The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s shaping up for Corvette over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, so let’s get into it.
First up, the water temp is sitting at 72°, right on the money for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.
We’ve got a bit of a wait for anything decent. The first few days are marginal at best. Wednesday the 26th is a write-off with a fresh cross-off breeze and weak, short-period swell. Thursday the 27th morning is where we finally see a glimmer, with a clean 4ft SSW groundswell (15 seconds) and offshore wind. The combined energy is moderate (930), and it’s rideable, but it’s not going to set the world on fire. Thursday afternoon stays clean but drops a touch. Friday and Saturday look pretty average, with onshore wind and choppy conditions, so I’d give those a miss.
Now, let’s talk about the standout. If you can wait, Monday the 1st of September is the one to circle. We’ve got a proper pulse of strong SSW groundswell, pushing 8ft in the morning and 8ft in the afternoon, with a very long period of 18 seconds. The wave energy is pumping hard (4002 to 4285), and it’s staying clean under a fresh cross-off breeze. This is serious swell – definitely expert territory at over 8ft. That long period will make for proper heavy lines, so Corvette’s reef setup should handle it well, but it’ll be a handful. Crowds are always a possibility here, so get in early.
The following days through to the 5th of September see the swell fade back to smaller, cleaner, but less exciting 3ft to 4ft surf. By the 8th of September, we get another clean window with offshore winds and a clean 3ft SSW groundswell – very user-friendly. Then on the 10th of September, we get a real treat: a glassy morning with 3ft SSW swell on a 13-second period. That’s about as clean as it gets, and it’s a decent option for all levels.
Overall, the big winner is that Monday September 1st swell for the experts, and the glassy Thursday September 10th morning is a beaut for anyone wanting clean, manageable waves.
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.
