The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s coming down the pipe for this stretch. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, so we’ll take it session by session.
Right off the bat, we’ve got some solid size rolling in. We’re looking at a solid 8 ft to 8 ft groundswell from the SSW on Wednesday the 2nd, with a really nice long period of 14 seconds. The combined energy is cranking at 2606 (moderate to strong), but the wind is a cross-offshore breeze at 12 to 16 mph. That means clean walls, but it’s not perfect. The water’s sitting at 72°, which is bang on average for this time of year. This is serious swell, over the 8 ft mark, so this one is strictly for the experienced crew. It’s got that long-period punch, perfect for the reef setup at Corvette, but it will be a handful.
The real standout, the one that’s got me waking up early, is Thursday morning the 3rd. The wind drops right out to a whisper at only 3 mph, dead cross-off, giving you glassy, clean conditions. Swell has dropped a touch to 7 ft from the SSW, still at a lovely 13-second period. The energy is still beefy at 1494 (moderate). This is the window. Excellent, clean surf for those who know what they’re doing. Still a bit too much grunt for the beginners.
After that, things start to wind down and get messy. Friday the 4th sees the swell dropping fast, and by the afternoon a fresh breeze of 22 mph chops things up. The weekend of the 5th and 6th is a write-off for quality surf – we’ve got onshore winds and poor conditions, with a tiny, weak leftover swell. It’s a couple of days to give the board a rest.
There’s a glimmer on Sunday the 6th afternoon where we get a pulse of 7 ft at 14 seconds, but that fresh breeze spoils the party. Then we get a long, flat spell of marginal dribble and onshore slop right through until the second week. The energy just drops into the very weak range.
Now, for the brave, there is a raw, powerful pulse forecast to show up on September 12th (Saturday). We’re talking a massive 12 ft SSW swell at 17 seconds. The combined energy is a monstrous 6537 (very strong). This is big, heavy ocean. But – and it’s a huge but – the wind is howling cross-onshore at 16 mph, making it messy and dangerous. This is really only for the absolute top-tier charger on a big day, or frankly, it looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. I’d leave the board on the sand for this one. It cleans up a little by the afternoon but it’s still a battle.
The final week offers a little relief. Sunday the 13th morning looks the best of the late period, with a clean 6 ft from the SSW under light cross-shore winds. It’s small, but it’s surfable. The rest of the run is just fading, weak leftovers. The 16th and 17th are basically a bust with onshore winds and barely a ripple.
Best Bet: Thursday morning, 3rd of September. Get on it. The stand-out clean conditions on a solid swinger of a swell.
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.
