The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's shaping up at Corvette for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, don't get too excited for the start of this run. Monday the 24th and Tuesday the 25th are pretty much a write-off. We've got a fresh breeze out of the east with cross-off winds, but the surf is just not cooperating. Monday is flat and messy, and Tuesday sees some building swell but the conditions are just average. It’s a slow start.
Things start to look a little better come Thursday the 29th morning. We’ve got some consistent SSW swell rolling in at 4ft, with a solid 15-second period, which is proper groundswell. The wind shifts offshore out of the east, and that’s a major positive – it’ll keep the waves clean. The combined energy is sitting at 891 (moderate). It’s still a bit marginal overall, but that’s the first window where you might find a few decent ones if you're patient.
Now, the standout window is Friday the 30th morning. This is the one to pencil in. The swell drops a bit to 3ft from the SSW, but the period is still a nice 13 seconds. But the real hero here is the wind: it goes glassy – absolutely dead calm. That means the surface will be like a mirror. The combined energy is at 410 (moderate), and for a reef break like Corvette that likes that SSW direction, this is prime. It's not going to be big, but it'll be clean, lined up, and a joy to surf. It might be a little inconsistent given the smaller size, but the quality will be there for a morning session.
After that, we roll into some mixed conditions. The first week of September has a bit more size but also more wind. Wednesday the 2nd September pumps up to 7ft in the morning and 8ft in the afternoon from the south, with a 14 to 16-second period. The combined energy gets up to 2791 and 2903 (strong to very strong), so there's plenty of push. That's expert territory with that size though, and the cross-off wind from the east will keep it clean, but it's going to be a handful.
The tail end of the forecast, around the 4th and 5th of September, shows a drop back in size but with some better wind again. Friday the 4th afternoon has a clean offshore flow from the east with a 5ft SSW swell and a long 15-second period. The energy is still moderate (1423). That’s another nice, cleaner option.
Overall, the best bet is that glassy Friday 30th morning. Small but perfect. The big stuff on the 2nd will be for the chargers only. The rest is mostly a game of waiting for the wind to play ball. Crowds at Corvette can happen, but on a Friday morning with that size, you might get a little peace.
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.
