The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s cooking at Corvette. It’s a bit of a mixed forecast, but there are a couple of sessions worth paddling out for.
Water temp is about 72°F, which is normal for this time of year, so no need for a steamer if you’re used to it.
We start out with some bumpy, wind-affected surf through Wednesday and into Thursday morning. The real gem in the first week is Thursday morning, July 30th. We’re looking at offshore wind (ENE at 19 mph) cleaning up 4ft waves out of the SE with a long 13-second period. The combined energy is moderate at 776, but with that offshore breeze, the waves will be clean and well-shaped. It’s not the ideal direction, but the wind quality makes it a standout. Crowds are only “sometimes,” so you might find a bit of space.
Friday the 31st gets smaller: 3 to 3ft SSW swell with a very long 14-second period. The wind turns cross-off, so it stays clean but loses some punch.
The weekend gets rowdy. Saturday, August 1st is a write-off: cross-onshore wind and a building swell hitting 7ft by the afternoon with strong energy (2025). That’s hefty and messy. Sunday, August 2nd, through Monday the 3rd brings a serious pulse: 10 to 12ft S swell with a 13-second period and very strong energy (3241 to 3981). The wind is cross-off, so the faces will be clean. But at over 10ft, this is strictly for experts. Sunday morning is the heavy standout in the whole run if you’ve got the nerve.
After that, it fades fast. From August 4th through the 12th, the swell drops and wind gets ugly—mostly cross or cross-on, creating lumpy, choppy conditions. There’s a tiny window on Wednesday, August 12th: a small 5ft SSW groundswell (15-second period) with a light cross-breeze (6 mph). It’s marginal but might be worth a look. The rest of that week is tiny and wind-blown, with waves from 1 to 4ft and poor wind.
So, the best bet for a clean, fun session is Thursday morning, July 30th. If you’re an expert after something big, Sunday morning, August 2nd is the call. After that, it’s a long stretch of poor conditions from the 4th through the 13th. Standard summer pattern—grab it while you can.
Stay stoked,
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.
