The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, breakin’ down the waves.

We got a slow burner of a forecast, but some serious SSW groundswell is on the way with that long-period juice, so you gotta pick your moments when the wind ain’t howlin’. The only spot in the picture is Corvette, a reef break that's fairly consistent and wide open to the swell. Water’s sittin’ around 72°, which is pretty normal for this time of year – nothin’ wild.

First shot of real surf is Sunday afternoon, the 13th. The swell is a meaty 10ft from the SSW with a very long 18-second period, pumping out a massive 5717 (strong energy). That’s serious groundswell. The wind is a cross-off from the ESE at 19 mph, so it’s clean. That long period will make it glassy and powerful, perfect for a reef setup, but at 10ft, this is for experienced surfers only. Beginners, stay on the sand.

Monday morning, the 14th is the standout. The energy jumps to 8495 off a 10ft SSW swell with a 17-second period. Wind is still cross-off and clean. This is the best of the whole run – biggest energy, good wind, long-period groundswell. A proper session for the crew that knows what they’re doing.

Tuesday the 15th drops a little to a 8ft SSW swell with a 14-second period, still clean but energy down to 4351. Still solid, just not as epic. Crowds might be a factor here – it can get a bit busy sometimes when the forecast is this good.

We go flat from Wednesday the 16th afternoon through Thursday the 17th – tiny 2ft to 2ft surf with onshore winds. Not worth wetting a wetsuit.

Friday the 18th brings a 10ft pulse, but it’s blown out with cross-onshore winds at 19 mph (5725 energy). Lumpy and choppy – you’d need a kite, not a surfboard, for that.

Monday the 21st morning looks good again – 8ft SSW swell at 16 seconds under clean cross-off winds with 3130 energy. Good call for intermediates and up.

Wednesday the 23rd and Thursday the 24th bring another pulse of 8ft to 10ft S swell under clean cross-off winds with energy around 3461-4798. That long 15-second period on the 24th will make it draw nicely on the reef, but it’s still big – expert territory.

Friday the 25th through Saturday the 26th sees the swell dropping but staying clean with offshore winds, energy falling to around 600-643. By Sunday the 27th, the swell is down to 3ft from the SE with a short 7-second period and energy of 364 – weak and not worth the drive.

The one to circle is Monday morning, the 14th – big, clean, and packin’ a punch.

Rusty out.

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.
