The Lowdown
Alright, let's get into it. The next couple of weeks are a bit of a mixed bag, but there are definitely some windows to get wet.
The main action is at Clovelly Bombie, a heavy reef setup that's strictly for the experienced crew. This spot is inconsistent, so when it lines up, you've got to be on it.
We start off with nothing doing on the 31st of July – flat and poor. The first real hope comes in on Saturday morning, the 1st of August. We're looking at a clean 5ft swell from the SSE, with a light cross-offshore breeze from the SW. The period is a short 9 seconds, so the energy is moderate (349), but the conditions will be clean. It's a bit small for the Bombie, but it's a start.
Sunday morning, the 2nd of August, is shaping up to be the standout of the first week. The swell is 5ft from the SSE, but the period jumps to a solid 12 seconds. That's a proper groundswell, and the combined energy is strong at 739. With a light NNW cross-offshore breeze, it's going to be glassy. This is very good surf for the big wave spot.
The rest of the week drops off. Monday the 3rd is small, and by Tuesday the 4th it's tiny. There's a bit of a rebound on Friday the 7th, with a 5ft SSE swell, but the wind is a moderate SSW cross-offshore, making it marginal. The weekend on the 8th and 9th looks promising again. Saturday morning, the 8th, offers a clean 5ft swell from the SSE with a 10-second period and light offshore WSW wind. The energy is moderate (498). Sunday morning the 9th is also clean with a 4ft swell from the SE and light NNW winds.
The second week is a bit of a desert. After the 9th, it gets messy with onshore winds and choppy conditions. The 11th and 12th of August see some small, ordinary waves with offshore winds, but nothing to get excited about. From the 13th onward, strong to fresh SW winds blow through, keeping the surf poor and small. We're looking at a solid run of flat-to-ugly from the 10th right through to the 15th.
So, your best bet is to hit the Sunday morning session on the 2nd of August. That's the clear winner. The Saturday morning on the 8th is a solid backup option. Keep in mind that Clovelly Bombie is a spot that can get crowded on a good day, so expect some company.

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.
