The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, switching to feet and miles for the imperial crew.
So the only break we’re looking at is Corvette, a reef that needs the stars to align. The first few days are a write-off. Monday and Tuesday see a solid cross-off breeze blowing 20-22 mph, so even though the swell is coming up—up to about 6 ft Tuesday afternoon—it’s too windy to be any good.
First real window is Thursday the 27th morning. Wind goes offshore from the east at 16 mph, and we’ve got a clean 4 ft SSW groundswell with a 15-second period. That’s long-period energy, and for a reef, it’ll mean nice, orderly lines. Water temp is 72°, pretty average. The energy is moderate (909). This is your first decent session—just expect longer waits between sets.
Friday morning the 28th is a beauty. Glassy calm wind at 3 mph, and a small but perfect 3 ft SSW swell. It’s light energy, but on the reef it’ll peel smooth and clean. Fun little board conditions.
The weekend (29th-30th) goes downhill. South winds pick up, and the swell hits 6-6 ft but with messy cross and cross-on winds. Chop city.
The real standout is Wednesday, September 2nd. Offshore wind (ENE and east) at 9-12 mph all day, and a solid 8 ft S swell with a 16-second period. The combined energy is huge (3933). That’s heavy, powerful surf. Beginners stay out—this is for experienced surfers only. The reef will be working, hollow, and fast.
Thursday the 3rd is still good in the morning: glassy with a dropping 6 ft SSW swell, clean and still a handful for the average punter.
Second week is small and marginal. Sunday the 6th has a 7 ft S swell but with light cross-shore wind, so it’s not clean.
Bottom line: mark Wednesday, September 2nd. That’s the one.

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.
