The Lowdown
Let’s talk surf. Over the next couple of weeks, we’ve got some proper SSW groundswell lining up, with winds mostly coming cross-offshore, which means clean waves. The first few days are a bit average, but there’s a strong pulse early next week that’s the one to aim for.
Kicking off Sunday, 30 August, Corvette has a 2.0m (7ft) SSW swell with an 11-second period. The combined energy is at 1049—moderate—but with a rain shower and a light cross-chop, it’s not the best. Monday, 31 August, cleans right up with cross-offshore winds and a smaller 1.6m (5ft) S swell (9-10 seconds). Energy drops to 657, so it’s smaller but clean. Decent for a quiet session.
Now, the big one: Tuesday, 1 September. Corvette sees a 2.5m (8ft) SSW swell with a long 17-second period, cross-offshore winds from the ESE, and energy roaring at 3603. That’s serious power. This is groundswell, and on this reef it’ll wrap in deep, giving long, clean lines. Over 2.5m (8ft) is expert-only, so only the skilled should paddle out. Morning looks best. Water temp is around average for September.
Wednesday and Thursday (2nd-3rd September) hold similar size—2.0m to 2.5m (7-8ft)—but the period drops to 13-14 seconds, and energy sits between 1000 and 2600. Winds are still cross-offshore, so it’s clean but less powerful. Still fun.
Friday, 4 September, the swell crashes to 1.1m (4ft) then 0.8m (3ft) with energy under 360. Poor to marginal. Then we get a quiet weekend of 5-6 September. Saturday morning is tiny—0.8m (3ft) at 17 seconds, which is long period but no power. Sunday, 6 September, picks up to 2.2m (7ft) SSW at 16 seconds (energy 2354)—a decent bump, but not as crisp as Tuesday 1st. Monday and Tuesday (7-8 September) drop again to 1-1.3m (4-4ft).
A longer quiet spell from Wednesday 9th to Friday 11th September. Wednesday is poor with 1-1.3m (4-4ft). Things start rebuilding Thursday 10th with 1.6m-1.7m (5-6ft) SSW at 13 seconds (energy over 1000) and Friday 11th with 2.0m (7ft) at 12 seconds (energy 1316-1433). Winds stay cross-offshore, so it’s clean, but not as strong as that 1st September peak.
The final weekend (13-14 September) is quieter. Sunday 13th has 1.4m (5ft) in the morning, then a tiny clean afternoon with an 18-second period on only 0.8m (3ft). Monday 14th is 1.2m (4ft) at 17 seconds, energy 1165—clean but small.
Best bet? Tuesday, 1 September at Corvette. Big power, clean conditions, and that long period groundswell on the reef will produce some epic lines. Experts only. The second week has some okay pulses (10th and 11th September) but they’re less consistent. First week wins.

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.
