The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming for Clovelly Bombie.
First off, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – it’s looking real lean for a long while. We’ve got a big gap of nothing much worth paddling out for. The first slot that shows up is Saturday, 22 August, and it’s a total dud. We’re talking almost no decent surf across the whole two-week window.
On Saturday morning, 22 August, there’s a tiny 1ft NE windswell with a 6-second period – that’s junk – and combined energy of just 6. The wind is offshore at 12 mph, so clean, but the waves are too small. Water temp is 62°F, about 2°F colder than usual, so it’s a bit on the cool side.
Sunday morning, 23 August, gives you a fleeting moment: a 1ft SSE groundswell with a very long 16-second period, offshore breeze, and combined energy hitting 62. It’s surfable but barely – the direction is way off the optimum ENE, and it’s just not a wave you’d call your buddies about.
Then it’s back to poor surf for days. Swell stays under 3ft, mostly from ENE or SSE, periods short, and wind often cross-on or onshore. There are a few clean windows – like Wednesday 26 August morning with a 3ft ENE swell at 8 seconds, 15 mph offshore wind, and combined energy up to 103. That’s moderate, but still very average.
If I had to pick one day that’s the least bad, it’d be Wednesday morning, 26 August. Clean conditions, a touch of energy, but nothing special.
Biggest wave we see is on Thursday, 3 September: 4ft from SSE at 7 seconds, combined energy 164, clean with NW wind at 15 mph. Short period though, and direction is off – not a wave to get excited over.
Beginners should steer clear of anything over 5ft, but nothing here hits that. This is flat or small across the board, and for the experts, there’s nothing challenging.
Clovelly Bombie is a reef break that’s inconsistent and rarely breaks – that’s just how it is around here. This kind of dead spell is normal. Don’t lose hope, forecasts shift, and it’s bound to pick up sooner or later.
Rusty.
