Bommie Peak Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. The surf is up, and we’ve got a solid stretch of action lining up. For the first part of the week, we’re looking at a mix of clean conditions and building swell. The water is sitting at about `85°`, which is pretty much normal for this time of year.

We start things off on Monday the 24th. It’s not perfect, but there’s surf to be had. The Bommie Peak (Region_URL) will have a bit of a cross-off wind, with waves around `4ft` in the morning, pushing up to `6ft` by the afternoon. It’s a SSW swell with a long period of `16 seconds`. It’s a bit on the marginal side for the morning, but the afternoon cleans up. The energy is moderate.

Tuesday the 25th looks better. The swell holds around `6ft` in the morning with a longer period of `15 seconds`, and we’ve got proper offshore winds. This is shaping up to be the pick of the early days. The afternoon backs off a touch to `5ft`, but it’s still clean.

Wednesday the 26th sees the swell easing, but it turns glassy. Morning waves around `4ft` with a period of `13 seconds` and light winds. The afternoon drops to `3ft` with a `15 second` SW swell. It’s clean, but smaller. Good for the log if that’s your thing.

Now, pay attention. Thursday the 27th is where it starts to get interesting. The swell jumps back up with a strong SW groundswell at `4ft` in the morning, but the period jumps to a very long `19 seconds`. That’s got some serious push. By the afternoon, it’s `5ft` at `18 seconds`. This is the beginning of a great run.

Friday the 28th is a standout. The morning sees `6ft` of SW swell at `16 seconds`, with clean offshore winds. This is your best bet for the week so far. The afternoon gets a bit windier and drops to `6ft`, still good, but the morning is the ticket.

The weekend is still fun, with Saturday the 29th offering `4ft` in the morning and `5ft` in the afternoon, but it’s a bit more cross-off and not as clean. Sunday the 30th sees the swell dip again to `3ft` but with a super long period of `21 seconds` in the morning, and then building to `3ft` at `19 seconds` by the afternoon.

Here’s the big one. Monday the 31st and Tuesday the 1st of September are the crown jewels of this forecast. The swell builds to `6ft` on Monday morning and explodes to `7ft` by the afternoon, with a long-period SW swell. Tuesday the 1st holds the size, with `8ft` in the morning and `7ft` in the afternoon. This is bigger and powerful. For the experienced crew, this is the time to be out there. It’s getting up there in size, so the beginners should probably watch from the shore.

After that, the swell slowly tapers. Wednesday the 2nd still has `6ft`. Thursday the 3rd drops to `5ft`, still rideable. Friday the 4th holds at `6ft`. The following weekend and into the second week, the magic fades. It drops back to the `5ft` range with shorter periods and more cross-off wind. It’s not bad, but it’s not that same level of juice. The standout windows are clearly Thursday the 27th through to Wednesday the 2nd. Get your board ready for that stretch.
