The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Corvette.
The next couple of weeks start off pretty quiet. Wednesday the 12th has tiny, glassy 1ft to 1.0ft SSW swell with a very long 19-second period, but it’s just too small to get excited about. The water temp is sitting at 72°, which is about normal for this time of year.
Thursday the 13th sees a bit more push, with 3ft SW swell, but the wind goes cross-on and it gets messy. Honestly, from Wednesday through to Friday the 14th, the conditions are ordinary at best, with building onshore winds and choppy surf. Nothing worth paddling out for.
Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th offer a bit of hope. The swell picks up to 5ft to 6ft from the SSW with periods around 8 to 16 seconds, and the winds are clean cross-offshore. The combined swell energy is moderate to strong (594 to 1462), but the scores are still just marginal. It’s rideable, but it’s not lighting any fires.
Now, the real standout comes in the middle of the week. Wednesday the 19th is the best on offer. You’ve got a 6ft SSW swell in the morning, clean offshore wind from the East, and the conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. By the afternoon, the swell jumps to a solid 10ft from the SE with a period of 9 seconds, still with offshore wind. The combined energy is strong (1455). That’s proper, heavy reef break territory – only for those with the skills, as it’s well over 8ft. Thursday the 20th follows up with 7ft ESE swell, also with offshore winds. This is the window.
The first couple of days of the second week look to fade. Friday the 21st and Saturday the 22nd turn average, with onshore winds and messy conditions. Swell drops off through Sunday the 23rd and into the next week, with waves shrinking to under 3ft by the 24th and 25th. The last few days of the outlook are very small and mostly poor, with only a tiny glassy moment on Wednesday the 26th with 2ft SE swell.
Bottom line: The main event is Wednesday the 19th and Thursday the 20th. Hit that window for the best, cleanest, and biggest swell. Everything else is either too small or too messy.
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.
