The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, looking at Corvette. Let’s break it down in feet and miles.
Water temp is about normal for the season, nothing crazy.
The first real action is Sunday, September 6th. Morning has a solid 7 ft SSW groundswell with a super long 16-second period, and the energy is pumping (1924). Wind is a moderate offshore from the E, keeping it clean. That’s big for the crew with experience only. Afternoon wind picks up to a fresh breeze from the ESE, still cross-off, but the period drops to 14 seconds.
Monday the 7th is a dud. Swell drops under 3 ft, and the wind is onshore or cross.
Tuesday the 8th morning goes glassy with a 3 ft SSW swell at 15 seconds, but it’s small. Afternoon turns poor.
Wednesday the 9th and Thursday the 10th are messy. Cross-onshore wind and junk. Stay home.
Friday the 11th is a sneaky good one. Small on the face (3 ft to 4 ft), but the period is 20-22 seconds, which is very long. The energy is solid (1340 to 2053). The wind is a clean cross-off from the SE. It’ll be beautiful, clean lines at the reef. Good for intermediates.
Now, the big one. Saturday, September 12th. The morning is a monster 13 ft SSW groundswell with a 17-second period and energy of 9148. Wind is a moderate cross-off from the SE. That’s expert-only territory, but it’s clean. The afternoon stays at 12 ft.
Sunday the 13th and Monday the 14th keep the swell at 8 to 12 ft, clean, but with a fresher wind.
The second week has a lot of energy, but the wind is a constant, strong cross-off from the ESE to E, blowing 15 to 25 mph. The swell stays big, with another standout on Friday, September 18th (13 ft S swell, 15 seconds, 7836 energy) and Sunday, September 20th (12 ft S swell, 18 seconds, 6759 energy). All clean, all for experts.
The best in the window is easily Saturday the 12th and Friday the 18th. The 12th wins for the massive size, long period, and lighter wind. The 18th is a close second. If you’ve got the skills, you’ll be in for a treat.
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.
