The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
We’ve only got one spot on the menu for this 16-day stretch: Corvette. It’s a reef break, so you’re looking at a proper wave with some shape to it, but this forecast is a bit of a mixed bag.
The run starts off on the quiet side. Monday morning, September 7th, is actually the first taste of the good stuff. The ocean is glassy, with a clean 3ft SSW swell rolling in. The period is a very long 17 seconds, so this is proper groundswell with serious energy (combined energy of 887). The water is sitting at 72°, which is about normal for this time of year. That morning is special – clean, lined-up waves for the intermediate crew. It’s your best bet for a really fun session.
From there, things get messy. That clean glass gives way to winds that swing around and mess up the surface. The next few days, right through to the following Friday, are looking pretty average to poor. The wind is either cross, cross-on, or just too strong, and the wave quality drops off. It’s a bit of a rough patch.
But hold on to your leash, because the real action comes in the second week. The standout is Saturday, September 12th. We’ve got a solid 12ft SSW swell, with a period of 17-18 seconds. That’s a lot of water moving with a massive combined energy of 7806. The wind is offshore and clean from the SE, which will keep those faces nice and smooth. This is a big-wave day, strictly for the experts – anything over 8ft is no joke. Alternatively, Saturday, September 19th is another huge one to circle on the calendar. It’s showing a 15ft SSW swell with a 15-second period and massive combined energy of 9250. Again, offshore winds from the ESE. This is proper, heavy, powerful reef surf. It looks incredible, but it’s a long way out, so keep your fingers crossed.
In between those big Saturday pulses, the surf drops back to a more manageable size, around 6ft to 8ft, but it stays clean with those offshore winds. It’s consistent, so you won’t be twiddling your thumbs.
Oh, and watch the crowds at Corvette. It says they can show up *sometimes*, so if you hit that Monday morning glass-off, you might have it more to yourself. On the big Saturday peaks, expect a few more frothers in the water.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
