The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down what’s happening at Corvette.
The first few days are a total bust. Thursday 13th and all of Friday 14th are blown out with onshore wind and choppy, poor surf. Saturday 15th is still marginal with a cross-shore breeze and messy conditions. Not worth a look.
The action picks up on Sunday 16th. The wind shifts to a cross-offshore, giving us clean waves. The swell is 1.5 to 1.9m from the SSW with a very long period of 15 to 16 seconds. That’s proper groundswell, perfect for a reef break like Corvette. The combined energy is strong (1804), so there’s plenty of power. This is the best call in the first week.
Monday 17th is a carbon copy of Sunday, with 1.8m SSW swell, 16-second period, and clean cross-offshore winds. The energy is even higher (1930). This is another great day.
Tuesday 18th and Wednesday 19th bring a serious step up in size. We’re looking at 2.4m to 3.0m waves. That’s for experts only. The conditions are clean, but the size and power will be too much for most.
From Thursday 20th onward, the swell drops and the wind comes back, making things poor and marginal. Saturday 22nd sees strong offshore winds, but the swell is a short, fast 8-second period, making it hard to paddle into. The energy is moderate (546), so it’s a lot of work for not much reward.
The next week is flat and quiet. From Sunday 23rd to Wednesday 27th, it’s all small, weak, or blown out. Not worth the drive.
Then, on Friday 28th August, we get a long-range whisper. The wind is light offshore, the swell is tiny at 0.6m, but the period is a massive 18 seconds. That’s an incredibly long period groundswell. The energy is low (280), but with that period and clean conditions, the few waves that show up will be glassy, perfect, and almost empty. It’s a long way out, so don’t get your hopes up too high, but it could be a real sleeper.
So, the clear winners are Sunday 16th and Monday 17th. That’s your window for solid, clean groundswell. The water temperature is about 71.6°, which is normal for the season. The crowds are listed as "sometimes," so you might have some company, but it shouldn’t be packed.
Short Range ForecastLight rain (total 4mm), mostly falling on Fri night. Warm (max 21°C on Fri afternoon, min 19°C on Sat night). Wind will be generally light. | Days 5-7 Weather SummaryModerate rain (total 12mm), heaviest on Sun night. Warm (max 20°C on Sun night, min 18°C on Tue night).

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.
