Table - best surf conditions forecast for Corvette over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the pipe for Corvette.
We’re looking at a pretty wild ride over the next couple of weeks. It kicks off with a big, messy pulse of swell, so we’ve got to be patient. The first few days are a write-off for a decent paddle. Thursday the 9th has a solid 10-foot SSW swell rolling in, but that 15 mph cross-on wind has it chopped up and ugly. The combined energy is massive (2506), but it’s all for nothing with that wind. We’re in a holding pattern.
Friday the 10th is still a bit of a struggle. The swell holds at 10 feet from the S, but the wind is cross, and the surf is marginal at best. The energy is still pumping (2802), but it’s not user-friendly. This is big stuff, over 8 feet, so it’s strictly for the crew who are really dialled in.
The Standout – Saturday morning the 11th is where it’s at. The swell drops to a more manageable 6 feet from the S, but the wind goes glassy—just a whisper from the WSW at 3 mph. That’s the green light. The water temp is 73°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year. The wave energy is still strong (1777), and with that glassy surface, the reef will be clean and chunky. This is the best of the bunch for the near-term. The crowd factor is "sometimes", so you might have to share, but it’ll be worth it.
After that, we get a drop-off. Sunday the 12th has cleaner conditions with some cross-off wind, but the swell drops to 3 to 3 feet. The energy fades (814), and it’s just not enough to get excited about, even with a very long 18-second period. The rest of the week into the middle of the month is a bit of a flat spell, with a few small pulses and mostly clean but weak surf. The wind swings offshore a few times, but the swell is just too small to do much with.
Looking further out, there’s a flicker of hope. Thursday the 16th has another glassy morning with a 3-foot SSW swell and a 17-second period, and the energy is moderate (640). It’s clean, but it’s small. The Saturday the 18th afternoon has a 4-foot SW swell with a nice 13-second period, light winds, and the energy picks up to 825. That could be a fun little session.
Then the wheels come off again. The last week of the forecast gets hammered by strong onshore WNW winds and a lot of lumpy, messy swell. The 20th and 21st see 7 to 8-foot swells, but the wind is howling at 22-28 mph, making it a total mess. The energy is high (over 2000), but it’s all cross-on and choppy. This is more of a kite-surfing setup than a clean paddle session. A big 12-foot pulse hits on the 24th, but again, the wind is onshore and ruining it.
So, the play is pretty clear: get out there on Saturday the 11th morning for the best shot at clean, solid waves. The rest of the long-range stuff is either too small or too windy to be a sure thing. It’s a patchy forecast, but that one morning is a gem.
Stay stoked.

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.
