The Lowdown

Alright folks, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Clovelly Bombie over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, so listen up.

First off, the standout session and the one I’d be circling on the calendar is Saturday the 12th of September. Monday the 7th has a clean little wave, but Saturday is where it’s at. We’ve got a 5 ft SSE swell rolling in with a period of 11 seconds. That longer period means a bit more grunt and shape in the water. The wind is a light WNW breeze, which is cross-offshore, so the face will be clean as a whistle. The combined energy reading is 551 (moderate) — enough to get you into a few. It’s an exposed reef, so it won’t be wall-to-wall, and because it’s inconsistent, you’ll have to be patient, but when it comes through it’ll be worth it. Clovelly Bombie is a local reef setup, and the water temp is about 64° which is pretty much average for this time of year — nothing weird going on there.

Now, for the rest of the run. Monday morning the 7th kicks things off with a clean 4 ft SSE swell, light NW cross-off wind and a solid ESE direction. Combined energy is 258 (still moderate). Perfectly surfable for the experienced crew — it’s an advanced wave, so don’t take the kids. The sky is clear, and conditions are clean.

Monday afternoon on the 7th turns to trash with a 5 ft swell but an onshore E breeze, so it’ll be a messy close-out. Forget it.

Tuesday the 8th is no good either. The morning is a solid 8 ft SSE swell, but with a 15 mph crosswind and a short 9-second period, it’s going to be lumpy and chopped. The energy is 860 — that’s pushing strong — but the quality won't be there. That’s a brown-paper-bag day for the kites, not the paddle surfers. The afternoon drops to 6 ft but it’s still average.

Wednesday the 9th is an absolute write-off. Swell drops to 2 ft with a nasty 19 mph SSW wind, and by the afternoon it’s 31 mph from the south with a 0.7 ft lump. Get the kettle on.

Thursday the 10th through to Friday the 11th is mostly small and junky. The swell barely registers, with light rain and strong crosswinds making it a no-go.

Then we hit Saturday the 12th — that’s the one I talked about. Make it happen if you can.

Sunday the 13th has a small 3 ft SSE swell with a 9-second period and a north crosswind. It’s marginal at best. Maybe a longboard if you’re desperate, but I’d give it a miss.

From Monday the 14th right through to Tuesday the 22nd of September, it’s a long, dry spell. The swell drops to tiny — mostly under 2 ft — and winds are all over the shop. There’s a moment on Tuesday the 22nd morning where the wind goes glassy and the swell is 2 ft from the NE with an 8-second period. It’s surfable but very ordinary, and you’d be fighting the crowds for ankle-biters.

Bottom line: the only true standout is Saturday the 12th of September. The rest is a waiting game. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but right now, that Saturday is your best bet for a proper session.

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.

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.
