The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.

We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but don’t write the week off just yet. The first real swell we see is on Sunday the 26th of July, and that’s where the real story begins.

The standout by a long shot is Corvette (reef). This spot is a fairly consistent reef break, exposed to the SSW swell, and it’s looking at a solid, chunky groundswell arriving Sunday morning. We’re talking a 11.5 ft swell from the SSW with a very long period of 15 seconds, and the combined energy is massive at 4923 – that’s a lot of power. The wind is a clean cross-off from the SE at 16 mph, so the face will be clean. This is a proper, heavy wave. It’s not for the faint of heart. At over 8 ft, this is strictly for experts. That long period groundswell will be stacking up deep and fast on the reef. Crowds are sometimes a factor here, so expect a few other keen locals out. The water temperature is about average for this time of year.

Sunday afternoon holds solid at 9.8 ft with a 14-second period, still a beast. The wave energy drops a little into Monday, but you’ll still have 7.2 ft to 6.6 ft SSW swell over the 27th and 28th, with that same clean cross-off wind. Those days are still good for experienced surfers, but the size comes down into the intermediate-friendly range by Tuesday.

After that, the swell backs off a touch through the end of the week. The 30th of July shows a fun little 3.0 ft SSW swell with a very long 19-second period, but the energy is moderate. The 31st of July picks up again with 6.6 ft SSW groundswell, clean and worth a look.

Heading into the first week of August, we get a change in the wind. On the 1st of August, a E wind swings offshore, blowing clean. The swell is solid 6.2 ft to 5.6 ft SSW, but the period drops to 13 to 14 seconds. The 3rd of August Monday afternoon is a real highlight for the second week: an excellent forecast for experienced surfers with 7.5 ft of SE windswell, but the period is short at 8 seconds. The wind is moderate offshore from the NE at 16 mph, making for clean, hollow, punchy waves. Be warned, this is a short-period swell, so it’ll be a bit more sectiony and harder to get into.

The rest of the second week gets messy. The 4th of August sees the wind swing onshore, trashing the quality. From the 5th through the 8th, the wind is blowing strong cross-off or cross-onshore, and the swell is either small or jumbled. The 8th of August morning has a big 5.6 ft SSW groundswell with a 19-second period, but the wind is a strong 25 mph cross-off, which will make it a battle to get out and the waves will be blown out. It’s not going to be a great paddle.

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.
