The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, and I’ve got the goods on what’s coming up for us. Let’s get straight into it.

We’re looking at a slow start, but don’t write this one off. The first few days are a bit of a write-off for a proper session, with poor to marginal conditions. The real action, the stuff that gets the heart pumping, starts to build from September 6th onwards. There’s a solid window of clean, decent-sized swell, but you’ve got to pick your moments.

The spot to have your eye on is Corvette. This is a reef break, fairly consistent, and it loves a swell from the SSW. The water temp is sitting around 71°, which is pretty much right on the money for this time of year, nothing weird going on there.

The first real standout is Sunday morning, September 6th. We’ve got a clean 6ft SSW swell rolling in with a solid 16-second period. The wind is offshore from the east at 16 mph. That’s a recipe for some proper, powerful lines. The wave energy is strong (1757), and this is a session for the experienced surfers. It’s a bit too much punch for the beginners, but for the rest of us, it’s going to be special.

Now, hold onto your board, because the next big one is a beast. Saturday, September 12th is looking massive. Both morning and afternoon are serving up a solid 13ft SSW swell. The period is 18 seconds in the morning, dropping to 17 in the arvo. The wind is a clean cross-offshore from the southeast at 19 mph. The wave energy is through the roof (10460 in the morning). This is big, powerful, groundswell. It’s not for the faint of heart – this is expert territory only. The crowds at Corvette can be a thing sometimes, but on a day like this, the size alone will thin the pack out to those who mean business. The long period means it’ll be lining up beautifully on this reef, but be ready for long lulls between sets.

The following week has a few more promising moments. Wednesday morning, September 16th brings a solid 10ft swell from the S, with a clean 14-second period and moderate cross-off wind. That’s another good one for the experienced crew. Then, Friday morning, September 18th looks like a fun, clean option with a 6ft S swell and a long 16-second period, perfect for a solid session without the absolute chaos.

For the beginners, the smaller stuff around the 3ft to 4ft mark later in the window (like the 19th) could be a goer, but the wind is a bit stronger then, so it won’t be as pristine. The real magic is in those bigger, cleaner days.

So, to sum it up: the 6th is a cracker, but the 12th is the one you clear your calendar for. Just make sure you’ve got the skill to handle 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.
