The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a proper look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks. We're only looking at one spot this time around, so it's all or nothing.

The outlook starts on Friday the 11th, and it's not much to write home about. We've got a long-period SSW groundswell rolling in, 4ft but with a period of 21 seconds, which is a very long period. That kind of swell on a reef like Corvette can be special, but the wind is a mess – a fresh cross-shore from the SSE at 22 mph is just chopping it all up. The water temp is 72°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year. The combined swell energy is weak at 2045, and the conditions are just poor. Forget it.

Saturday the 12th is where the action really kicks off. Saturday morning is the big moment. The swell jumps up to a solid 12ft from the SSW, with a period of 17 seconds – proper groundswell energy. The wind is offshore and cross-offshore from the SE at 19 mph, which means clean, groomed faces. The combined energy is very strong at 7581. This is big, powerful surf over 8ft, so this is for experienced surfers only. If you've got the skills, Saturday morning is the standout of the whole outlook. Saturday afternoon is still 12ft, but the energy drops a touch, still clean though.

Sunday the 13th holds decent with 7-10ft SSW/S swell, still clean under east to ESE winds. This continues into Monday the 14th with consistent 10ft SSW groundswell and clean conditions in the morning, though the wind is a bit firmer at 22 mph. The energy on Monday morning is very strong again (8512).

Things start to settle from Tuesday the 15th through Wednesday the 16th, with dropping swell from 7ft down to 3ft. The winds stay clean and cross-offshore, but the energy fades right down. By Wednesday afternoon it's back to poor surf.

Thursday the 17th is a write-off – tiny, onshore, messy.

Then we get a pulse back on Friday the 18th with 10ft SSW swell, but the wind is cross-shore and lumpy, ruining the quality. The energy is strong (3865), but the conditions are poor, so it's a miss. This pattern of good swell with poor wind hangs around for Saturday the 19th.

From Sunday the 20th through the end of the outlook, we see a lot of clean, cross-offshore conditions with moderate to fresh ESE winds, and swell sizes bouncing between 3ft and 10ft. The kicker is on Sunday the 20th when we see another solid 10ft SSW groundswell with clean conditions and very strong energy (5399). This is another good session for experienced surfers, but it's still a week and a half away, so don't get too attached to the forecast yet. The rest of the week is smaller, 4 to 7ft, clean but nothing to get overly excited about.

To sum it up: if you're an experienced surfer, Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 20th are your targets for the biggest, cleanest groundswell. The wait for a decent wave is worth it.

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.
