The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. We’re looking at Clovelly Bombie, and honestly, the first week is a bit of a write-off. That’s a tough stretch from the 15th all the way through to the 19th of July – nothing but poor surf conditions and a lot of wind messing things up. The swell that does show is small, weak, and the wind is just all wrong. It’s a real bummer.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Monday the 20th. The morning session is where it’s at. The swell jumps up to 6ft from the ENE, with a 10-second period pushing some decent energy (596). But the real kicker is the wind – WSW at just 3 mph, blowing straight offshore. That’s going to groom the reef beautifully. It’s a clean, high-quality wave for the advanced crew. Expect very good conditions. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there. Just keep in mind this spot is a ledge for experts only, and it’s inconsistent – it doesn’t break often, so when it does, it’s a special event. Crowds are possible, but with the long flat spell before it, it might be a bit quieter.
The afternoon of the 20th gets a bit messy with a cross-onshore breeze, so the morning is the clear winner. Tuesday the 21st morning is still okay, with 5ft and a cross-offshore breeze, but it’s not as good as Monday. The energy drops a bit (370).
After that, the swell fades out again. By the 24th, we’re back to tiny, weak waves, and the wind is messy. There’s another small window on the morning of the 30th of July – a Thursday morning – with a clean offshore wind and 4ft from the SSE, but the period is short (8 seconds) and the energy is moderate (327). It’s surfable, but nothing to get too excited about.
So, the standout moment is without a doubt Monday morning the 20th of July at Clovelly Bombie. That’s your best shot for a clean, solid wave in this 16-day window.
