Howdy, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Clovelly Bombie over the next couple of weeks. This is an advanced reef break that only turns on when conditions line up—it’s inconsistent, so you gotta keep an eye on it. Crowds can show up sometimes, but the crew here know their stuff. Water temp is about 65°F, right around normal for this time of year.
First few days are dead. Saturday July 4th and Sunday the 5th have tiny, weak swell—0.7 to 0.7 ft—with jumbled wind. Nothing doing. Monday the 6th morning finally sees some size, but it’s messy: 8 ft SSE swell, cross-shore winds, lumpy. The combined energy climbs from 1086 to 3337 (moderate to strong), but the quality is poor. Tuesday the 7th is a bit cleaner with offshore cross-off winds, but still 8–10 ft swell and marginal conditions. Wednesday through Friday (8th to 10th) stay around 8–8 ft SSE, winds turning more favorable (cross-off), but it’s still only marginal with moderate energy around 1000–1100. You could paddle out, but it won’t be epic.
Then here’s the first bright spot. Saturday July 11th morning: a light offshore wind (W 15 km/h / 9 mph), swell drops to 5 ft from SSE, period 10 seconds, energy 375 (moderate). The report says “expect good surf conditions”—and that’s your best clean window for the first week. It’s not huge, but it’s fun and manageable for advanced surfers.
After that, Sunday the 12th morning has 3 ft, then Monday the 13th drops to 1 ft, and Tuesday through Wednesday the 14th and 15th go flat (zero energy). So you’ve got a big dry spell from the 12th afternoon through the 15th morning.
Now the real standout is a week later. Sunday July 19th morning: a solid 12 ft SSE groundswell, period 10 seconds, light offshore wind (SW 15 km/h / 9 mph), and combined energy of 3739—that’s strong. The bombie will be pumping, but this is for experts only. Anything over 8 ft is big; 12 ft is serious. The swell direction isn’t the absolute optimum (ENE), but with clean offshore wind and that energy, it’ll be a show. Saturday the 18th afternoon has even more energy (5701) but with lumpy cross-shore winds, so the 19th morning wins.
Bottom line: don’t bother with the first week except Saturday 11th morning, then a quiet stretch, then a major swell hits Sunday 19th morning—only for those with the guts and skill. Keep an eye on it. 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. Our Clovelly Bombie surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. 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.
