The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way for the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but the waiting game pays off. The first few days are pretty average, with a lot of cross-off wind and surf that’s just not doing much. The real action, the standout, is going to be Sunday the 26th of July at Corvette. That morning, we’re looking at a solid 12 ft swell rolling in from the SSW with a long period of 15 seconds. That’s some serious groundswell energy – combined wave energy is a massive 5306, which is off the charts. The waves are going to be powerful and well-shaped, but that size is strictly for experienced surfers; it’s too big for beginners. The wind is a moderate cross-off breeze from the SE, keeping things clean. The long period means better sets, but it might be prone to breaking a bit straight on the beach, so it’s a reef and point break kind of swell. Water temp is about 73°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
The next best, and it’s a close second, is Friday the 31st of July. The morning session is looking juicy with a 8 ft SSW swell, again with a very long period of 18 seconds. The combined energy is a massive 4258. The wind is a moderate cross-off from the ESE, keeping the surface clean. That’s a big swell, but it’s a bit more manageable than the 26th for the strong intermediate crew. The afternoon stays solid at 8 ft with a 17-second period, so it’s a full day of excellent, powerful waves.
Between the 23rd and the 25th, the surf is pretty weak and messy – small, short-period swell with cross winds. Not worth paddling out. After the 26th, the swell drops but stays on the smaller side, with a lot of moderate cross-off winds. The only real glimmer in the quieter second week is Thursday the 6th of August morning. The swell is tiny, only 2 ft from the S, but the wind is glassy and there’s a solid period of 14 seconds. It’s a small, clean, long-period wave. Only good for a longboard or a fish. The combined energy is weak at 303. It’s a promise of clean conditions, but not much power.
So, for the best waves, mark your calendar for Sunday the 26th of July and Friday the 31st of July. The rest is a bit of a mixed bag.
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.
