The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s have a look at what’s coming up.
First up, this stretch is looking pretty grim for a long while. The first surf worth mentioning at Clovelly Bombie (a reef setup that’s inconsistent) doesn't show up until Monday morning, the 20th of July. Before that, it’s a write-off – Saturday and Sunday are plagued with cross-onshore winds and choppy, poor surf. The water temp is sitting at 62°, which is about 2° cooler than usual for this time of year, so nothing too wild there.
Monday morning, 20th July is the standout of the whole outlook. We’ve got a clean 6ft swell from the ENE, wrapping in with a solid 11-second period – that’s proper groundswell energy. The wind is light and cross-off from the WNW, so the surface will be glassy and clean. The combined energy is moderate (628). This is a reef break that needs the right direction, and ENE is right in its sweet spot. Best on offer by a long shot. Just be aware, it’s an advanced wave and it’s inconsistent – you’ll need to be patient and know what you’re doing.
The rest of the week is a real letdown. Tuesday morning (21st) is clean but the swell drops to 4ft, and the energy is weaker (314). Wednesday morning (22nd) has clean offshore wind from the W, but the swell is only 3ft with a short 9-second period – it’s surfable, but nothing special. By Thursday and Friday (23rd-24th July), the swell fades to tiny, and the wind turns nasty. There’s a long gap of poor conditions.
We get a brief flicker on Saturday morning, 25th July – a tiny 1ft swell from the SSE with a very long 17-second period. The wind is light offshore from the W, so it’ll be clean, but the combined energy is weak (108) and the size is tiny. Not really worth a paddle.
After that, it’s a desert of flatness and onshore winds right through the end of July and into August. The end of the window (31st July to 2nd August) sees a pulse of bigger swell – 6ft to 7ft – but it’s coming with strong onshore winds and rain, making it a messy, windy disaster. The wind is so strong and cross-onshore at times that this setup starts looking more interesting for kite surfing than a proper paddle session.
Honestly, if you’ve got a window, make it Monday morning the 20th. That’s the only real highlight. Lock it in.
