Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s see what’s shaking.

We’ve got a serious pulse of energy hitting the Clovelly Bombie (reef). This is a big, powerful, and very exposed spot, and it’s going to be absolutely pumping – but it’s for experts only. We’re looking at a solid 10ft swell from the SSE on Tuesday morning, with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy is a massive 2197 (moderate to strong wave energy). The water temp is sitting at 63°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, just a touch on the cooler side. The real issue here is the wind. Tuesday morning has a fresh 19 mph cross-off from the SSW, which is cleaning it up, but that’s a lot of wind on a big wave. Tuesday afternoon gets worse, with a cross-shore wind making it lumpy. This is a session for the very experienced, and you’ll want to be wary of the size.

Wednesday and Thursday see the swell dropping but staying solid. Wednesday morning has 8ft from the SE with a 10-second period and a moderate cross-shore wind, making for a lumpy, challenging session. Thursday morning drops to 6ft, with a light breeze making things cleaner, but it’s still a cross-shore wind, so it’s not perfect. The combined energy is still decent at 826 (moderate). This is still a big, heavy wave.

Now, the standout. For my money, the best window comes on Friday morning, the 10th of July. The swell is a more manageable 5ft from the SE, but the period is still 9 seconds, giving it some push. The combined energy is 424 (moderate). The wind is a light 6 mph cross-off from the SW. That’s the key – light, clean wind on a solid, powerful reef wave. It’s going to be clean. It’s still an advanced wave, but the conditions will be way better than the earlier big days. This is the pick of the fortnight.

Saturday morning, the 11th, is also worth a mention. The swell is down to 4ft from the SE, but the wind is a clean cross-off from the NW at 9 mph. The combined energy is 340 (moderate). It’ll be a fun, smaller day on the Bombie, but it’s a step down in size.

After that, the bottom falls out. From Sunday the 12th all the way through to Friday the 17th, we’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, near-flat conditions. The combined energy drops to less than 100, and most days it’s between 0 and 95. This is a proper lull, about 5 days of nothing to get excited about. It’s a blank run.

Then, on Friday morning, the 17th of July, we get a little pulse of life. A 5ft swell from the SSE with a 10-second period, and combined energy of 370 (moderate). The wind is light and cross-shore, so it’s a bit messy, but it’s the first sign of anything in a week. Saturday the 18th morning has a 3ft swell from the SSE with a clean cross-off wind, but it’s small, and the energy is only 171 (weak to moderate). It’s surfable, but nothing special.

The rest of the window into the 22nd looks small and weak, with a few tiny pulses of windswell that aren’t worth chasing.

Overall, the best wave is absolutely Friday morning, July 10th. It’s the best combination of size, clean wind, and decent energy. The earlier big days are too gnarly for most, and the rest is a flat spell. Get out there on Friday if you’re keen.

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.

Clovelly Bombie is 3 km (2 miles) from Randwick. If you plan a holiday in Sydney South Coast, look for hotels and other accommodation in Randwick. Randwick has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
