The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at the local forecast.
First off, the next few days are a write-off. We’re looking at a week of tiny, weak leftovers with barely any energy. From Wednesday the 29th of July right through to Friday the 7th of August, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is under 1ft, and the combined energy is sitting in the single digits for most of that time. It’s a real flat spell, so don’t bother digging the board out.
The action finally kicks off on the morning of Saturday the 2nd of August. Clovelly Bombie is where you’ll want to be. We’ve got a clean 6ft swell rolling in from the SE, with a nice long 12-second period. The combined energy hits 914 (strong), and with a light NNW breeze, it’s going to be clean and glassy. This is a proper groundswell, so expect some good shape and power. Keep in mind, though, this is an advanced reef break, and it’s inconsistent, so you’ll need to be patient and know what you’re doing. The water temp is about 64°, which is pretty average for this time of year.
Sunday morning the 3rd of August is another decent window. The swell drops a touch to 3.5ft from the SE, with a 10-second period, and the energy is still a solid 229 (moderate). The wind is light and offshore from the NW, so it’ll be clean again. It’s not the standout, but it’s a good follow-up session.
After that, it fades out again. The rest of the second week is a mix of onshore wind and small, weak swell. The energy drops back under 100, and the wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, making it choppy and messy. There’s nothing else that’s really worth the drive.
So, the pick of the fortnight is clearly the Saturday morning session at Clovelly Bombie. Get it while it’s good.
