The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
The first chance for a wave will be on Friday July 17th, but it’s a quiet start. The swell is only 2ft from the east, with a short period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy is a weak 53. It’s glassy though, which is a nice thing for a tough spot like Clovelly Bombie. The water is sittin’ at 62°F, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year – about 2°F cooler than usual, but nothing to scare you off.
Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th are pretty much a write-off. The wind goes cross-on and the swell builds, but it’s messy. Sunday morning actually sees a decent 7ft swell from the ENE with an 11 second period and a combined energy of 895 – that’s moderate wave energy – but the cross-onshore wind kills it. The afternoon is still marginal.
Then Monday the 20th is where it starts to get interesting. The morning glass is clean, with a light offshore from the WNW and 5ft of ENE swell at 10 seconds. The energy is at 460. This is a real chance for a surf. The wind is clean, the swell is solid, but it’s over 5ft so it’s gonna be a bit much for beginners. Still, if you’re advanced, this is the best of the first week. The afternoon turns ugly with a NE wind, so get in early.
Tuesday the 21st morning is also clean, with a bit of cross-off wind and 4ft of ENE swell. Energy is 322. It’s still a good option, but not as good as Monday.
The rest of the week from Wednesday the 22nd onward drops off pretty fast. The swell gets smaller and the windows are narrow. Wednesday morning has a brief offshore with 3ft, but it’s ordinary. Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th are tiny, just 2ft and 2ft. The energy is below 100. There’s a long gap of small, weak surf from mid-week all the way through to the end of July.
We get a tiny pulse on Saturday August 1st in the morning: 3ft from the SSE, period 6 seconds, energy 73. It’s clean, but the swell is short and weak. Not worth getting excited about.
So the standout here is Monday July 20th morning. Clean offshore, 5ft of east-northeast swell, good energy. That’s your best bet. The rest of the forecast is mostly small, windy, or flat. Get it while you can.
Rusty, out.
