The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty. Let’s cut to it. We’ve got a solid window ahead, but it’s a slow burner at Clovelly Bombie. The first few days are flat out poor—nothing worth paddling out for. Water temps are a touch colder than normal for this time of year, sitting around 62°F, so bring the rubber even when it does clean up.
The run starts proper on Friday the 7th. The swell bumps up to 3ft from the SSE with moderate energy to match (131), but it’s pretty ordinary. Cold, clean, but tiny. Saturday the 8th is even smaller. We’re really waiting for that push on Monday the 10th—a proper pulse arrives from the ENE at 5ft, with strong energy (389), and a strong offshore W wind. That’s your first real stand-out window. It’s a reef break, so it’ll handle that direction, but it’s an advanced wave. The offshore wind will hold it up, but at that size and with that wind, it’s going to be a battle to get in. Not for beginners—that’s for sure.
After that, the middle of the week drops off hard. Tuesday and Wednesday are back to tiny, weak slop. Then Friday the 14th picks up a bit, 4ft from the SSE with short period (7s), but the energy is weak to moderate (176). It’s surfable, but nothing special.
Then things get properly interesting. The real standout is Tuesday the 18th. That morning is pure magic: glassy conditions, a solid 5ft of SSE swell with very strong energy (570), and a long-ish 10s period. That’s the one you want. The report calls it “very good” and I’d believe it. It’s a point or reef-style wave at Clovelly Bombie, so that long period won’t just close out—it’ll give you some proper lines. After that, it stays active but messy with cross-shore winds through the 19th. Thursday the 20th cleans up again with light offshore NW wind and a fun 3ft SE swell (243), worth a look before it closes out.
So if you only pick one session, make it the morning of Tuesday the 18th. It’s a highlight. The Monday the 10th is a close second for the bigger swell, but you’ll have to work for it.
There’s a good gap in the first week, plenty of average days, but the good stuff does show. Keep the faith.
Rusty.
