Hey folks, Rusty here. Well, I’ve looked over the next 16 days and honestly, this stretch is gonna test your patience. There’s no stand-out, world-class swell on the cards, but if you’re keen for a paddle, there are a couple of moments that could offer a bit of fun.

Corvette is the only break I’ve got spec for, a reef setup that works best on a SSW direction. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there. The first week is pretty grim. We start on Monday, July 13th, with a weak, short-period SE swell pushing through, but the east wind is howling at 16 mph, cross-off. Sure, it’s clean, but the wave size is tiny at 4 ft and the combined energy is a weak 457. It’s a no-go for me. That pattern pretty much sticks for days. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday are all a write-off with either poor conditions or marginal surf thanks to that relentless east wind. The swell just doesn’t have any push to it. The energy readings stay low, mostly in the hundreds until the 16th when it starts to climb, but the wind spins around to the SSE, putting a cross-shore chop on the water. Not pretty.

Thursday morning, July 16th, the swell picks up to 5 ft with a nice 15-second period from the SSW, making it a proper groundswell. The combined energy cracks 1152, so there’s some power, but that cross-shore wind is creating a slight chop, keeping the score down. Friday the 17th, the wind swings onshore from the WSW, and the surface goes to crap. Saturday the 18th is a similar story – light cross-onshore winds with a long-period SSW swell around 3 ft. It’s not terrible, but it’s not good either.

The second week starts tough. Sunday the 19th, the swell mixes up but the onshore wind kills it. The 20th gets a decent spike in energy (2284) with a 6 ft SSE swell, but it’s a strong onshore wind, so forget it. Then we get a big dump of short-period swell on the 21st and 22nd, with wave heights hitting 10 ft and 7 ft, but the wind is screaming cross-onshore at 25 mph and 19 mph. That’s a total mess – the set-up looks more interesting for kite-surfing than paddle surfing. The energy readings are huge (up to 2019), but the quality is zero. The 23rd and 24th see the swell holding around 7 ft from the SE with a period of 11-12 seconds. The wind stays light to moderate cross-shore, so there’s some shape, but it’s still got that lumpy chop. It’s marginal, but a more experienced surfer might find a corner.

Now, here’s the bright spot. Look at Saturday, July 25th. This is the one to circle. The morning is glassy, absolute butter, with a solid 6 ft ESE swell (12-second period) and the energy is a strong 1587. The afternoon is even better: glassy again, with a 7 ft ESE swell, period 11 seconds, and the energy jumps to 2422. These are “excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers” numbers. The swell direction matches the optimum SSW, so it should be hitting the reef nicely. The wave size is over 5 ft, so it’s a bit much for beginners, but for the crew who can handle it, this is going to be the pick of the entire forecast. The water will be clean, the waves have good energy, and it’s a true standout. The next day, Sunday the 26th, is still decent with 4 ft ESE swell and glassy conditions in the morning, but it’s a step down. Monday the 27th also looks fun with 3 ft glassy conditions and a 12-second ESE swell (energy 645). Then it fades out.

So, for the whole 16 days, the only true window is that weekend of the 25th and 26th of July. The first week and a half are a total write-off. After the 27th, it drops off a cliff again. Don’t get your hopes up for anything else. Stay patient, and mark that Saturday in your calendar.

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.
