The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening at Clovelly Bombie. This is a reef break that only suits advanced surfers, and it doesn’t break all that often.
Over the next 16 days, it’s slim pickings. There’s no real standout session to get excited about. The first chance of anything comes Tuesday morning on August 25th. That session offers waves around 5 ft from the NE, with a 7-second period. Wind is cross-off from the NNW at 12 mph, keeping the surface clean. The combined swell energy sits at 315, so there’s moderate push behind it. It’s far from perfect, but it’s the most rideable moment in this whole window.
After that, things turn sour. The rest of the week and the start of September is filled with poor surf – lumpy, choppy, or just plain small. Combined energy numbers are mostly below 150. Not much to work with.
A small glimmer shows Saturday morning September 5th: a clean but tiny 2 ft swell from the SE, with a nice long 12-second period. Light onshore wind. The combined energy hits 394, which is moderate, but at this size, it’s barely going to break on the Bombie. Only a marginal call.
Water temp is around 63°, which is about average for the time of year.
Honestly, if this was a beach break I’d say it looks better for a kite. But it’s a reef, so just take the time off and wait.
Rusty.

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. 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.
