The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for this spot. It’s a bit of a slow burn, but there’s a clean window if you’re patient.
The next few days are a write-off, honestly. Tuesday the 28th of July and Wednesday the 29th are a no-go. We’ve got a solid 7ft of south swell on Tuesday, but with a stiff 15 to 18 mph cross-off easterly wind, it’s just messy and blown out. The energy is there (1562) but it’s not delivering. Wednesday drops off fast, and the wind is still strong. Don’t bother.
Now, hold on for Thursday the 30th of July. That’s the standout. Corvette (reef) wakes up. Early morning, we’ve got a clean 3ft of swell out of the SE, with a long 13-second period—that’s proper groundswell. The wind is light offshore from the ENE at 9 mph. That’s glassy, clean, and the wave energy is moderate (1028). The water is sitting at 72°, which is bang on average for the time of year, so no surprises there. This is the best of the whole forecast. The swell direction (SE) is a touch off the optimum (SSW), but the quality of the conditions more than makes up for it. Friday the 31st of July stays clean with lighter winds and a 3ft SSW swell, but it’s not quite as punchy.
Heads up for Saturday the 1st of August—steer clear. The wind swings southerly, howling at 21 mph, straight onshore. It’s a mess. Sunday the 2nd of August sees a bigger pulse of S swell, around 8ft to 8ft, with energy climbing to 3028. That’s a lot of power. The wind is still cross-off, so it’s clean, but at 8ft, this is expert territory only. It’s a heavy, powerful reef wave, and the period is 13 seconds, so expect long, waiting sets. That’s a big call for anyone but the experienced.
After that, the second week is a bit of a question mark. The swell drops back to around 3ft to 4ft for a few days, with long periods (16-18 seconds) but strong cross-off winds. The consistency is poor, and the quality is marginal. There’s a flicker of hope on Wednesday the 12th of August, with a morning offshore wind from the ENE and a clean 6ft SE swell. It’s a long way out, but that could be a nice reset if the wind holds.
Overall, your best bet is Thursday the 30th of July. Early, clean, and offshore. That’s the one.

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.
