Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming down the line for Clovelly Bombie (reef).
Clovelly Bombie
First off, this is an advanced spot that doesn't break often, so you have to be ready when it does. The water temp is sitting at about 65°, which is normal for this time of year.
Right now, we're in a flat spell. There's nothing doing on Friday the 3rd or Saturday the 4th—just tiny dribbles. Sunday the 5th is a no-go too. We're looking at a quiet start.
We skip ahead to Monday the 6th of July, and things finally wake up. The swell jumps to 8ft from the SSE with a moderate energy level (1064), but it's coming with a moderate cross-onshore breeze and some chop, making it a messy day. Not the one to get excited about.
The real standout window opens up on Tuesday the 8th of July. Wednesday the 8th morning is where it's at. We've got a clean 7ft swell from the SE, a gentle offshore wind from the W, and clean conditions. The wave energy is strong (967). This is the pick of the bunch for the whole outlook. For experienced surfers only, because that size is a handful—but with that offshore wind and a clean face, Clovelly Bombie could absolutely fire. Crowds are possible here on a good day, so keep that in mind.
Tuesday the 7th is worth a look, with 7ft to 8ft SSE swell, but the wind is cross-off or cross, so it won't be as clean as Wednesday morning.
After that, the swell backs off. Thursday the 9th has a smaller 5ft swell and clean conditions in the morning, which might be alright for a less intense session. Friday the 10th through to Sunday the 12th drops right off into tiny, ordinary waves. Then from Monday the 13th through Friday the 17th, it's pretty much flat or near-flat, with strong winds and no surf to speak of.
Then a curious note for Saturday the 18th—a huge 13ft SSE swell appears in the afternoon with a light cross-onshore breeze. The energy is enormous (3471), but conditions are marked as marginal. That's massive, expert-only territory, and the wind isn't doing us any favours. It's one to watch from the cliff if it even breaks clean.
Best bet? Clear your morning for Wednesday the 8th of July. That's the one.
Rusty.

Information about the Clovelly Bombie Surf forecast

A general guide to surfing at Clovelly Bombie can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
