Bombo Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it.

Right off the bat, the start of this period is a bit of a write-off. For days, there isn’t really anything worth paddling out for. The surf that shows up is messy, small, or blown out. You’d be wasting your energy.

First real glimmer comes on Sunday the 19th at Bombo Beach. Finally, some proper energy shows up. Sunday morning the swell is 6 feet from the ENE with a 10-second period, and the wind is a light cross-offshore from the SSW. The water is clean, the combined energy is solid at 714, and it’s looking like the best we’ve got in this stretch. It’s not huge, but it’s got some push, and the conditions will be tidy. If you can only pick one session, that’s your best shot.

Later that afternoon, the swell bumps up a touch to 6 feet and the period stretches to 11 seconds, but the wind swings onshore, so the quality gets a bit dicey. Still, the energy is strong at 847. Not a write-off, but morning is the clear winner.

The following Monday (20th) and Tuesday (21st) keep some moderate ENE swell running, but the winds get messy. Monday is cross-shore with light ripples, and Tuesday morning is a standout – glassy conditions with a 4-foot swell, clean as a whistle, and light offshore wind from the SW. That Tuesday morning window is good for a quieter, clean session.

By Wednesday the 22nd, the swell is fading, but again the morning looks tidy with light cross-offshore winds and a clean 4-foot wave. After that, it’s a steady decline into small, weak, and often poorly aligned swell for nearly a week.

There’s another pulse of interest around Saturday the 25th, when a 6-foot south swell shows up, but it comes with a moderate breeze and a cross-chop. Not the cleanest. The afternoon gets a 754 reading, but it’s still a bit raw. Not a standout.

After that, it’s a long, dry slog. From the 26th all the way through the rest of the month, the waves are tiny – mostly under 2 feet – with very weak energy. The period is all over the place, and nothing lines up to make it worthwhile.

So, in short: if you’re keen, Sunday morning the 19th at Bombo Beach is your best bet with clean 6-foot ENE swell and light offshore wind. Tuesday morning the 21st is another good call for a glassy, clean session.
