The Lowdown

Righto, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s coming up at Clovelly Bombie.

First thing’s first: there’s a big gap of nothing before we get any real action. The surf is pretty much flat or useless for the first few days—Tuesday the 28th to Friday the 31st of July are all showing poor surf conditions with tiny waves, so don’t bother paddling out. Just wait.

Then things finally start to wake up on Saturday the 1st of August. That morning we’ve got a solid 5ft swell from the SSE, with a period of 10 seconds, and the wind is light offshore from the west—almost glassy. Combined energy is moderate (466) and the conditions are clean. That morning window is the best on offer across the whole outlook. The afternoon stays sweet too, with 5ft and glassy conditions—perfect for a session. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual.

Sunday the 2nd of August morning is a standout as well. Swell is still hanging in at 4ft from the SSE, a longer period of 12 seconds, and clean cross-off wind from the NNW. The combined energy is strong (777), so there’s proper push in the water. This is a reef break, so that longer period groundswell will wrap in nicely here. Just keep in mind it’s an advanced, inconsistent spot, and it can get crowded sometimes. If you’re not on it, someone else will be.

Monday the 3rd of August morning is still surfable with 3ft from the SSE and clean conditions, but the energy drops back to moderate (260). After that, the swell fades and the forecast gets pretty ordinary again through the rest of the week and into the second week. There’s a fleeting moment on Thursday the 6th of August morning with a glassy 4ft from the south, but it’s short period (6 seconds) and the overall energy is weak (108), so it’s more of a dribbler than a proper wave.

From the 7th of August onward, it’s mostly small, weak, and messy—nothing worth getting excited about. The long-range stuff is thin and unreliable.

The pick: Saturday morning the 1st of August, with that solid 5ft SSE swell and clean offshore wind. Sunday morning the 2nd of August is a close second for the extra power and longer period.

Rusty.

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.
