The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for us.
First off, I gotta be straight with you – the next few days are a write-off. We’re talking tiny, weak dribble with no energy behind it. The swell is barely a ripple, and the conditions are just as frustrating. Nothing worth paddling out for until we hit the weekend.
Saturday, August 1st is when things finally start to turn. Clovelly Bombie (reef) wakes up with a solid 5 ft SSE swell carrying a moderate energy (395). The wind is light and offshore in the morning, which is a beautiful sight. This is a tricky, advanced wave at the best of times, and it's inconsistent, but for those who know the peak, the Saturday morning session is the one to target. The water temp is feeling about average for this time of year.
Sunday, August 2nd keeps the momentum going. The morning sees a similar 5 ft SSE swell, but the period stretches out to 11 seconds, packing a bit more punch (476 energy). With a light NNW cross-offshore breeze, the face will be clean. This is a genuine standout – the best looking window of the whole outlook. The bigger, longer period groundswell will suit this reef break perfectly.
There’s a bit of a lull through the middle of the week with smaller, ordinary surf, but don’t sleep on Friday, August 7th. The morning brings a punchy 6 ft SSE swell, and the energy jumps up to 774 – that’s a serious amount of power. A gentle offshore breeze from the west will keep it glassy. This is big, expert-only territory. If you’re not comfortable in heavy water over 8 ft, sit this one out. For the crew who live for the drop, that Friday morning is the call.
After that, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. The weekend of the 8th and 9th has some clean windows but the swell backs off. The following week looks inconsistent again, with a brief spike of 5 ft on Wednesday, August 12th, but the period is short (8 seconds), so it’ll be a bit crumbly and not as powerful as the earlier groundswell.
So, to wrap it up: the best bet is Sunday, August 2nd morning for the best combo of size, clean wind, and quality. The second standout is Friday, August 7th morning for the big-wave hunters.
Stay salty.
Rusty.
