The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down what's on the menu for Clovelly Bombie over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, it's flat. We're talking a whole lot of nothing for the first few days. The water temp is sitting at 64°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, nothing unusual there.
Thursday the 31st of July and Friday the 1st of August look like a write-off, with tiny surf and junk winds. Don't even bother waxing up.
Now, Saturday the 1st of August morning is where things get interesting. The swell jumps up to 5ft from the SSE with a 10-second period, packing a solid moderate energy punch (480). The wind is a light northwesterly, blowing cross-offshore, which should keep it clean. This is your best window. Keep in mind, this spot is a reef, and it's inconsistent, so you'll need to be patient and know what you're doing. It's an advanced wave only.
Sunday the 2nd of August morning is still a good option, with a 4ft SSE swell and a clean cross-off breeze. The energy is still solid (333). But the afternoon gets chopped out by a cross-onshore wind.
Monday the 3rd of August is a drop-off. The swell fades to 2ft, and the conditions are just ordinary. You might get a few, but it's nothing to write home about.
After that, it's pretty much back to flat and poor conditions for the rest of the first week and into the second. There's a pulse of bigger swell around Thursday the 6th of August, with 6ft from the SSE and strong energy (645-759), but the wind is howling from the south, making it a messy, choppy mess. Not worth it.
The rest of the run into mid-August is a bust. The swell tries to pop up again on the 7th – 7ft from the SSE with a long 12-second period – but the wind is onshore from the ENE, making it a total washout. The energy is massive (1394), but you'll be fighting a stiff onshore breeze. For a reef break, that's a recipe for a beating, not a good time.
So, to sum it up: your one and only real standout is Saturday morning, the 1st of August. Get it while it's clean. Everything else is a long shot or a full-on battle with the wind.
Rusty.
