Corvette Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at the upcoming surf for our stretch of coast.

Right now, it’s looking like a bit of a slow start. We’ve got some small, messy swell and crossed-up winds on the menu, so don't expect much action in the immediate days. We’ll be waiting through a few days of average conditions before things really start to fire.

The water temperature is sitting around 73°F, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no need for a thick wetsuit just yet.

The main event is shaping up for Saturday the 18th of July. That’s the standout in the whole 16-day window. We’re looking at a solid pulse of SSW groundswell with the swell height hitting 13ft to 15ft and a long period of 16 seconds. The combined wave energy is going to be massive – we’re talking readings of 8811 and 9101, which is very strong. Now, for a reef break like Corvette, which is exposed to the SSW, this is going to be pumping. The wind is forecast to be a gentle cross-shore breeze, which is a major positive and will keep things clean. However, with these sizes, it’s strictly one for experienced surfers only – beginners and even intermediate surfers will want to sit this one out. This is a big, powerful groundswell so expect plenty of energy and longer waits between sets.

Before that, we get a nice little window on Saturday the 11th of July, particularly the morning. We’ll have a 7ft S swell with a 12-second period and glassy, offshore winds. The wave energy will be moderate but solid at 1753. It won’t be the biggest, but with those clean, calm conditions, Corvette will be offering up excellent, well-shaped waves for those who know what they’re doing.

The Sunday after, on the 12th of July, is also worth a mention. A smaller 4ft SSE swell but with clean, cross-offshore winds will produce some fun, rippable waves, though the energy is lower.

Looking further ahead to the 18th and 19th of July, that big swell event continues. The morning of Saturday the 18th is the pick of the entire outlook, with a 15ft swell. Sunday the 19th will still have a solid 10ft SSW swell, with cleaner winds coming from the ESE. That Sunday is another great option for experienced crew.

After that, Monday the 20th of July finishes the run with a 7ft SSW swell and glassy conditions in the morning, offering a chance for some solid waves as the swell eases.

So, in a nutshell, there’s a bit of a quiet spell to get through, but once we hit the second week, get ready. The 18th of July is the big one, but the 11th and 19th also have plenty of appeal. Keep an eye on the updates as we get closer.

Rusty.
