The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’ve only got one spot to look at for this whole stretch, and it’s a bit of a slow burn, so let’s be real about what’s on the table.

The first few days are a write-off. Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th are a total mess with strong cross-shore winds and choppy conditions. The swell is there but it’s not doing you any favours. You’re better off staying home and waxing your board.

Things start to get interesting on Saturday the 12th. That’s the standout of the whole forecast. Saturday morning at Corvette (reef) is the pick of the bunch. We’ve got a solid 12ft SSW groundswell rolling in with a period of 17 seconds, packing some serious energy (7581). The wind is cross-offshore from the ESE and the conditions are clean. That’s a proper, powerful groundswell with a long period, so it’s going to have that deep, pushing energy. The water’s sitting at 72°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year. Just a heads up though: at 12ft, this is expert territory. This is not a beginner wave. The crowd factor is listed as “sometimes”, so you might have a few others out there, but it’s not a circus.

Saturday afternoon drops off a bit, still 12ft but the period shortens to 16 seconds and the energy drops to 5899. Still clean, but the morning session is the one.

Sunday the 13th through to the end of the first week stays in the marginal zone. You’ve got consistent 8ft to 10ft SSW swell, but the wind stays cross-off and the quality is just okay. Not terrible, but not the pumping Saturday morning we get. The energy levels are still respectable (3114 to 5634), but it’s not the same punch.

Into the second week, from the 16th onwards, the swell backs off significantly. You’re looking at waist-to-chest high stuff most days, with periods dropping under 14 seconds. The energy levels fall away to the hundreds and low thousands. It’s clean, but small. The 24th afternoon shows a brief moment of strong offshore wind from the E at 25 mph, but the swell is only 3ft with a short 12-second period. That’s glassy but gutless, and hard to paddle into with that wind.

Bottom line: Saturday morning the 12th is your true standout. Get on it. After that, the surf is clean but average for the rest of the run. There’s a long gap of nothing special from the 16th onwards, with only small, weak waves.

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.
