The Lowdown
Alright, let’s have a look at the next couple of weeks. It’s gonna be a bit of a mixed bag, with one clear highlight and a lot of small, clean days where you’ll be glad you brought a log.
The standout is tomorrow morning, the 18th of August. We’re looking at a solid 8ft of south swell, with a long 15-second period that’s got plenty of grunt. The energy is strong, reading at 6485. A fresh east-southeast breeze will keep it a bit lumpy, but the faces should be clean. Water temp is 72°F, which is normal for this time of year. If you get one session in this fortnight, make it this one.
From the 19th, it starts fading. The swell drops to 7ft and then down to 5ft on Thursday, with the period dropping too. The energy falls off a cliff, and while it stays offshore, it’s just not doing much. Friday the 21st might offer a brief bounce to 6ft, but with an 8-second period, it’ll be a mess.
The weekend looks poor. Saturday and Sunday are small and weak, with very little energy. The waves will be closing out and messy, not worth your time.
Then we hit a proper flat spell from the 23rd of August for about a week. There are a couple of small pulses, but the energy is weak. Around the 25th, there’s 6ft of SSW groundswell with a decent 15-second period, but the energy is still a fraction of the 18th. It’s a promise of what's not quite there.
The 26th and 27th are interesting because the wind drops out to almost nothing. The swell is small, around 4ft, but it will be glassy. That could be a fun day for a longboard if you can find a bank.
The first couple of days of September are nearly flat, but the models are hinting at a bit of a pulse for the 2nd. A 5ft SSW swell is showing with a bit more energy. It’s a long way off, so treat it with caution, but it might be something to look forward to.
So, tomorrow morning is the one. The rest of the time, it’s about chasing the cleanest, smallest conditions. Don't get bummed out by the flat spell; it happens, and the ocean always comes back.

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.
