The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Lookin' at the next 16 days for Clovelly Bombie – and it's a slow start, no two ways about it. The first few days, from Thursday 16 July through to Saturday 18 July, are a total write-off: strong cross-shore winds, rain, and not a scrap of rideable surf. You'd be better off stayin' home.
Then Sunday 19 July brings a bit of a tease – a 5.6 ft ENE swell rolls in, period 10 seconds, with moderate energy (706). But the wind is cross or cross-onshore, the conditions are marginal, and the score is only just enough to call it surfable. Don't get your hopes up too high.
Now, Monday 20 July morning – that's the one. Finally, the stars line up. A clean 4.9 ft ENE swell, 10-second period, with a light offshore breeze from the west at about 6 mph. The combined energy sits at 433 – that's proper moderate punch. The wind is offshore, so the face will be glassy. This is a standout session for you advanced crew. Remember, Clovelly Bombie is a reef break, it's inconsistent, and it can get crowded sometimes, so get in early. The swell direction matches the optimum ENE perfectly, so expect some nice lines.
Tuesday 21 July morning is also worth a look – similar setup, a little smaller at 4.3 ft, still clean with a light cross-offshore breeze, and energy at 321. Another good one, but Monday is the pick.
After that, things fade. Wednesday 22 July morning still has a clean 3.6 ft, but by afternoon it's choppy. From Thursday 23 July onwards, the swell drops below 3 ft, the wind turns messy, and the energy levels fall off a cliff. The rest of the
