The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it, folks. Rusty here, with the lowdown on what’s coming.
We’ve got a few days of small, clean surf kicking off Friday the 4th of September, but it’s nothing to get hyped about. The swell is tiny – around 2 to 3 feet – with a long period (15-18 seconds) which gives it that groundswell feel, but the sets will be few and far between. The wind is a steady cross-off from the ESE, keeping the surface clean, but the combined wave energy is only moderate (442 to 538). It’s surfable, but it’s not a standout.
The one session that jumps out is Monday morning, September 7th. This is your golden window. We’ve got a clean 5-foot swell from the SSW, with a very long period of 16 seconds. The wind is nearly dead calm – just a slight air from the SE, making it a cross-off breeze. The combined energy is a solid 1011, which is moderate but punchy. The report calls it excellent for experienced surfers, and I’m backing that. The waves will be lined up, clean, and offering some real quality. The water temp is about what you’d expect for this time of year.
After that, the wind turns on us. Tuesday through Thursday, it goes onshore and cross-onshore, messing up the surface even as the swell picks up. We get a massive pulse of energy around the 12th and 13th of September (Saturday and Sunday next week) – waves hitting 13 to 15 feet from the SSW, with combined energy over 10,000. That’s big, powerful, and dangerous. Only for experts. The wind is still cross-shore, so it’s going to be a mess of a beast.
The second week sees the swell drop back to 5 to 8 feet, but with strong cross-off winds (15-22 mph), keeping it clean but pretty blown out. By the 16th and 17th, it’s back to small, weak surf. There’s a tiny window on the 18th with a 6-foot SSW swell and a strong offshore wind from the NE – that could be a late sleeper, but it’s a long shot.
So, to keep it simple: Monday morning, September 7th is your best bet. Clean, solid, and glassy. Everything else is either too small, too windy, or too big and messy.
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.
