The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cooking for Corvette. It’s a reef setup that needs a bit of patience this time around, but there's a window worth getting excited about if you’re keen on a serious session.

We’ve got a run of pretty poor conditions kicking things off from Friday the 28th of August right through the weekend. The wind is messy – cross-onshore or onshore – and the water is going to feel fairly average for this time of year, nothing unusual there. The wave energy for the first few days is moderate at best, with combined energy readings around 357 to 370, but the quality is just too choppy and poor to get excited about.

Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th sees the swell start to push up – we’re looking at 5.6 ft to 7.2 ft from the SSW and SW. That’s decent size, but the wind stays ugly, cross-onshore from the SSW and S at 16 mph, making for a messy, blown-out surface. The wave energy jumps into the 900 to 2000 range, but it’s wasted with the wind. The 7.2 ft on Sunday morning is solid but messy. By Sunday afternoon, the wind backs off a touch but the surf is still only marginal.

Monday the 31st brings a change. The wind swings offshore from the ESE, and the wave state cleans right up. The swell drops back a bit to 4.6 ft from the S with a moderate period of 9 seconds, and combined energy in the 400 to 690 range. It’s clean but a bit weak and inconsistent. Still, a morning paddle would be nicer than the weekend slop.

Now, the standout. Monday the 7th of September morning. That’s the one. We’ve got 5.2 ft of SSW groundswell rolling in with a long 15-second period. The wind is glassy – a slight 3 mph offshore breeze from the ESE, cross-off. Combined energy is solid at 1087, and they’re calling it excellent for experienced surfers. This is a proper reef day. That long period means the sets will arrive with real punch and nice shape, but at a reef, that’s a good thing – it’ll draw up nicely. Just keep an eye on the tide as it is a reef. This is your best shot by a long way.

The days in between are a mix. Tuesday the 1st of September delivers a building swell, hitting 6.6 ft to 9.8 ft from the SSW, with a very long 18-second period and combined energy up over 4000. That is a lot of power. But the wind is a fresh ESE at 19 mph. It’s cross-off, so it’s clean, but the size makes it expert territory only. Too much for most. Wednesday the 2nd holds at 8.2 ft, still clean but still big. The wave energy drops a touch to around 3000, but those longer period waves will be walled up on the reef. Thursday the 3rd and Friday the 4th settle back down to the 3.9 ft to 6.2 ft range, clean, but the energy drops, and it’s more of a cruiser day.

The week of the 8th of September sees another pulse – Tuesday the 8th, 9.8 ft from SSW, combined energy over 2500. Again, big and clean, but with that much size and a moderate 12-second period, it’s for experts only. The wind is moderate and cross-off, so it’ll look beautiful but handle with caution. Wednesday the 9th stays around 8.2 ft, but the wind picks up to 19 mph, still cross-off but it’ll get a bit bumpy. By Thursday the 10th, it fades to 4.6 ft.

The Call: Get on the Monday the 7th of September morning. That’s the sweet spot. Clean, chest-high +, with a long, groundy period and barely a breath of wind. It’s a reef, so it might be a little inconsistent and you’ll have to work for the best ones, but the quality will be there. If you’re an expert and want to get pitted, the first few days of September offer big, clean, heavy waves, but you need to be on your game. For everyone else, wait for the 7th.

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.
