The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. We’ve got a 16-day look at Clovelly Bombie, and to be honest, it’s a pretty lean run. The first real chance to paddle out doesn’t come until Tuesday morning, the 21st of July.
For the first week, the pattern is mostly small, weak energy. The swell is coming from the ENE, which is right on the money for what this reef wants, but it just doesn’t have the guts. The water temp is sitting around 63°, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.
The one standout in this whole period is the early session on Tuesday, the 21st of July. We’ve got a 4ft swell from the ENE with a 10-second period, producing a moderate 321 units of combined energy. The wind is a light NNW cross-off, which will keep the face clean. Conditions are looking good, and this is a solid option for the advanced crew that knows this wave. Be aware, this break is inconsistent and crowds are possible, so pick your moment.
After that, Wednesday morning the 22nd sees a 3ft ENE swell with a clean offshore W wind, but the energy drops off to 175 units. It’s surfable, but nothing special. The rest of that week and into the next is a desert of tiny waves, mostly under 2ft, with poor surf conditions. There’s a long gap of several days where there’s simply nothing to recommend.
Looking way ahead to the 4th of August, we get a puff of life. Tuesday morning shows a 3ft SSE swell with a 16-second period, carrying 377 units of energy, and a light offshore W wind. That long period from the SSE is a bit of a caveat here at the Bombie, as it’s a reef setup and can get a little weird with groundswell, but it’s clean and the best of the second week by a long shot. The afternoon of the 4th gets a spike to 8ft from the SSE, but it’s too big for most and the cross-on wind will chop it up. That’s strictly for the experts only.
So, bottom line: if you’re keen, make the most of Tuesday morning the 21st. Everything else is a long wait for a maybe.
Rusty.
