Table - best surf conditions forecast for Corrente over the next 16 days.
Righto, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the coming days at Corrente.
Corrente is a reef break that needs a bit of love to get good, and to be honest, the next week and a half looks pretty grim. We've got a real drought on our hands. The swell is small and weak, with moderate wave energy (around 367 to 409) on Friday the 10th, but the wind is onshore and the conditions are just messy. Saturday the 11th isn't much better—a bit of a pulse, but the wind spoils it.
The one true standout in this whole outlook is Sunday morning, July 12th. The swell is a clean 4 ft from the SSE, with a solid 12-second period. The wind is a light, cross-offshore breeze from the NNE, which is rare and a major positive. This is the only session that scores a "good" wave comment. The combined energy is moderate (338), but it's the cleanest we'll see. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
After that, it's a slide into onshore slop. Monday the 13th has a small, cleanish morning but with tiny surf (3 ft). Then we hit a long, flat gap. From Tuesday the 14th to Thursday the 24th, it's a mix of onshore winds, short-period windswell (periods of 8 to 10 seconds), and mostly poor conditions. The swell size does bump up a bit from the 20th to the 22nd, hitting 5 ft to 6 ft, but it's coming from the E or ESE with a short, weak period and onshore wind. That's not good for a reef—it's just messy, blown-out chop. Honestly, for a stretch of almost two weeks, there's nothing worth paddling out for.
If you're an expert, there's a flicker of hope on Wednesday morning, July 22nd, where the swell is 6 ft from the ESE, but with a short 8-second period. The wind is light cross-onshore, so it's marginal, but for a big-wave specialist on a reef, it might offer a few heavy, lumpy ones. But for most of us, it's a hard pass.
So, bottom line: Sunday morning the 12th is your best bet by a long shot. After that, it's a waiting game and a hope that the forecasts change. This is a pretty typical blank run for this area, so don't get too down.
Rusty.

Information about the Corrente Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Corrente provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Corrente can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Corrente 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 (Corrente) 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 Corrente 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.
