The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Right, the outlook is a bit of a slow burner, to be honest. We’ve got a few days of nothing special to get through before a decent window opens up. The first real chance to get wet is on Sunday the 19th, but it's a bit of a mixed bag. The swell is pumping up to 6.9ft from the ENE, with a period of 11 seconds, and the combined energy is a meaty 1072, which is a lot of water moving around. But the wind is a cross-onshore, so it's going to be choppy and messy. This is more of a look-see day than a paddling-out day, unless you're an expert on a big board. The water is sitting at 62.1°F, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year.
The real standout comes on Monday the 20th. The morning at Clovelly Bombie is where it's at. The swell is a solid 5.2ft from the ENE, with a 10-second period, and the energy is a strong 529. The wind is swinging around to the NW, blowing cross-offshore, which is going to clean those lines right up. It’s an inconsistent, advanced reef break, so it won't be for everyone, but for those who know the place, this is the session to target. The afternoon looks like it'll get blown out by a NE wind, so get on it early.
Tuesday the 21st morning is another good call. The swell is still 4.3ft from the ENE, combined energy of 339, and the wind is light and cross-off from the NNW. It's clean, it's surfable, but it won't be quite as much power as Monday. The period is still 10 seconds, so a nice groundswell feel.
After that, it drops off. There’s a few tiny, clean days with offshore winds later in the month, like the 23rd and the 25th, but the swell is too small to get excited about. The 1st of August has a bit of a pulse from the SSE with a very long period of 20 seconds, but the swell height is only 0.1ft, so it's more of a promise than a reality. Overall, your best bet is the Monday morning session on the 20th.
