Alright, let’s get into it. We’re looking at Clovelly Bombie for the next couple of weeks.
The first bit of action is Friday the 10th. Morning has a 6ft SE swell with a 9-second period, cross-off wind, and the water temp is 64°, which is about average for this time of year. The combined energy is moderate (502). Not bad, but the afternoon is the real start: the wind goes glassy, the swell holds at 5ft from the SE, and the period stretches to 10 seconds. That’s clean, lined-up, and punchy. Clovelly Bombie is an advanced reef, and it’s inconsistent, so when it’s on, it’s a proper session. Crowds are only sometimes a problem, so you might get some space.
Saturday the 11th is smaller, 4ft in the morning with a cross-off, and the afternoon goes to junk with cross-on wind. Not worth it.
Sunday the 12th is small and clean but tiny – 2ft and 2ft, with fresh offshore wind. The energy is weak (107 and 62). Longboard or wait.
Then we hit a flat spell. From Monday the 13th through Wednesday the 15th, the swell drops to almost nothing. Combined energy is single digits or zero. Nothing doing.
Thursday the 16th brings a jolt: an 8ft SSE swell with a short 8-second period, moderate energy (749), but the wind is cross-off and clean. That’s lumpy and powerful for a reef, but for experienced surfers, it’s a window. The afternoon drops back to 4ft.
Now, the big standout is Friday the 17th and Saturday the 18th, but it’s serious. Friday morning has an 12ft SE swell with a 12-second period – that’s a very long period groundswell. The combined energy is enormous (6177). That’s heavy, dangerous water. Wind is cross-on, so it’s messy. Experts only. The afternoon is still 10ft with a cross-shore, a bit more manageable but still heavy.
Saturday the 18th holds at 8ft from the SE with a 10-second period, cross-off wind in the morning. Clean, powerful, and still solid. The combined energy is strong (1418). This is the best of the big swell window, but still only for the experienced.
Sunday the 19th is the pick of the whole run. The morning has an 8ft ESE swell with a 12-second period, light offshore wind, and the combined energy is very strong (1839). That’s clean, long-period groundswell hitting the reef perfectly. The optimum swell direction for Bombie is ENE, so this ESE is a touch off, but it’s still going to wrap. The afternoon gets ruined by a cross-on northeasterly, so get in early.
After that, the swell drops. Monday the 20th to Wednesday the 22nd sees 3ft to 5ft, with clean offshore winds in the mornings. Good for a paddle, but not a standout.
Thursday the 23rd has a 4ft ESE swell with a 9-second period, fresh offshore wind. Clean, but small.
Friday the 24th brings a bump: 6ft from the ESE with a 9-second period, moderate energy (636), and cross-off wind. Fun, punchy morning.
Saturday the 25th has 5ft from the SE, cross-off in the morning, then junk in the afternoon. A decent finish.
So, the best on offer is the Sunday the 19th morning session at Clovelly Bombie. Clean, long-period groundswell, solid size, and light offshore wind. That’s the one to circle. The Friday the 17th and Saturday the 18th are massive but for experts only. The Friday the 10th afternoon glass-off is also a beauty but smaller.

Information about the Clovelly Bombie Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Clovelly Bombie provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Clovelly Bombie can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Clovelly Bombie surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Clovelly Bombie) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Clovelly Bombie may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
