Corvette Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. The only break showing up in the 16-day window is Corvette, a reef setup that’s fairly consistent and exposed to the swell. The water temperature is sitting at 72.5°F with a tiny positive anomaly of 0.4°F, so pretty average for this time of year.

This forecast starts with a bit of a slow grind. Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th are pretty ordinary. On Thursday morning you’ve got 6.6ft of SE swell, but with a cross-off E wind at 19 mph, and combined wave energy at 910, it’s just marginal. Thursday afternoon bumps up to 6.9ft from the ESE with even more energy (1492), but the wind is still a fresh cross-off. Friday morning drops to 3.6ft and the wind flips to a light cross-on from the W, which isn’t ideal, and by the afternoon the swell period shortens to 8 seconds. That’s weak.

Saturday the 25th is small – only 2.6ft in the morning from the SE with a bit of a cross-off breeze, but it’s clean. That said, it’s tiny. The afternoon gets weird: 1.6ft but with a 17-second period from the SSW – that’s a long-period groundswell, but it’s just too small to do much at a reef.

Now, Sunday the 26th is where things get interesting. You’ve got 11.5ft of SSW groundswell in the morning, period 15 seconds, and the combined energy is massive at 5258. That’s serious energy. The wind is cross-off from the SE at 16 mph, so it’s clean. But look – that’s 11.5ft on a reef. This is for experienced surfers only. Not a beginner wave. The swell direction (SSW) matches the optimum direction from the guidance (SSW), so it’s lining up. Sunday afternoon is still 9.8ft with 14-second period and 4408 energy – still big, still clean.

Monday the 27th holds onto some size: 7.2ft in the morning and 8.2ft in the afternoon, both from the SSW, periods around 13-14 seconds, cross-off wind, but the energy drops to around 2100-2200. Still a solid day for experienced guys.

Tuesday the 28th drops a notch: 7.2ft from the S in the morning, 6.2ft in the afternoon, periods still around 12 seconds, but the wind is a moderate cross-off from the ESE. The energy is around 1100-1500, so more moderate.

Wednesday the 29th drops further to 3.6ft in the morning, and the afternoon sees a fresh offshore from the E at 22 mph – that’s a clean offshore but the swell is small. The period jumps to 14 seconds in the afternoon, so there’s some groundswell character, but it’s just 3.0ft.

Thursday the 30th is similar: 3.3ft all day, large period (14s), fresh offshore from the ENE. Clean but small.

Now, here’s a standout window. Friday the 31st of July. Morning shows 4.3ft from the SSW, period a very long 16 seconds, and the wind is glassy – outright glassy from the NE at 3 mph. That’s a major positive. The combined energy is 1093, so moderate energy, but with that long period and glassy conditions, this reef is going to be clean and lined up. The afternoon keeps the 4.3ft, 16-second period, with a light offshore from the ENE. Experienced surfers will love this. This is probably the best looking day in the whole run.

Saturday the 1st of August still has 4.3ft in the morning but the wind picks up to a moderate offshore from the ENE at 16 mph. The afternoon bumps to 7.2ft from the SSW, 14-second period, fresh offshore, and energy hits 2654. That’s a solid afternoon for the more experienced.

Sunday the 2nd of August: morning brings glassy conditions again – wind from the SSE at 3 mph, 7.2ft from the SSW, period 12 seconds, energy 1574. That’s another standout session. Glassy, clean, and a decent size. The afternoon turns cross-on though, so grab the morning.

After that, Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th are bigger (6.6-7.9ft) but the wind gets cross or cross-on, and there’s some rain around. Not the cleanest.

Wednesday the 5th of August looks good again: morning has 6.2ft from the S, period 10 seconds, gentle cross-off wind, clean. The afternoon goes to 4.6ft but with an 18-second period – very long period groundswell – and energy at 1880. That’s an interesting mix, but that long period on a reef should produce some nice lines.

Thursday the 6th stays clean with light winds and 3
