Corvette Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what we've got coming up.

First up, we’re looking at Corvette. The water temp is running about normal for this time of year, so no need to dig out the 5/4 just yet. We’ve got a bit of a slow start but there’s some real gems hidden in this 16-day run.

Thursday the 16th kicks things off with a solid 5ft SSW groundswell, a very long 16-second period, and moderate wave energy. The wind is cross-off though, and the report says it’s marginal, so we’re not getting too excited yet. Friday the 17th drops off a bit in size to 3ft, but the wind turns offshore and the period stays at 12 seconds. It’s cleaner, but we’re waiting for the real juice.

Now, Saturday the 18th is where it starts to get interesting. That 4 to 5ft SSW swell is packing a very long 17-second period, and the combined energy jumps up. The wind is offshore, moderate breeze, and the call is "excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers." This one’s a standout – a proper groundswell with plenty of push. Keep in mind that long-period swell like this can be a bit straight at beach breaks, but at a reef setup like Corvette, it should line up nicely.

Sunday the 19th is a mixed bag. The morning is chopped out with a cross-on wind, but Sunday afternoon is the real sleeper pick. The wind goes glassy, the swell jumps to 5ft from the SSW with a massive 20-second period, and the energy is strong. It’s going to be clean, lined-up, and powerful – another standout for anyone who can handle it. This is the best wave of the week.

Monday the 20th keeps the quality going with glassy conditions in the morning and a 5ft, 18-second swell. The afternoon gets a bit of a cross-on bump, so get your sessions in early.

Tuesday the 21st and Wednesday the 22nd turn ugly. Strong onshore and cross-shore winds, choppy conditions, and the scores drop right off. This is a write-off. Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th stay marginal with short-period (8 seconds or less), weaker energy, and strong winds. Not worth paddling out.

Things start to look up again on Saturday the 25th. The swell is small, 3ft from the ESE with a short period, but the wind is offshore and clean. It’s a small-wave option, but it’s surfable. Sunday the 26th is also promising – glassy conditions, a clean 2ft to 3ft SSW groundswell with a 16-second period. Good for a longboard or a fun board.

We hit another rough patch from Monday the 27th through Tuesday the 28th, with strong, lumpy winds and poor conditions. Wednesday the 29th is a bit better but still cross-onshore.

Then, looking way out, Thursday the 30th appears as another potential standout. The morning shows a 5ft SSW swell with a 16-second period, offshore wind, and strong wave energy. The call is "excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers." It’s two weeks out, so treat it as promising but not locked in.

The run fades out on Friday the 31st with a smaller, onshore wind swell.

So, if I’m calling it, the real highlights are Saturday the 18th and especially Sunday afternoon the 19th. Get on it.

Rusty.
