The Lowdown
Alright mate, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the same run but in feet.
The spot to be is Outside Corner – a reef and point break that lights up on SW swell. Water temp is 26°, so average for the season.
Monday the 17th of August we’ve got surf around 5 ft from the SSW with a 14-second period. Offshore wind from the ESE keeps it glassy. Moderate energy (903) – a decent opener.
Tuesday the 18th picks up to 6 ft with a 16-second period – more grunt. Energy jumps to 2197. Offshore winds all day. This is for experienced surfers.
Wednesday the 19th is the big one – 8 ft to 8 ft from the SSW with a 17-18 second period. That’s serious groundswell. Energy hits 3575 in the morning and 4095 in the arvo – strong. Expert-only, and absolutely firing.
Thursday the 20th holds 8 ft from the SW, still offshore. Energy stays high at 3697.
Through Friday the 21st and Saturday the 22nd, it drops a little to around 7 ft to 8 ft, but the offshore wind remains your friend.
From Sunday the 23rd, we ease to 6 ft to 6 ft. Energy is still solid (1700-2100). Most mornings are clean, with a few afternoons going cross-offshore.
By Wednesday the 26th, waves shrink to 4 ft to 5 ft with shorter period – still surfable, especially with offshore winds. Thursday the 27th is a sneaky good one – only 4 ft to 4 ft, but the period jumps to 18 seconds, giving it shape and power (2037 energy). Gentle offshore, glassy.
August 31st and September 1st bring another pulse of 7 ft to 7 ft from the SW with 15-16 second period and clean winds. Energy is over 2000 again. The quality holds right through.
Crowds are “sometimes”, so expect a few mates out there, especially on the standout days. With that long-period groundswell, the point and reef will handle it beautifully. If it hits over 8 ft, it’s experts only.
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.
