Righto, grab a coffee and settle in. For the next 16 days, it's a tale of a solid start followed by a long, frustrating flat spell. The main show kicks off early, but you've gotta nail the timing.
The pick of the whole outlook is Clovelly Bombie (reef). We've got a decent pulse of SE groundswell arriving for July 8th that will ease off through the 11th, but don't get too excited—conditions are a bit of a mixed bag with that S wind mucking things up early on. The standout window is narrow. Thursday morning the 9th is your best bet: a clean 6ft of SE swell with a period of 10 seconds, a gentle S breeze keeping it cross-shore, and all that wave energy sitting at 826—solid but not crazy. It'll be a bit chunky for beginners at that size, but for the rest of you, the reef will shape it up nicely with that 10-second period offering proper lines. Keep in mind, this spot is *inconsistent* and for *advanced* surfers only, so if the wave gods smile, it'll be a quiet crew out there.
The forecast really falls off a cliff after that. From July 12th onward, the Bombie basically goes into hibernation. The 12th and 13th have offshore winds but the swell is tiny—we're talking 2ft to 0.7ft, with wave energy dropping below 100. That's basically a lake. From July 15th through the 20th it gets even worse, with days of zero swell energy (0!) and strong, howling S/SSE winds making it completely unsurfable. There's a solid 9-10 day stretch there where you can leave the boards at home.
You get a teeny tiny flicker of life on the 21st and 22nd of July, with a weak 3ft NE swell and period around 5-6 seconds, but the energy is laughably low (the 47-95 range) and the directions are all wrong. A light WSW offshore on the 22nd morning might make it clean, but honestly, you'd be fighting for dribbles. The long stretch of no-good options is pretty normal for this area when the swell window shuts down. Stick to the morning of the 9th of July and you'll be happy. After that, grab a beer and wait for the charts to change.

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.
