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.

Information about the Clovelly Bombie Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Clovelly Bombie provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Clovelly Bombie can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Clovelly Bombie may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
