The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here, lookin’ at the charts for our local zone. We’ve got a bit of a slow burner on our hands. The forecast starts with a long stretch of poor conditions, so don’t even bother waxing up until we get into the second week. There’s a gap of about four days with no real surf on offer, and then we’ll be chasing a few windows of cleaner, groomed swell.

The only spot that’s on the cards for a decent paddle is Corvette. This is a reef setup, and it’s fairly consistent, but it’s an intermediate-level wave. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing to write home about.

The real standout in this whole 16-day window is the Sunday, August 16th through to Tuesday, August 18th period. The energy starts building in a big way—we’re talking a combined energy of all swells directed here hitting 1,694 on Sunday morning, which is strong to very strong energy. The swell is coming from the SSW, hitting 5ft to 6ft with a very long period of 16 seconds. That’s groundswell, and it’s going to wrap nicely into that reef. The wind is a clean cross-offshore from the SE, keeping the surface glassy and clean. This is the best it gets. It’s a bit on the bigger side (5ft to 6ft), so it might be a little too much for beginners, but for the intermediates and up, it’s a goer. The downside? It could be a bit inconsistent between sets with that long period, but the shape at the reef should be good. Crowds are sometimes a factor here, so keep an eye out.

After that, the energy drops off a cliff. By Sunday, August 23rd, the swell is tiny, only 1ft, and the conditions are clean but not worth the effort. The rest of the month is a write-off with poor surf, cross-onshore winds, and very weak energy. The very last entry on Thursday, August 27th afternoon shows a flicker of hope with a 6ft SSW swell and clean, glassy conditions, but that’s a long way out and uncertain.

So, if you’re looking for a session, point your board at Corvette for the 16th to the 18th. That’s the only real highlight.

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.
