The Lowdown
Alright, my friends, Rusty here. Let’s cut through the noise. The next couple of weeks at Corvette are not going to be a walk in the park. We've got some swell, but the first few days are pretty much a bust. The wind is all over the place and the waves are small and junky.
Monday the 10th, we've got a weak 3ft of ESE swell with a short 9-second period, but the cross-offshore breeze is just making it a mess. The energy is weak (191). Tuesday the 11th, it drops to 3ft, still junky. Wednesday the 12th, the size drops off a cliff to about 2ft, but we get a glimpse of something long-period (19s) from the SW. The wind goes glassy in the morning, which is a blessing, but the size just isn't there. It's rideable, but nothing to write home about.
Things start to build for Friday the 14th, with 6ft of SW swell, but the wind pipes up to a fresh 30 km/h cross-on, turning it into a lumpy mess. The energy is strong (1288), but the quality is zero. Saturday the 15th is the same story – 6ft of SSW swell, but a cross-shore wind is chopping it up. A lot of energy (1145), but it's a battle.
Okay, listen up, because this is the one. Sunday the 16th and Monday the 17th. We've got a solid 6ft of SSW groundswell, but the period jumps to 17-18 seconds. This is a proper, long-period groundswell – the kind that makes your heart beat a little faster. The wind, while still from the SE, is cross-offshore. The energy is very strong (2696) and the surf is going to be clean. This is the window. The size is pushing 6ft, so it's a bit chunky for the groms, but for the rest of us, this is where it's at. This long-period swell at a reef break like Corvette is going to be proper. The direction is SSW, right in the sweet spot.
After that, the swell backs off and the period drops. The following week has some waves in the 4-5ft range, but it's mostly SE windswell with shorter periods. The wind stays cross-offshore which keeps it clean, but it loses all that power and shape. It's marginal at best. The wind turns onshore again around the 21st and 22nd, and it looks pretty grim.
So here's the deal: don't waste your energy until the weekend. The standout is Sunday the 16th and Monday the 17th. That's your window. After that, it's a bit of a lull. Not a complete blank, but you have to be selective.
Water temp is around 71°, which is about average for this time of year.
Alright, I'm out. See you in the water on Sunday. 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.
