Corvette Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, let’s get into it. We’ve got a solid run of groundswell on the way for Corvette (reef), with the best stuff sitting right at the edges of the forecast.

The first call is for Monday the 20th. Swell is already pumping from the SSW at 5 ft with a very long period of 18 seconds, wrapping into this exposed reef. The combined energy is strong at (2178), so there’s plenty of punch. Monday morning has a moderate east-northeast offshore breeze, which will keep things clean. By the afternoon, the wind drops to glassy (3 mph from the east) and the swell eases slightly to 4 ft, with that same long period. That’s a sweet window for an intermediate surfer, though the wave energy means it’s for experienced folks only.

The real standout? Without a doubt, Saturday the 1st of August. This one's a big one. You’re looking at 12 ft of SSW groundswell pushing in with a 14-second period. The combined energy is huge, reading (8230) in the afternoon. That’s serious power. Morning winds from the east-northeast at 12 mph keep it offshore and clean. This is expert territory – over 8 ft, this reef will be charging. Not for the faint-hearted, but for the crew who can handle it, this is the best of the lot.

There’s also a very strong follow-up on Sunday the 2nd, with 10 ft SSW swell and glassy conditions (NW 3 mph) in the morning. The numbers are big (3424), but the wind is perfect. This is another top session for experienced surfers, though keep in mind the period is still 14 seconds – a groundswell that will line up nicely on this reef.

Earlier in the run, Monday the 27th has another 8 ft SSW swell with that 14-second period, clean with a south-easterly cross-offshore breeze, but it’s not quite the standout due to the wind being a little less perfect than the glassy days.

Beyond that, the last week of July has some smaller, cleaner days, like Thursday the 30th with 3 ft SE swell and a moderate offshore, but it’s not going to get the heart racing after that first week of August. The end of the run on Monday the 3rd of August has another 8 ft SSW groundswell with glassy conditions – worth a look if you missed the big one.

Water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing wild to note. Crowds are sometimes a factor at Corvette, so on the clean, peaky days, you might have some company.

The big takeaway: Saturday the 1st of August is the heavy hitter, and Sunday the 2nd morning is a glassy bonus for the brave. If it’s too big for you, the Monday the 20th afternoon glass-off session is a solid, more manageable option.

Rusty.
