The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s look at what’s on offer for Clovelly Bombie over the next couple of weeks.
We’re starting off flat and messy. The first real chance of a wave comes on Friday, September 18th. That morning, the wind turns light from the NNW, cleaning things right up. We’ve got a 4ft SSE swell rolling in at 9 seconds, with moderate energy in the water (267). Not huge, but clean and surfable – a good little Friday morning if you can sneak out. Water temp is about 63°, which is a touch cooler than usual for this time of year, so grab a spring suit.
The real standout lands on Wednesday, September 23rd. Another morning session with that same clean, cross-off wind from the NNW, barely a puff at 3 mph. Swell is 4ft from the SSE, but with a much longer 12-second period, pumping solid energy (496). That longer period means better shape and more grunt, perfect for a reef like this, though the sets will be a bit more spaced out. This is the best of the whole run.
There’s a big spike in energy on Tuesday, September 29th, with a 10ft SSE swell (2269 energy) – but the wind is onshore and it’s going to be a mess. That’s for experts only, and even then it’s a rough paddle. Not one for most.
The rest of the period is mostly cross-shore or onshore breezes, small swells, or just plain choppy. There’s a long quiet stretch after the 23rd until that big, lumpy spike at the end.
So, bottom line: Friday the 18th morning for a fun, clean wave, and Wednesday the 23rd morning as the clear standout – clean conditions, decent size, and proper groundswell power.
Rusty.
