Outside Corner Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Outside Corner.

This forecast is a proper long run of solid swell, but it’s a setup that’s squarely aimed at the experienced crew. We’re looking at a run of good, powerful, SW groundswell that kicks off from Monday the 10th and doesn't really let up for over two weeks. The water’s sitting at 79°, about average for this time of year, nothing to worry about on that front.

First up, Monday morning the 10th. We get a clean start with a 6ft SSW swell at 19 seconds – that’s proper long-period groundswell. Winds are light offshore from the SE, keeping things glassy. The energy is right up there at (3961), so you’re feeling some serious push. This is a standout moment; the waves are going to be well-shaped and powerful. Just a heads up, with that long period, Outside Corner being a reef and point setup is exactly where you want to be – it will focus that energy beautifully. Afternoon sees it jump to 10ft, and while the wind goes a bit cross-off, it’s still clean. That size is expert-only territory.

Tuesday the 11th holds solid again. Morning is 10ft with a 17-second period, and a cross-off breeze keeps things ridable for the skilled. Afternoon drops to 8ft. It’s still solid, but the comments suggest it might be a touch tricky with the tide.

Wednesday the 12th is a nice little window. Morning sees a 7ft SSW swell at 17 seconds, with clean offshore ESE winds. That’s beautiful. The energy is moderate at (2857) but the quality will be there. It’s still big, so not for learners.

Thursday the 13th, the morning looks phenomenal for experts. A 8ft SSW, 17-second swell, solid offshore wind, and energy at (4038). The afternoon bumps back to 10ft, winds go cross-off.

We roll into the weekend. Friday the 14th is still solid but the wind is cross-off all day. Still clean, but the magic is a little less. Saturday the 15th, we see a return of offshore winds on the morning session with a 7ft, 17-second swell – very good. Sunday the 16th is very similar, with a gentle offshore in the morning.

Into the second week, the pattern remains but the size eases a little. Monday the 17th sees 5ft, Tuesday the 18th has that lovely 20-second period on the afternoon session. The water is still clean.

Now, a proper standout pops up again on Sunday the 23rd. Morning has a 8ft SSW, 15-second swell, and the wind is offshore. The energy is back up to (4334). The afternoon is an absolute cracker: 10ft SSW, 18 seconds, clean offshore wind, energy at (4831). That is about as good as it gets for a reef setup, but it’s heavy and for experts only. The following Monday the 24th still has a gentle offshore with a 8ft swell to start the week.

There are no gaps of flat days here; it’s a solid, continuous run. Crowds are possible at Outside Corner, but the size will keep the numbers down.

If there's one thing to say: if you’re experienced, the morning of Monday the 10th and the afternoon of Sunday the 23rd are the best bets. Classic, powerful, clean reef waves.

Stay safe.
