The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. I’ve been staring at the numbers for Clovelly Bombie (reef), and it’s a rough 16 days, no two ways about it. There’s nothing worth paddling out for.
The water is 62°F, which is a bit cooler than it should be for August, so you’ll want a wetsuit.
It kicks off on Friday, August 7th, with a tiny 2ft SSE swell and a cross-onshore breeze. The energy is weak (75), and it’s just poor. Saturday the 8th is clean in the morning with a light offshore, but the swell is only 1ft and the energy is pitiful (47).
Sunday the 9th has a little more energy at 162, with a 3ft ENE swell, but it’s still tagged as poor. The wind is cross-off, so it’s clean, but the quality is rubbish.
Monday the 10th is the biggest set of the whole run, with 6ft from the ENE and a solid 480 in energy. The wind is clean and cross-off. For a reef, that’s a decent amount of water, but the forecast still says “poor surf conditions.” It might be too much for a spot that’s inconsistent and expert-only. The period is only 9 seconds, so it’s not a proper groundswell.
After that, it’s a long drop-off. Tuesday the 11th is the only day that gets a “surfable” rating of 1/10, with a tiny 2ft and clean wind, but it’s really ordinary. The rest of the first week is flat or choppy, with energy dropping to single digits.
The second week is no better. There’s a pulse around Tuesday the 18th, with 4ft from the SSE and 319 energy, but it’s lumpy with rain and cross-shore wind. Thursday the 20th has a 4ft swell with a longer 13-second period, giving 449 energy, but the wind is cross-on and choppy.
It’s a total write-off for a paddle. With the wind and swell direction, this looks more like a kite-surfing setup than a surfing one. The Bombie is a rare and tricky spot, and it’s staying quiet for the whole forecast. That’s just how it goes sometimes.
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.
