The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s look at what Clovelly Bombie has in store. This is a gnarly reef break for advanced surfers only, and it’s inconsistent, needing the swell from ENE to really shape up. The water temp is 64°, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
The whole 16-day window starts quiet and rough. There’s a long dry spell with no real surf. On Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th of September, we get tiny, sloppy waves with cross or onshore breezes and weak energy – nothing to get excited about. The energy numbers are low: 121 (Thursday morning) and 168 (Thursday afternoon). Saturday the 12th is the first chance: morning brings 4ft from the SSE with an 11-second period, glassy on a 5 mph west wind, and a combined energy of 457. That’s moderate energy, and the glassy conditions mean it’ll be clean. It’s small, but for an advanced local, the Saturday morning session could be a real treat. Right after that, the surf drops back into tiny or onshore junk until Friday the 18th.
Now here’s the one to circle: Saturday the 19th of September. Early morning offers 2ft from the SSE on a long 17-second period groundswell. Energy is 224 (moderate), wind is light from the north at 6 mph, cross-off and clean. That long period groundswell suits this reef nicely, though it can make waves a little straight. Crowds are a “sometimes” thing here, so expect some company.
Then Sunday the 20th of September brings a bigger set: 7ft from the SSE in the morning, 11-second period, combined energy of 883 – that’s strong. Wind is from the WNW at 9 mph, cross-off and clean. This is expert territory. The afternoon drops to 6ft with more cross-chop. The morning is the pick, no question.
Monday the 21st goes back to 4ft with a shorter 10-second period and light cross-on wind – just marginal. After that, it’s more poor conditions and tiny waves through the end of the window.
So the two standout windows are Saturday morning the 12th for a clean, small session, and the real big winner is Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th of September, with Sunday morning being the absolute best – big, clean, powerful groundswell. Don’t miss it.
Rusty.
