The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with the lowdown on what's cooking at Corvette. It's a reef break that's fairly consistent, so it's a spot that can get real good when the conditions line up.
Looking over the next couple of weeks, we've got a slow start, but then some serious juice shows up. The water temp is sitting at 72°, which is pretty standard for this time of year. The best action is going to be a big pulse a few days out, and then another one right at the end of the forecast.
Thursday the 10th is a total washout. Onshore chop makes it useless.
Friday the 11th is even worse. The swell's trying, but with 22 mph winds making a mess and rain showers, it's just nasty. The combined energy is a huge 1853 in the morning and 3224 in the afternoon, but with that wind, you're wasting your time. Honestly, with that kind of wind and chop, this looks more fun for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Now, Saturday the 12th is where it's at. This is the one to circle. The swell hits a solid 12 ft from the SSW with a period of 17 seconds. That's a long-period groundswell with a combined energy of 7183 – a ton of power. The wind is a clean cross-off from the ESE at 19 mph. It's still a fresh breeze, but it's off the land, keeping the waves clean. This is expert-only territory. At 12 ft, this is for the experienced crew. This is the clear standout for the first week.
Sunday the 13th stays solid at 8 ft to 10 ft with similar clean conditions. Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th keep that clean cross-off wind with waves in the 7 ft to 10 ft range.
We get a drop-off from Wednesday the 16th through Friday the 18th with smaller, weaker swell. It's clean, but mostly marginal.
Then we get a bit of a lull until the next big pulse. Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th see the swell build back to a consistent 6 ft to 7 ft from the SSW with those very long 15 to 17-second periods. Combined energy gets back over 2000. Good, clean fun with cross-off winds.
But the real second standout is Monday the 21st of September. We get another big jump to 12 ft from the SSW, with a period of 13 seconds and a combined energy of 4315. The wind is a clean cross-off from the east. This is another big one, same as the 12th. Expert-level size again, but for the brave, it's going to be a great session.
So, save your energy for the 12th and the 21st. Those are your two big, clean windows for real surf. Get after it.
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.
