The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down in feet and miles.
You’re going to be waiting a bit for the first real surf. It starts to look like something on Friday the 31st of July, but it’s a weak start. The main event comes in on the weekend.
The one to really set your watch by is Clovelly Bombie. This is a serious, expert-only reef that doesn’t break often. The best session is Sunday morning, the 2nd of August. We’ve got a 5ft swell from the SSE, with a long 12-second period – that’s proper groundswell, and the combined energy is a solid 743. The wind is light and offshore from the NNW, so the reef is going to be glassy. The crowd factor is “sometimes,” so you might have to share. If you’re skilled enough, this is the one.
Saturday the 1st of August is also good. The swell is a touch smaller at 5ft from the SSE, but the morning has a light cross-offshore breeze, and the afternoon goes glassy. The water temp is about 63°, which is normal for the season.
After that Sunday, the swell drops fast. From Monday the 3rd, it’s mostly under 3ft and weak. There’s a little pulse on the 7th of August – 5ft from the SSE, 9-second period, with clean offshore wind – but the combined energy is 408, so it’s decent but not a repeat of the weekend. The rest of the week is flat and small, with most days below 2ft.
The second week, from the 9th to the 15th, is pretty much a bust. Tiny waves, poor winds, and no energy. The 11th morning has a tiny 2ft ESE swell with an 11-second period and offshore wind, but it’s just ordinary.
So, your best bet is the weekend of the 1st and 2nd. Sunday morning is the standout. The Bombie is a rare wave, so when it’s on, you go.
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.

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.
