Table - best surf conditions forecast for Clovelly Bombie over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s get into it for Clovelly Bombie. This is a heavy reef setup for the advanced crew only, and it’s an inconsistent spot, so you gotta pick your moment.
Water temp is sitting about normal for the time of year.
Thursday the 9th is a no-go. 1.7m SE swell with a light cross breeze and marginal conditions. Energy is 729 (moderate). Not worth the effort.
Friday the 10th is the standout. Morning has glassy conditions with 1.7m SE swell and energy at 502 (moderate). The wind is dead calm. Afternoon stays glassy with 1.6m and similar energy (520). That’s the session. The swell period is 9 seconds, which isn’t long period, but it’s enough to get the Bombie wedging. Best on offer across the whole outlook.
Saturday the 11th sees smaller 1.1m in the morning with clean cross-off wind, energy 363 (moderate). Still fun, but nothing like Friday. Afternoon gets choppy with cross-on wind and only 0.9m, so skip it.
Sunday the 12th through Thursday the 17th is a major flat spell. Swell drops to knee-high or nothing. Even with offshore wind, the energy is in the single or low double digits – super weak. By the 16th and 17th, gale-force winds crank up with 2.3m lumpy swell, but it’s blown to bits. More for kite-surfers than paddlers.
From the 18th to the 24th, small clean waves appear but never top 1m. Sunday the 19th morning has a clean 0.9m with light cross wind, but the energy is only 90 (weak). Not much to work with.
Bottom line – Friday the 10th is your only real shot. After that, the waiting game begins.
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.
