Bombo Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. This is Rusty, and I’m lookin’ at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a bit of a slow start, and honestly, the first few days are pretty ordinary. The real standout looks like it’s gonna be a very specific window late in the first week, with a couple of other promising but more distant pulses further out. For the most part, you’re gonna be pickin’ your moments.

The wait begins now. Sunday the 23rd and Monday the 24th are a write-off — marginal surf, messy winds, and poor conditions. Tuesday the 25th ain’t much better. Wednesday the 26th looks a little cleaner but still nothing to write home about. The first real glimmer of hope shows up on Thursday the 27th. That morning, the wind goes glassy from the north, the swell is 5ft from the south, and the combined energy climbs to 430 (moderate). The water temp is about average for this time of year. That Thursday morning session at Bombo Beach is decent, but it’s not the top pick.

The real standout is Friday the 28th morning at Bombo Beach. We’ve got a clean 5ft south swell, a light offshore wind from the southwest, and the combined energy is a solid 541 (moderate). The period is 11 seconds, so you’re getting a proper groundswell that’ll hold its shape. The break is fairly consistent, and with that light offshore, it’s gonna be clean. This is the best session on offer in the first week. Crowds are possible there, so keep an eye out.

The weekend after that (Saturday 29th, Sunday 30th) drops off again — small, poor, or onshore. But then, we get a real interesting pulse on Monday the 31st of August morning. That’s a full week away, so it’s promising but less certain. The swell is only 3ft, but it’s from the SSE with a very long period of 19 seconds. The combined energy is a huge 960 (strong), and the wind is glassy from the northeast. That’s a recipe for some clean, long-period lines. Just remember, a period that long can make a beach break like Bombo a bit straight, but if the tide is right, it could be magic. This is the second standout.

Following that, Tuesday the 1st of September keeps the quality going with a clean offshore wind from the west, 3ft swell from the south, 13-second period, and combined energy of 361 (moderate). Good conditions, but not the top tier.

The second week then fades into much smaller, weaker surf. From the 2nd of September through to the 7th of September, the swell drops below 3ft, combined energy falls under 200, and it’s mostly just ordinary or clean but tiny. The best of that late period is Sunday the 6th of September afternoon, with a clean 3ft south swell and a gentle offshore wind from the west-northwest. That’s a surfable wave, but it’s a far cry from the two standouts.

So to sum it up: your best bet is Friday the 28th of August morning for the best combo of size, wind, and energy. The Monday the 31st of August morning is the wildcard with the long-period groundswell and glassy conditions. Everything else is either a gamble or a small-wave session.

Rusty out.
