The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at Clovelly Bombie over this 16-day stretch.
Honestly, it’s a pretty bleak run for the most part. We’ve got a long gap of flat, poor, or just useless conditions from now right through to the end of July. There’s a tiny blip of energy on Saturday the 1st of August with a 4ft SSE swell, but it’s coming with light cross-onshore wind and only marginal quality, so nothing to get excited about.
The real standout, and I mean the *only* standout, lands on Saturday the 8th of August. Early morning is where it’s at. We’re looking at a solid 8ft swell out of the SSE, and the wind is offshore from the WNW with a gentle breeze – that means clean, groomed faces. The combined energy is strong at (1434), and with a period of 12 seconds, it’s a long-period groundswell that will wrap in nicely. This is an advanced reef break and it’s inconsistent, so don’t expect non-stop action, but when the sets come through, they’ll be proper. It’s only for experienced surfers though – anything over 8ft is expert territory, and with that much power, beginners should sit this one out. Be aware it can get crowded here sometimes.
After that, the swell drops back down quickly, and the second week looks ordinary again with small, messy or blown-out conditions. Sunday the 9th of August morning has a 4ft SSE swell and clean cross-off wind, giving moderate energy (359), but it’s nothing compared to Saturday. The rest of the week fades into weak and choppy surf.
So, mark your calendar for the morning of August 8th. That’s the one to go for. Everything else is a write-off.

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.
