Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at the upcoming surf for our stretch of coast.

Right now, it’s looking like a bit of a slow start. We’ve got some small, messy swell and crossed-up winds on the menu, so don't expect much action in the immediate days. We’ll be waiting through a few days of average conditions before things really start to fire.

The water temperature is sitting around 73°F, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no need for a thick wetsuit just yet.

The main event is shaping up for Saturday the 18th of July. That’s the standout in the whole 16-day window. We’re looking at a solid pulse of SSW groundswell with the swell height hitting 13ft to 15ft and a long period of 16 seconds. The combined wave energy is going to be massive – we’re talking readings of 8811 and 9101, which is very strong. Now, for a reef break like Corvette, which is exposed to the SSW, this is going to be pumping. The wind is forecast to be a gentle cross-shore breeze, which is a major positive and will keep things clean. However, with these sizes, it’s strictly one for experienced surfers only – beginners and even intermediate surfers will want to sit this one out. This is a big, powerful groundswell so expect plenty of energy and longer waits between sets.

Before that, we get a nice little window on Saturday the 11th of July, particularly the morning. We’ll have a 7ft S swell with a 12-second period and glassy, offshore winds. The wave energy will be moderate but solid at 1753. It won’t be the biggest, but with those clean, calm conditions, Corvette will be offering up excellent, well-shaped waves for those who know what they’re doing.

The Sunday after, on the 12th of July, is also worth a mention. A smaller 4ft SSE swell but with clean, cross-offshore winds will produce some fun, rippable waves, though the energy is lower.

Looking further ahead to the 18th and 19th of July, that big swell event continues. The morning of Saturday the 18th is the pick of the entire outlook, with a 15ft swell. Sunday the 19th will still have a solid 10ft SSW swell, with cleaner winds coming from the ESE. That Sunday is another great option for experienced crew.

After that, Monday the 20th of July finishes the run with a 7ft SSW swell and glassy conditions in the morning, offering a chance for some solid waves as the swell eases.

So, in a nutshell, there’s a bit of a quiet spell to get through, but once we hit the second week, get ready. The 18th of July is the big one, but the 11th and 19th also have plenty of appeal. Keep an eye on the updates as we get closer.

Rusty.

Information about the Corvette Surf forecast

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