The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at our local run of swell for the next couple of weeks. The main event is a real slug of southerly groundswell that’s gonna build into the end of July and spill over into August, with a real standout day on the 1st of August that’s got me fired up.

We start off on Tuesday the 21st of July. The swell is a modest 4 ft from the SSW with a long 14-second period, but the wind is a solid 12 mph ESE cross-off. It’s clean, but the energy is only moderate (817). Honestly, it’s a bit of a warm-up, nothing to get too excited about yet. Wednesday the 22nd sees a bigger pulse of S swell, 3 ft but with a very long 17-second period. The combined energy jumps to 1444, but the wind is a fresh 19 mph E. The quality is there, but the wind is pushing it.

The real shift starts to show on Friday the 24th. The morning has a 5 ft SE swell, 10-second period, and the wind drops right off to a light 6 mph E cross-off. The ocean is clean, and the energy is moderate (575). It’s a solid, fun-sized morning, but the real standout is still a few days out.

Come Saturday the 26th, the swell is starting to roar. Sunday morning the 26th we’ve got a 10 ft SSW swell with a 16-second period, and the combined energy is a very strong 4645. The wind is a moderate 12 mph SE cross-off, keeping it clean. This is serious, big-wave territory. Anything over 8 ft is for experts only. The 17-second period on the 27th means it’s a proper groundswell, which will wrap around the reef at Corvette nicely, but it’s gonna be a handful.

Now, the absolute standout is the 1st of August. Saturday morning. We’ve got a 10 ft SSW swell with a 17-second period, the combined energy is a massive 5100. But the wind? It’s a glassy 0 mph from the NW. Completely dead calm. The forecast says "exceptional surf conditions for expert surfers." This is the one. The swell direction is a perfect match for the optimum SSW direction at Corvette, and the glassy conditions mean no chop, no bump. It’s going to be a long, powerful, clean line-up. You’ll be waiting for sets, but the ones that come will be worth it. After that, the swell holds through the 2nd and 3rd of August, but the wind turns cross-onshore, so the quality drops.

The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no nasty surprises there.

The 4th and 5th of August are worth a mention. Tuesday the 4th has a 5 ft S swell with an 18-second period, light 6 mph SE cross-off, and clean conditions. The 5th has an 8 ft S swell, 14-second period, with a 12 mph E offshore wind. Both are rated "excellent for experienced surfers." They’re not the size of the 1st of August, but they’re cleaner and more manageable. The offshore wind on the 5th will be a dream.

So, to keep it simple: The 1st of August morning is the king of the run. After that, the 4th and 5th of August are your best bets for a cleaner, slightly smaller, but still powerful session. The rest of the time is either too windy, too big, or just average.

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.
