Bombo Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get stuck into what’s on the menu for our local stretch.

We’ve got a solid run of surf coming up, but it’s a bit of a mixed bag, so you’ll need to pick your moments. The best of the lot is shaping up for early next week, but we’ll work through it day by day.

First up, Thursday the 30th of July is your standout. The morning session is where it’s at. We’re looking at a clean 7ft SSW swell with a cross-off breeze. The water’s a touch warmer than normal at 65°, and the wave energy is pumping with a reading of 1125. This is proper, powerful stuff for the experienced crew. The afternoon gets a bit tricky with the wind swinging around, so get on it early.

Friday the 31st is still a good call, with a clean 6ft S swell and light cross-off winds in the morning. The energy has dropped to 595, but it’s still a fun, surfable day. The afternoon gets a bit of a cross-chop.

Saturday the 1st of August has a smaller 5ft SSE swell in the morning with clean conditions. The afternoon is interesting, turning glassy with a tiny 4ft swell, but it’s worth a paddle for a slow, clean session.

Sunday the 2nd sees a solid 5ft SE groundswell with a 12-second period, but the wind is messy. The morning is cross-shore, and the afternoon turns choppy. Not the best.

From Monday the 3rd through to Wednesday the 5th, we hit a flat patch. Swell drops to under 3ft, with some glassy moments but not much power. The combined energy falls to 168 and below. It’s a waiting game.

Things kick back to life on Thursday the 6th, but it’s only small 4ft stuff. Friday the 7th is similar, with a clean 4ft SSE swell in the morning, but the wind is getting up to 12 mph.

Now, here’s your next proper window. Saturday the 8th of August morning has a clean 5ft S swell with light winds and a solid energy reading of 470. It’s a good, clean option.

Sunday the 9th is a write-off, but Monday the 10th of August is a beauty. The afternoon session is a gem: a clean 5ft ESE swell, a strong 12-second period, and a solid offshore breeze from the west. The combined energy is 602, and it’s clean. That’s a top pick.

The rest of the second week is a bit of a mixed bag. Tuesday the 11th is small, Wednesday the 12th has a tidy 4ft S swell with offshore winds, and then Thursday the 13th of August morning is a real standout in the long-range. We’ve got a clean 5ft S swell, light winds, and a combined energy of 548. That’s a solid, clean swell for a Thursday morning session. Friday the 14th is also worth a look with a 6ft S swell in the morning, but it’s a bit more onshore later.

So, to sum it up: your two best bets are Thursday the 30th of July morning and Monday the 10th of August afternoon. Get out there and score.

Rusty.
