The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what we've got for the next couple of weeks.

The first action is this Wednesday afternoon, August 26th, but it’s nothing to write home about. We’ve got a 5ft SSW swell at Corvette, but the wind is a stiff 22 mph easterly. It’s offshore and the surf is clean, but the energy is pretty average (1009). It’s a reef break that needs a specific direction, and it’s just not there yet. The water temp is 72°, which is bang on average for this time of year.

Thursday morning the 27th looks a little more promising. The swell drops to 4ft from the SSW, but the period stretches out to a very long 15 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell, and with a moderate ENE offshore breeze, the wave faces will be tidy. The energy is still moderate (930), but the quality is there. This is likely the best of the first few days. After that, the wind turns against us and the swell fades, so we’re looking at a gap from Friday through the weekend. The wind is onshore and choppy, and the surf quality is poor. Don’t bother paddling out from Friday morning to Sunday afternoon.

We get a bit of life back on Monday, August 31st. A 6ft S swell with a 19 mph SE cross-offshore breeze. It’ll be clean, but the energy is only moderate (818). It’s a marginal window, but if you’re desperate, it’s an option.

The real standout is shaping up for the week of September 1st. Tuesday afternoon the 1st sees a jump in size with a 8ft SSW swell, 17-second period, and clean 22 mph cross-offshore winds. That’s a serious amount of water moving, with combined energy hitting 3535. That’s strong wave energy, and for Corvette being a reef break, that long period groundswell will wrap in and line up beautifully. This is a session for experienced surfers only – at 8ft it’s pushing into expert territory.

Then we get a second, even bigger pulse on Friday, September 4th. Friday afternoon is the pick of the entire run. An 8ft SSW groundswell with a 19-second period and glassy conditions. The wind is dead calm from the SSE, and the water will be like glass. The combined energy is a massive 4455. This is an absolute no-brainer for any experienced surfer. It’s a true standout.

Following that, there are several decent mornings with clean conditions and moderate swells, but nothing that matches that Friday peak. Keep an eye on Sunday morning, September 6th, where a 5ft SSW swell meets glassy conditions again (1217 energy). And again on Monday the 7th with a 5ft SSW, 17-second period, and light offshore winds.

Later in the second week, on Tuesday the 8th, the swell really builds again, hitting 12ft by Tuesday afternoon with 5807 combined energy. That’s massive. But with a 16 mph cross-offshore it’ll be clean, though only the brave or the foolish will be out there. This is dangerous territory for anyone who isn't a top-tier surfer.

So, bottom line: don’t bother until Thursday morning the 27th for a clean window. The absolute best of the best is Friday afternoon, September 4th, with that glassy, 8ft, long-period groundswell. Set your alarms. The water temp will be around 72°, average for the season, but the waves will be anything but.

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.
