on the 3rd, so the quality takes a slight dip. Still, there’s plenty of power in the water. The very end, around the 4th and 5th of September, drops down to a smaller but still clean 4-6 ft, with some very long period groundswell—good for a relaxed session if the crowds have eased up.

Bottom line: This is a lock for a solid two weeks of heavy, clean, offshore groundswell. If you’re only going to paddle out once, make it the 28th of August. That’ll be the one you remember.

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.

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.
