The Lowdown

Alright, mates, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, so pay attention.

We start off with a bit of a flat spell. The first few days are pretty average, with some cross-offshore breeze mucking things up. The swell is there, but it’s not organized, and the wind is just strong enough to keep things lumpy. You’ll see waves in the 5ft to 6ft range, but it’s not going to be great. The energy is moderate, but the quality just isn't there. It’s a wait-and-see kind of vibe.

Then, we hit a bit of a lull. From the 20th through the 24th, things get pretty weak, with wave heights dropping off. It's not a full stop, but the surf is poor and the wind, while cross-offshore, is not doing us any favors. This looks like a good time to get other things sorted. The energy in the water is dropping off, and it just isn't worth the paddle.

But hold on, because things start to turn around by the end of the week. The 25th sees a new SSW groundswell starting to push in, with a period of 14-15 seconds. That's the good stuff. The wind is still cross-offshore, but it's cleaner. The energy is building back up to a strong range (1347 combined energy). Then comes the standout. Wednesday the 26th and Thursday the 27th are the days to keep clear. The wind goes glassy in the morning, the swell is a solid 5ft to 6ft from the SSW, periods are in that 14-16 second range, and the energy is strong. This is excellent surf, clean and powerful. This is what we've been waiting for. The water temp is about 72°, which is normal for this time of year.

After that, the swell starts to fade. The 28th and 29th are still rideable, with clean conditions and smaller swell, but the magic is gone. By the 30th and 31st, the wind turns onshore and things get messy. It's a poor end to the run, with choppy, cross-onshore waves. The first of September looks similar, so don't get your hopes up for that final stretch.

The real highlight is that 26th-27th window. The long period, clean glassy conditions, and solid size make it the only true standout in the whole forecast.

Rusty, out.

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.
