Outside Corner Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got one spot in the spotlight, and it’s got a solid run of action.

The overall pattern is driven by a persistent, long-period SSW groundswell, and we’re looking at a classic run of consistent, clean surf at Outside Corner, a reef and point setup. The water temp is sitting at 80°, which is bang on average for this time of year – no surprises there.

The run kicks off on Monday the 6th in the afternoon. We’ve got a 6ft SSW swell with a 16-second period, which is proper groundswell with plenty of push. The combined energy is pumping at (2462), and with a fresh 19 mph SE offshore breeze, it’s going to be clean and lined up. The only catch is the outlook flags it as marginal, likely due to tide, so you’ll need to read the banks. The real standout hits on Wednesday the 8th. Both morning and afternoon are a solid 7ft to 7ft from the SSW with a long 15 to 16-second period, clean offshore winds, and combined energy readings of (1907) and (2095). This is excellent, powerful reef surfing for experienced crew. The size is pushing into expert territory, so if you’re not on your game, sit this one out.

Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th see the swell holding around 6ft to 7ft, but the wind picks up a bit to 19 to 22 mph. Still offshore, but it’s fresher, and the showers might put a bit of chop on the surface. The energy stays strong, though, with readings like (2095) and (1948). Saturday the 11th drops off a touch, and then we get a lull into the 12th and 13th with smaller 2ft to 3ft waves. Then, on Monday the 13th afternoon, there’s a sneaky 3ft, 21-second monster period swell from the SSW. That’s a very long period groundswell, and while it’s small, the energy is still (1008) – this is a moment for the longboard or a big-gun session, as it’ll be super clean.

The second week sees a solid pulse return. Tuesday the 14th has a 6ft, 18-second groundswell with energy at (1754), and the wind is a fresh 19 mph offshore. Wednesday the 15th is another big day with 6ft, 16-second swell and energy at (2004). The week wraps up with a strong, clean weekend. Sunday the 19th morning is a top pick: 7ft from the SW, 16-second period, combined energy (2121), and only a moderate 16 mph offshore breeze – that’s a long-range standout that looks promising. Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st still have good swell, but the wind freshens again.

The best on offer is clearly Wednesday the 8th, with both sessions offering powerful, clean, expert-level waves. The second standout is that Sunday the 19th morning session in the second week – it’s a little further out, so keep an eye on it, but it has all the ingredients for a classic day. Crowds are possible at Outside Corner, so get there early.

Rusty.
