Bombo Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s coming up for Bombo Beach. It’s a bit of a slow start, but there’s a real standout day on the horizon that’ll get the blood pumping.

Right now, the water temp is sitting at 65°, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing weird there. The first action we’ve got is on Friday morning, July 10. It’s a modest 6ft swell from the SE, with a period of 9 seconds and a moderate combined energy of 499. The wind is a light SW cross-off, so the lines will be clean. It’s solid beginner-to-intermediate fun, but not the big ticket item.

Friday afternoon gets even better. That swell drops a touch to 5ft, but the period bumps up to 10 seconds, and the energy dips slightly to 471. The wind goes glassy out of the SE, so you’ll be surfing in absolute mirror-like conditions. That’s a beautiful window for a sunset session.

Saturday morning, July 11, the swell backs off to 4ft, but it’s still glassy, this time with a light NW breeze. The energy is 322, and it’s clean. Not big, but if you’ve got a log, you’ll be smiling.

Now, Saturday afternoon through to Tuesday, July 14, it goes pretty flat and ordinary. The swell drops below 3ft, and the wind turns onshore or cranks offshore with no real size. Sunday morning has a bit of a 2ft swell with a 15 mph offshore wind, but it’s barely surfable. You’re looking at a solid 3-day flat spell.

The Highlight: Wednesday, July 15. This is the one. Wednesday morning brings a solid 7ft S swell, 9-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 1181 – that’s a strong pulse. The wind is SSW at 9 mph, putting it cross-off and clean. This is proper head-high-plus surf, with power. It’s not for beginners, but for experienced surfers, this is excellent. The afternoon holds similar size at 7ft, though the wind goes cross-shore, so it’ll be a bit bumpier, but still a solid option.

After that, Thursday morning, July 16, offers a cleaner 4ft S swell with light SW winds. Then it drops off again into the weekend, with a small E swell on Saturday, July 18, that’s 3ft but messy with a NE breeze.

The following week, from Monday, July 20, we see a few blips of cleaner surf as the wind turns offshore again. Tuesday, July 21, has a 3ft E swell with a solid 15 mph offshore wind, so it’ll be clean but small. Wednesday, July 22, goes glassy again in the afternoon with a tiny 2ft E swell. The real standout late in the run is Thursday, July 23, with a clean 5ft SSW swell in the morning, and glassy offshore winds again in the afternoon with a 4ft SE swell. That’s a nice little end to the run.

The only true standout for the whole window is Wednesday, July 15. That’s the one you point the car towards. The rest is small, clean, and fun for logs or longboards, but nothing else comes close to that mid-week pulse.

Stay stoked,
Rusty
