Outside Corner Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the next couple of weeks at Outside Corner.

We’ve got a solid run of swell on the way. This is a reef and point break setup, so it handles a good push of energy well, and that’s exactly what we’re seeing. The standout window kicks off this Sunday morning, the 13th of September, with a clean 6ft SW groundswell and a long 18-second period. That is proper groundswell, so the sets will have serious push and shape. The combined swell energy is a hefty 2512, which tells you there’s plenty of power in the water. Wind is out of the SE at 16 mph, straight offshore. That’s a crisp, clean look for experienced surfers. Water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual there.

This stretch from Sunday the 13th through to Monday the 28th of September is pretty much wall-to-wall surfable days. There is no gap. The best of the best? Look no further than Friday the 25th of September. That morning you’re looking at a legit 8ft SSW swell with an 18-second period, and the combined energy blasts up to 4555 – that’s strong to very strong energy, the best on offer. The wind is SE at 13 mph, offshore and clean. That is expert territory, but for those who can handle it, this is the pick of the bunch. On the 23rd of September, the Wednesday before, the afternoon also pumps: 8ft SSW at a 16-second period and energy at 2971 with offshore wind. Another top contender.

Early on, Sunday the 13th itself, that morning session with 6ft SW and 18-second period is also a strong call. The long period means Outside Corner’s reef setup will shape those waves beautifully. Crowds can pop here sometimes, so on these best days, expect company. The consistency is fairly consistent, so you can trust the rhythm.

The second week holds up well. The 27th of September, a Sunday, has 8ft SSW with a light offshore breeze from the SE at 6 mph in the morning. That’s glassy conditions. Energy sits at 2299. It’s a promising option, though a little less certain this far out.

For the bigger days – anything over 8ft like on the 25th – this is strictly for experts. Beginners will want to sit this out. The long-period swells, especially when over 15 seconds, can make beach breaks fat, but here at a reef and point, it’s a dream.
