The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down for the imperial crew.
We’ve got a solid stretch of surf rolling in from Saturday, September 12th, right through the whole 16-day window – no real flat spells. The only break in the game is Outside Corner, a reef and point setup that’s not for beginners.
It opens Saturday morning with a clean 5ft SW swell, a long 14-second period, and a stiff offshore ESE breeze at 12 mph. Clean as a whistle, with moderate wave energy (1727) pushing through. Water temp is 79°, which is dead average for this time of year.
Sunday the 13th is the first real standout. Swell builds to 6ft in the morning, then 7ft in the afternoon, still from the SW with a very long period of 17 to 18 seconds. That’s groundswell, and with the reef and point setup, it’s going to reel off nicely. Offshore winds all day – SE at 12 to 16 mph. Energy readings hit 2512 and 2625 – this is the pick of the early days.
Monday the 14th stays solid, a steady 6ft to 6ft SW swell. The morning is excellent, but the afternoon gets a little marginal – still rideable, just not firing. Tuesday and Wednesday keep the quality high, with offshore winds and steady 6ft to 6ft SSW swell. Periods stay around 14 to 15 seconds, so plenty of push.
Thursday the 17th sees the wind go cross-off in the afternoon, so the morning is your time. Friday the 18th the swell eases a bit – 5ft in the morning, dropping to 3ft by the afternoon. Still clean early.
Then the second week brings the big stuff. Saturday the 19th serves up a clean 4ft SSW swell with gentle offshore winds. Sunday the 20th jumps back to 7ft to 7ft SW swell, with 16-second periods. Morning is the go.
Wednesday the 23rd sees a 7ft SSW swell in the morning with a 17-second period and energy at 3470. That’s proper. The afternoon hits 8ft but wind goes cross-off. Friday the 25th is one to circle – morning is clean with a 6ft SSW swell and a 20-second period – that’s as long as it gets. Energy is 3915. The afternoon spikes to 10ft with a 19-second period, but cross-off wind again.
Saturday the 26th is for the big dogs. A 10ft SSW swell in the morning with a 17-second period and gentle offshore ESE breeze. Energy at 5064 – heavy, expert-only territory. The afternoon drops to 8ft but the wind goes cross-off.
Sunday the 27th winds down to a still-strong 7ft to 7ft SSW swell, but the afternoon gets a bit messy.
Best of the best: Sunday the 13th for clean, long-period groundswell in the chest-to-head-high range, and Friday the 25th morning for that ridiculous 20-second period – though that’s a long-range call, so keep an eye on it. Saturday the 26th morning is for the seasoned crew only.
Outside Corner can get a crowd – it’s “sometimes” busy, so expect company on the weekends. But with this much consistent swell and good wind, it’s going to be a hell of a run.
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.
