The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.

Alright, things are looking a bit slow to start off here. We’ve got some swell on the way, but the first few days are just building up. The real action starts to get interesting around the middle of next week.

First up, Corvette is a reef break that’s exposed to SSW swells, and it’s fairly consistent. The water temp is sitting at 73°F, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no need to dig out the 5/4 just yet.

Wednesday the 15th of July is a bit of a tease. You’ve got a 2ft SSW swell with a 13-second period and a moderate offshore wind from the East. The combined swell energy is moderate (258). It’s clean, but it’s small. It’s a runner, but not a standout.

Things start to pick up properly on Thursday the 16th. The morning sees a 5ft SSW swell with a long 16-second period, and a fresh offshore wind from the NE. The energy is strong (1096). That’s a proper groundswell. This is a point where the long period could make it a bit straight at a beach break, but on a reef like Corvette, it’ll be lining up nicely. This is a standout morning for intermediate surfers.

The real gem, though, is shaping up for Saturday the 18th of July. The afternoon is looking glassy, absolutely glassy, with light ENE winds at just 3 mph. The swell is a solid 5ft from the SSW, with a very long 17-second period. The combined energy is strong (1862). This is the best on offer – clean, powerful, and with that long-period pulse. It’s rated excellent for experienced surfers, but it’s still a manageable size. This is the one to circle.

However, Sunday the 19th starts to get messy. The wind swings onshore and the swell drops a touch, but the period is still huge (20 seconds). The energy is still strong (1816), but the cross-onshore chop will spoil it.

The following week goes downhill fast. From Monday the 20th through to Wednesday the 22nd, we’ve got strong onshore winds and lumpy, poor conditions. Swell sizes jump up to 6ft and even 10ft on the 22nd, but with a fresh cross-shore wind, it’s going to be a washing machine. For a beach-and-reef setup like this, it’s honestly looking more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

The tail end of the forecast, from Thursday the 23rd of July onward, sees a lot of cross-offshore winds and clean conditions. The swell drops back to 3ft to 3ft with a long period, but the energy is moderate. It’s surfable, but nothing to get the heart racing. The 30th of July has a 5ft SE windswell with a short 7-second period, which is basically a closeout.

So, to wrap it up: the standout is Saturday the 18th of July, afternoon. Glassy, clean, 5ft of SSW groundswell at 17 seconds. That’s your best bet. The Thursday morning before that is also a solid call. After that, it’s a mix of messy and small, so don’t hold your breath for the second week.

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.
