G’day, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming for Clovelly Bombie (Clovelly-Bombie).
Right off the bat, there’s a solid push of swell, but conditions are rough for the first few days. The water temp is about average for the time of year.
Tuesday, July 7, kicks off with a 10ft SSE swell from the southeast, period around 10 seconds, and a combined energy reading of 2091 (strong). Wind is screaming from the SSW at 19 mph, cross-off. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing—it’s raw and hard to handle. Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday stay big (8ft to 11ft), but with strong cross and cross-off winds, it’ll be lumpy and messy.
Thursday and Friday back down. Thursday morning offers a 6ft SSE swell (753 combined energy – moderate) with a light SSW cross-off breeze at 12 mph—clean and manageable. This is the first decent window. Friday morning, July 10, drops to 5ft SE with a light SW cross-off at 6 mph—clean and workable. Not a standout, but a decent paddle.
Saturday, July 11, the swell falls to 4ft SE (270 combined energy – weak), but the wind swings offshore from the W at 12 mph in the afternoon—glassy and clean. Good for a small-wave session.
Then we hit a long flat spell. From Sunday, July 12, through Monday, July 20, the surf drops to knee-high or flat. Combined energy readings stay between 3 and 186 (very weak to moderate). There’s a tiny blip on Thursday, July 16, with a 1ft SSE swell carrying a very long 18-second period (106 combined energy – weak), but it’s tiny and the wind is strong. That’s nearly 8 days of nothing worth paddling for.
But hang on—Tuesday, July 21, is the real standout. Morning brings a massive 15ft SSE swell (12-second period) and combined energy of 6100 (very strong). That’s groundswell with serious grunt. The wind is light from the SW at 9 mph, clean offshore. This is over 8ft, so experts only. The long period and SSE direction work well with the optimum ENE, so the reef will fire. Crowds are sometimes an issue, so expect a few locals on it. This is the best day of the whole outlook.
Wednesday, July 22, follows with a 10ft SSE swell (10-second period, combined energy 1905 – strong) and clean offshore WNW winds at 9 mph. Another good day for experienced surfers, but not quite the same power.
So to sum it up: the first week is average with a few clean small-to-medium days. Then a long dry stretch. Then a heavy swell window on July 21 and 22—that’s the one to get stoked about.
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.

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.
