The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down in feet and knots.

Water temp is 72°F, right on the average for this time of year, so no surprises.

The surf story is a bit of a slow start. Monday and Tuesday have size – 10ft on Monday morning – but the wind is a cross-off breeze at 22 mph, which makes it feel messy. The swell energy is huge (4613 on Monday), but the quality is just not there. Tuesday drops to 4ft but the period stretches to 18 seconds – that’s real groundswell. The cross-off wind still keeps it from being perfect. Wednesday is smaller and rougher, and by Thursday the swell is under 3ft, so you’ve got a gap from Wednesday through the end of the week where there’s not much to chase.

One bright spot is Saturday afternoon, August 8th. The wind goes glassy, which is a big deal, and we’ve got 4ft of ESE swell with a 9-second period. The energy is low (301), so it’s not powerful, but for a clean, small wave session, that’s your best chance in the first week. The break is Corvette, a reef, and it’s fairly consistent. Crowds can show up, so be ready.

The real standout is the second week. By Sunday, August 16th, we’ve got 8ft of SSW swell with a 13-second period, and the combined energy is pumping at 2817 to 3173. That’s strong. The wind is a cross-off fresh breeze, keeping the faces clean. At 8ft, this is for experts only, especially on a reef. Monday the 17th keeps the size at 6ft to 8ft, and the period hits 15 seconds in the afternoon – that’s very long period. On a reef like Corvette, that should set up some proper lines. The energy is massive (3974 on Monday afternoon). This is the best window, but it’s a week and a half out, so call it promising but not a sure thing.

From August 18th onward, it stays solid but the wind gets stronger, and the forecast is still just marginal. The consistency is there, but the quality might drop.

If you’re a kite surfer, those strong cross-off winds and solid swell from the 15th to the 18th look more interesting than they do for a paddle surfer.

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.
