The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a solid run of surf coming in. The first real action kicks off Thursday morning, August 27th. The swell is already showing up with a clean 4ft SW groundswell, period a long 16 seconds, and a gentle offshore wind from the ESE. The water temp is sitting at 79°, which is spot on average for this time of year, so no surprises there. The energy is pumping with a reading of 1330 (moderate wave energy), and conditions are glassy. This is a cracking start for the experienced crew at Outside Corner, a reef and point setup that loves a SW swell. The long period means the waves will have good shape and power, but you’ll want to be on your game for the paddle out.
The standout of the whole run without a doubt is Friday, August 28th. Both morning and afternoon are firing with 8ft of clean SSW swell, a 16-second period, and offshore winds that keep the surface glassy. The energy is strong (3633 in the morning), and the setup is dialled in for experienced surfers. This is the kind of day you’d be a fool to miss – just know that 8ft is expert territory, so if you’re not confident, sit this one out.
Saturday the 29th backs it off a touch with 6ft in the morning, still clean and cross-off, but the afternoon drops to 5ft and gets a bit marginal on the tide. Still a solid day, but the real fire is on Friday.
We’ve got a sweet run of clean, offshore winds holding through most of the following week. Sunday the 30th through to Thursday September 3rd sees swell hanging around the 4ft to 7ft range, with the south-west direction staying consistent. The period stays in the 12 to 18 second range, so there’s plenty of push. The mornings are generally the cleanest, with moderate offshore breezes. The energy levels stay moderate to strong, nothing too crazy.
The second week, from September 4th onwards, the swell starts to pulse again. Friday the 4th is a bit smaller, 4ft, and the wind gets a bit cross-off. Then Saturday the 5th sees a bump back to 6ft, but the wind is more cross-off, so the surface isn’t as perfect. The real highlight of that second week looks like Sunday, September 6th and Monday, September 7th. Both mornings hit 6ft to 6ft of clean SSW swell with offshore winds. The energy is solid (1287 and 1336), and the consistency is there. Tuesday the 8th is a bit of a letdown with smaller swell and cross-off winds, but Wednesday the 9th ramps up again with 5ft and a long 17-second period, making for another excellent session.
The very end of the run, September 10th and 11th, brings back 6ft to 6ft of clean swell with light offshore winds. The energy is high, and it looks like a great way to finish the two-week stretch.
Keep in mind, Outside Corner can get crowded, so if you’re looking for a quieter session, get there early. This is a fairly consistent run, so it’s looking like a good window for the skilled surfer.
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.
