G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up at Corvette.
It starts quiet – nothing worth paddling for the first few days. Sunday the 5th of July has a small 4ft SE swell with a 13-second period, but the wind is cross-off or cross, and the water’s a bit messy. The combined wave energy is moderate (594). By Monday the 6th, the swell jumps to 6ft from the SSW but the wind turns cross-on and it gets choppy. Tuesday and Wednesday are a total write-off: the swell hits 12ft and even 13ft, all with onshore wind. The combined energy is strong (over 14,000), but it’s a lumpy mess. For a reef break like Corvette, it’s more kite-surfing territory than paddle.
Finally, things clean up. Friday the 10th has the swell around 7ft to 8ft from the SSW with a 12-second period, cross wind, but it’s still marginal – combined energy around 1,900 (moderate). Saturday the 11th goes glassy in the morning with a 7ft S swell (12-second period), but the wind is onshore, so not clean. The real standout is Sunday the 12th of July – the swell drops to just 2ft, but it’s a very long period SSW groundswell at 18 seconds with glassy conditions. Combined energy is moderate (801). For a reef, that long period will wrap in beautifully, giving smooth, lined-up waves. Best morning of the first week.
Then Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th go small again, with the swell down to 2ft to 3ft and shorter period (11–14 seconds). Combined energy is weak (around 177–386). Not worth it.
Into the second week, a pulse builds. Wednesday the 15th of July shows a 3ft SSW swell with a 23-second period – very long period – and clean cross-off wind from the ESE (25 mph). Combined energy is moderate (1,277). The real standout is Thursday the 16th of July. Morning starts with a 7ft SSW swell at 18 seconds and offshore wind from the east (10 mph), then it builds to 7ft in the afternoon with glassy cross-off wind. Combined energy jumps to 2,950 and 3,503 (moderate to strong). This is a proper groundswell, long period, clean, and at a reef – powerful and lined up. At over 7ft, it’s for experienced surfers only. Crowds can show up here sometimes, but the quality will draw people.
Friday the 17th stays strong at 8ft to 10ft with a 17-second period, good wind, and combined energy over 4,000 (strong). Saturday the 18th is the biggest: 12ft from the SSW, 16-second period, clean cross-off wind from the SE (15 mph), and combined energy hitting 5,808 to 6,561 (strong to very strong). Expert only. Water temp is about average for the time of year.
After that, Sunday the 19th drops to 8ft to 8ft with clean cross-off wind, and Monday the 20th fades to 7ft with light onshore wind. The top picks are Thursday the 16th and Saturday the 18th, but that Saturday swell is for the bold.
Overall, a slow start, then a glassy gem on the 12th and a powerful groundswell run from the 16th to the 18th. If you’re keen and skilled, get amongst it.
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.
