The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks at Corvette.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a flat spell to get through. The first few days are a write-off for decent waves. Sunday the 23rd and Monday the 24th are a no-go with choppy, cross-off winds and weak, messy short-period swell. The combined energy is barely a whisper (344 on Sunday), and it’s just not worth getting wet for. You’ll be waiting through a few days of frustrating, marginal conditions until things start to build.

The first real glimmer of hope comes on Tuesday the 25th. We see a solid push of SSW groundswell arriving, with 6ft to 6ft on the face and a nice long 15-second period. The energy jumps up significantly (1628 on Tuesday morning). However, the wind is still a fresh cross-off from the east, which keeps it a bit bumpy. The water temp is 72°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so the rubber is staying in the car. The surf quality is still only marginal, so it’s not a stand-out, but it’s a sign that the ocean is waking up.

Wednesday the 26th sees the swell holding at 5ft with that same 15-second period, and the wind actually swings offshore for the afternoon. That's a big positive. The energy is still strong (1134), and the clean conditions will make it a much better session than the previous days. It’s still not perfect, but it’s the best we’ve seen yet.

We get a bit more clean offshore wind on Thursday the 27th, with 4ft to 4ft of SSW groundswell. The energy backs off a touch (928), but with moderate offshore winds, it’ll be tidy. The period is still long at 15 seconds, so it’ll be a proper groundswell, with those nice long lulls between sets. This is a good window for a solid intermediate session.

The weekend of the 29th and 30th is a step back. The wind turns onshore and the swell mixes up, making for a choppy, unappealing mess. We’ll get some SSW swell on the 30th at 6ft, but the cross-shore wind will chop it up.

Now, the real standout – and you’ll want to mark this in your calendar – is Tuesday the 1st of September. This is the big one. A massive SSW swell is forecast to hit, with 15ft on the morning and a 16-second period. The combined energy goes through the roof at 9425. That’s serious, powerful groundswell. This is a clean, powerful, expert-only wave. The wind is a fresh cross-off, so it won’t be glassy, but it’ll be rideable. For experienced surfers, this is the best window of the whole outlook. After that, the swell slowly drops back through the week, but the energy remains moderate to strong. The wind stays cross-off, so the vibe remains clean. A standout for the big-wave crew.

The rest of the second week is a steady stream of clean, manageable SSW swell in the 4ft to 6ft range with that nice cross-off wind. Energy is consistent (1000-1900 range). It’s not the huge stuff of the 1st, but it’s reliable, clean, and fun. A good solid run of surf for the patient 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.
