The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up for Outside Corner.
We’ve got a solid run of surf ahead, but it starts a bit slow and builds into something special. The first few days are a bit of a tease—there’s swell in the water, but the conditions are just okay. The real standout window is the second week, with a couple of days that look absolutely firing.
Tuesday the 1st is a bit of a write-off. The swell is there at 7ft from the SSW, but the wind is a fresh 19 mph offshore, which is clean, but the wave quality is just marginal. The combined energy is strong (2523), but the period is a very long 18 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell, and at a reef and point break like Outside Corner, it’s going to be lined up, but the wind strength might be a bit much for it to be truly epic.
Wednesday the 2nd is better. The swell drops slightly to 6ft from the SW, but the wind eases to 16 mph offshore. The period drops to a still-excellent 16 seconds, and the energy is high (1970). The morning session is the pick, with clean, moderate offshore winds. It’s still a bit big for beginners, but experienced surfers are going to have fun.
Thursday the 3rd and Friday the 4th see the swell easing down to 4ft-5ft, with periods dropping to 14-15 seconds. The winds stay offshore in the mornings, making for clean, fun waves. The energy drops to moderate (658-1186), but it’s a good time for a wider range of surfers.
The weekend of the 5th and 6th gets a bit messy. The swell picks up again to 7ft from the SSW, but the wind goes cross-offshore. The waves are still clean, but there’s a bit of chop on them. The energy is very strong (3163 on Sunday morning), but the conditions aren’t as pristine as the weekday mornings.
Now, here’s the real standout. Tuesday the 8th of September. The morning is the absolute gem of the whole forecast. Swell hits 8ft from the SSW, with a very long period of 18 seconds. The wind is a moderate 12 mph offshore, and the combined energy is a massive 5472. The forecast calls it exceptional for expert surfers, and that’s no joke. This is big, powerful, clean groundswell at a reef and point. It’s going to be thick, lined up, and barreling. This is a day for the experienced crew only. The afternoon is still big but the wind goes cross-off, so it’s not as perfect.
The rest of the second week stays solid. Wednesday the 9th through to the 16th sees consistent 5ft-8ft SW and SSW swells, with periods mostly between 15 and 16 seconds. The mornings are often offshore, with gentle to moderate breezes, making for clean, excellent conditions for experienced surfers. The energy stays in the strong range (1124-3073). It’s a very consistent run, with no real dud days. The 13th of September has a smaller 4ft swell from the SW but with a very long 18-second period, so it’ll be clean and fun, just not as powerful.
The water temperature is 79°, which is completely normal for this time of year. No anomalies to worry about.
Crowds at Outside Corner can sometimes be a factor, especially on a day like the 8th, so be prepared for company if you’re paddling out.
Overall, this is a great run. The first week is a bit of a slow burn, but the second week, especially the 8th, is the one to circle on the calendar. That’s a proper, big, clean groundswell day.
Rusty.

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. Our Outside Corner surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Outside Corner) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
Outside Corner is 15 km (9 miles) from the city of Kuta. If you plan a holiday in The Bukit - Bali, look for hotels and other accommodation in Kuta. Kuta has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
