Outside Corner Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G'day, Rusty here. We've got a cracking run of swell on the way at Outside Corner. This is a solid, exposed reef and point break that's built for experienced surfers, and the next couple of weeks are looking stacked with consistent, clean groundswell. The water's sitting at 78.6°, which is pretty normal for this time of year.

We kick off Sunday the 13th with a strong SW groundswell pushing in at 5.9ft with a very long 18-second period. The combined energy is pumping at 2512, which is very strong, and we've got a moderate offshore breeze from the SE keeping things clean. This is proper, powerful surf for those who know what they're doing. That same quality holds into Sunday afternoon with a slight bump to 6.9ft, though the period drops a touch to 17 seconds. Monday morning the 14th is still excellent – 5.9ft from the SW, 16-second period, and that consistent offshore ESE breeze at 15 mph. The energy is still strong at 1494. Monday afternoon sees a slight dip in quality with the score dropping, but the swell is still a solid 5.6ft. Tuesday the 15th is back to excellent with 5.9ft SW, 15-second period, and lighter offshore winds at 12 mph. This pattern of strong, clean morning sessions with moderate offshore winds continues right through the week, with the swell shifting slightly more SSW from Wednesday the 16th onwards. The energy levels remain high, mostly in the four-digit range, so you're looking at powerful, well-shaped waves.

The best of the best really starts to build again on Sunday the 20th. We get a fresh pulse of SW groundswell at 6.2ft with a 16-second period, and the offshore wind is a gentle 9 mph from the SE. The energy jumps back up to 1852. That's a standout morning. Then on Monday the 21st, another excellent morning with 6.2ft SW, 14-second period, and gentle offshore breezes. But the real standout of the whole run is shaping up for Friday the 25th. The morning session sees a big SW groundswell at 7.5ft with an 18-second period, and the combined energy is massive at 4391. That is very strong, powerful surf. The wind is a light SSE at 9 mph, cross-offshore, but it's clean. This is only for the experts at that size, but the quality is off the charts. Saturday the 26th morning is another top pick with 6.6ft SSW, 16-second period, and light offshore ESE winds.

The whole forecast is solid, but the two true standouts are the Sunday 20th morning and especially the Friday 25th morning. Get on it. The run starts to ease into the 28th with smaller, cleaner waves as the swell drops back.
