The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’ve got one spot on the menu and it’s a solid stretch of surf coming up, so let’s break it down day by day.
The overall pattern is a sustained run of SW to SSW groundswell hitting Outside Corner, a reef and point setup that loves that direction. We’re looking at moderate to strong wave energy, mostly in the 1000-3000+ range, and the good news is that winds are forecast to be offshore or cross-offshore for the vast majority of the period, meaning clean, lined-up waves for those who can handle it. This is advanced territory, so don’t be fooled by the clean look – it’s powerful.
The standout window is actually the last day of the forecast, Tuesday the 22nd of September. That morning sees a solid 7ft SSW swell with a very long period of 19 seconds and combined energy of 3103. That’s proper groundswell, the kind that wraps around the point with serious push. Winds are offshore from the ESE at 12 mph, so you’re looking at glassy, well-shaped waves. This is the pick of the entire run.
Now, stepping through it chronologically. The surf kicks off Monday the 7th of September morning with a 7ft SSW swell, 14-second period, and 2003 combined energy. Winds are offshore SE at 12 mph. Conditions are excellent for experienced surfers, but that afternoon the wind goes cross-off, and the quality drops a notch. Tuesday the 8th sees the swell dip a little, but the period jumps to 18-19 seconds, so the waves have real grunt. The energy readings are high (2874 and 3469), but the cross-off wind keeps the scores from being top-tier. Wednesday the 9th is similar, with an 8ft SSW swell in the morning – that’s getting big, and with a 16-second period, it’s heavy. Only for experts. Winds are cross-off, so it’s clean but not perfect.
Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th are both clean with offshore winds kicking back in on Friday. Swell holds around 7ft, period around 16 seconds, energy around 2000. Good, consistent surf. Saturday the 12th sees the swell ease to 5-5ft, but the offshore wind stays, and the energy is still moderate. Sunday the 13th has a morning spike with a 6ft, 18-second swell and 2524 energy – that’s a nice pulse, offshore wind in the morning. The afternoon goes cross-off again.
The following week continues the theme. Monday the 14th through Thursday the 17th of September sees mostly 5ft to 6ft SW to SSW swells, periods 14-16 seconds, and consistent offshore ESE winds. The energy readings stay in the 1100-1800 range, so moderate but clean. Friday the 18th sees the lightest surf of the run – 5ft, 15-second swell, energy down to 980. Still offshore, still clean, just smaller. Then Saturday the 19th brings a new pulse: 6ft to 7ft SW swell, 16-17 second period, energy jumping back up to 2380. Sunday the 20th holds similar size and energy, and by Monday the 21st we’re easing again but still good.
Then Tuesday the 22nd of September hits, and that’s the one I’d circle on the calendar. 7ft, 19-second SSW groundswell, 3103 combined energy, and offshore ESE wind. That’s the kind of day where the point at Outside Corner will be running long, clean walls. The period is long enough to make paddling out manageable between sets, but the wave face will be powerful. Expect a crowd, because this spot gets busy on days like this.
Outside Corner is a reef and point break, exposed to SW swell, and it’s fairly consistent. The optimum direction is SW, and the forecast matches that well. It’s an advanced wave, so leave the foamies at home. The water temperature anomaly is neutral – about average for this time of year.
That’s the run. A long stretch of clean, punchy surf with one standout day at the end. Stay safe out there.

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.
