The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s coming up for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, for the first few days it’s going to be a bit of a grind. We’ve got some size around, but the wind is messy and the surf quality is poor. Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th are write-offs – lumpy, cross-onshore junk. Monday the 31st cleans up a touch with a cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is small and weak, with moderate energy (657 to 701). It’s marginal at best.
The real standout of the entire outlook is Tuesday, the 1st of September. That morning, we’ve got a solid 8ft SSW groundswell rolling in with a very long 18-second period. The combined energy is strong at 3585. The wind is a clean cross-offshore breeze from the SE. That’s a recipe for proper shaped waves with plenty of punch. This is big for an intermediate crew – over 8ft in the afternoon (8ft, 16 seconds) pushes it into expert-only territory, so get on it early. This is the pick of the fortnight.
The swell hangs on through Wednesday the 2nd and Thursday the 3rd, still 7ft to 8ft with 14-second period, and clean cross-off winds. Energy stays moderate to strong (1798 to 2441). Good, solid surf, but not quite the peak of Tuesday.
By Friday the 4th, it drops off fast – down to 5ft and weaker. Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th are small and weak, mostly poor or marginal. Then, the second standout window appears on Monday, the 7th of September. The swell picks back up to 6ft from the SSW with a long 14-second period. The wind shifts light and offshore from the ENE in the afternoon, turning it glassy. The morning is clean with only a slight air. This is a fantastic, more manageable size with excellent conditions. It’s the second-best day on offer.
From Tuesday the 8th onward, it fades fast. We get a few small, clean glassy mornings on the 9th and 10th, but the swell is tiny (2ft to 2ft), not worth getting excited about. The 11th looks messy and blown out again. The 12th and 13th see a late pulse of 8ft to 10ft S swell, but the wind is only cross-off, and the size is big, making it more of a challenge than a joy.
So, to sum it up: the two true standouts are Tuesday the 1st of September for size and power, and Monday the 7th for clean, surfable conditions. Don’t waste your energy on the first weekend or the middle of 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.
