G’day, Rusty here. And, mate, I’m gonna be straight with you—this Clovelly Bombie run is a tough one. We’re looking at a massive 16‑day window, and honestly, the first week is a write-off. You won’t find any decent surf until a tiny glimmer shows up on Friday the 10th of July. There’s a solid nine‑day stretch from now that’s basically empty.
The early part has a pulse of big, messy energy—Monday the 6th and Tuesday the 7th see swell heights of 8ft to 10ft from the SSE/SE, with a combined wave energy reading 1406 to 2223 (strong to very strong), but it’s all cross‑shore wind or cross‑off at best, and the waves are lumpy and chopped. That’s more of a kite‑surfing scene than a paddle session. Even Wednesday the 8th hangs onto 8ft swell (cross‑off wind, energy at 2436), but it’s still marginal, and the tidal conditions are questionable.
Now, for the only real standout in the whole period. Friday morning, July 10th is where it’s at. The swell drops to a much more manageable 6ft from the SE (period 9 seconds) and, most importantly, the wind goes WNW at 6 mph—offshore. That’s glassy‑clean. The combined wave energy sits at 587 (moderate), so it’s got some push but isn’t out of control. Clovelly Bombie is an advanced, inconsistent reef break, and the swell direction isn’t its ideal optimum (ENE), but with that offshore wind and a clean face, it’ll be the best you’ll see in this outlook. Keep in mind, crowds are possible here sometimes, and with only one decent window, you can bet a few locals will be on it. Water temp is about 64°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
Saturday the 11th morning still offers 4ft from the SE with light WNW cross‑off wind, giving you a clean, surfable session (energy 382, moderate), but it’s a step down. After that, the swell fades fast. From Sunday the 12th onward, we’re looking at 3ft and dropping, with mostly poor or ordinary conditions all the way through to July 20th. The last week is flat, with heights under 2ft and combined energy values barely reaching double digits.
In short: Friday morning 10th is your one and only real shot. It’s a short window, but with offshore wind and a solid 6ft SE swell, it’s worth the paddle. After that, it’s back to waiting for the next system.
Rusty.

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.
