The Lowdown

Hey folks, it’s Rusty again, but I’ll flip the numbers for you. Here’s the outlook for the same stretch in imperial units.

We’re starting off slow at Clovelly Bombie. The first few days are small and sloppy with weak swells and messy cross-shore winds. There’s a gap of flat or garbage conditions until Friday the 28th of August, when we finally see some life. That morning is the standout: a 5ft swell from the SSE, period around 11 seconds, and light cross-offshore winds. It’s clean, solid wave energy (598), and for a reef setup like this, it’s the real deal. The water is about 62°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so nothing unusual.

Friday afternoon goes downhill with a bumpy cross-shore chop, so get out early. Saturday the 29th of August offers another decent window: a 4ft SSE swell, light cross-off breeze, and clean conditions (280 energy). It’s good, but not as sharp as Friday. Then we hit a long quiet patch. Sunday the 30th is tiny, and Monday the 31st of August turns glassy with a very long-period 16-second groundswell at only 2ft. That long period gives the waves shape but can make them wall up at the break – still, it’s a nice, mellow session with moderate energy (218).

From Tuesday the 1st of September, it fades back to small and average. There’s a spike on Tuesday the 8th of September: a 7ft NE swell with light offshore wind and strong energy (650). That’s heavy water, but the period’s only 7 seconds, so it’ll be a messy, powerful close-out – for experts only. Wednesday the 9th is wrecked by near-gale winds. The rest is just small and weak.

Your best bet? The morning of Friday the 28th of August – that SSE swell with clean wind and good energy is the pick. Also watch the morning of Tuesday the 8th of September for the bigger, rougher NE set. Clovelly Bombie is a rare-break that only fires a few times, and this forecast gives you two chances. Beyond that, it’s a waiting game.

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. Our Clovelly Bombie surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Clovelly Bombie) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
