The Lowdown
Alright, let's get into it. To be straight with you, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty thin. Lots of small, choppy, onshore junk, and not much real swell on the horizon. You might be better off doing some stretching and waiting for better days.
The first day that even gets close to worth a look is Tuesday the 8th. We’re seeing the swell bump to 7ft on Tuesday morning, with a combined energy of 839 units (moderate). It's from the SSE, which is cross-offshore, and the wind is light from the SSW, so it might clean up a bit. But it's a low-percentage call, and the period is only 9 seconds, so it will lack punch. By the afternoon, it’s up to 8ft and the energy jumps to 1191 (strong), with a better 11-second period, but the wind swings onshore from the east. That’ll chop it up pretty quickly. This is bigger surf over 5ft, so not a beginner wave, but it’s not massive either. With the mixed winds, Tuesday looks like the pick of a bad bunch, but it isn't a standout.
Wednesday the 9th morning is the one that stands out. The swell is still a solid 5ft from the SSE with 334 units of energy (moderate), but the wind is offshore from the WNW and light. That combination – clean conditions with some size – is about as good as it gets. The period is only 9 seconds, but it should still offer up some shape on the reef. If you can get out there early on Wednesday, that’s the window. Wednesday afternoon it gets blown out with a 35 km/h cross-shore from the SSE, so you'll want to be done by then.
After that, it drops off hard. The energy fades away, and we’re looking at a lot of slop, with strong winds and tiny waves. There’s a brief pulse of around 6ft around the 14th, but it's all short-period windswell and onshore, so the quality is shot. Honestly, it’s not looking like a great run for the rest of the window.
One thing to mention: the water temp is sitting at about 64°F, which is roughly 0.7°F below average for this time of year. Nothing crazy, just a touch on the cool side.
So, to wrap it up: your best bet is a dawn patrol on Wednesday the 9th. It won't be world-class, but with light offshore wind and a bit of size, Clovelly Bombie might just give you a couple of clean ones. The rest is a write-off, unless you’re keen to just get wet and not care about the conditions. The forecast could change, but right now, that Wednesday window is the one to circle. This is Rusty, signing off.
