The Lowdown

Right, mate, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Clovelly Bombie. This is a heavy reef slab for advanced crew only, and it’s inconsistent, so we need to pick our moments.

The next week and a half is a bit of a mixed bag, but there’s some real gold hidden in there if you’re patient. The first real action kicks off Monday morning, the 20th of July. We’ve got a clean 6ft swell humming in from the ENE with an 11-second period. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the WNW, which should keep the surface clean. The combined wave energy is sitting at a solid moderate 665. This is your best bet for the early part of the outlook. The water temp is 62°, which is about normal for this time of year.

The excitement fades a bit after Monday afternoon as the swell drops. Tuesday morning the 21st still has a clean 4ft ENE swell with a light cross-off wind, but it’s a lot smaller. Then we go into a long flat spell. From Wednesday morning the 22nd right through to the end of July, the surf is tiny or non-existent. The wind is often offshore, but there’s no energy to work with. The combined energy drops to as low as 3, so it’s basically a lake out there. This is a big gap of nearly a week with nothing worth paddling for.

Now, hold on, because Tuesday the 28th of July is where it gets interesting. That morning, we see a new groundswell filling in from the SSE with a 17-second period, pushing 4ft. The combined energy jumps back up to 804 (moderate), and the wind is a gentle offshore from the W. This is a standout. A long-period groundswell like this, with that period over 15 seconds, will wrap in beautifully on a reef like Bombie. The low tide and that offshore breeze should make for some seriously clean, lined-up waves. It’s not massive, but it’s very promising.

That Tuesday afternoon, the swell jumps to a massive 12ft from the SSE with a 16-second period. The combined energy hits a whopping 5738 (very strong wave energy). This is for experts only. At that size, it’s a heavy, dangerous wave. The wind is light and onshore, which could make it a bit messy, but the sheer power will be something to see. The following Wednesday morning, the 29th, it’s still a solid 8ft on a 13-second period, with a clean cross-offshore wind. The energy is strong at 1713, but it’s still a big, challenging wave.

The surf then slowly fades through the end of the month. Friday the 31st of July has a clean 5ft SSE swell in the morning, but it’s nothing compared to that Tuesday peak. The first couple of days of August get blown out by strong offshore winds, making it hard to paddle into, even if the waves are there.

The Standout: If you’ve got the skills, the window from Tuesday morning, 28th July, through to Wednesday morning, 29th July, is the clear winner. The Tuesday morning session with that long-period groundswell and clean offshore wind is the pick of the entire forecast. Just remember, this is an advanced spot, and it’s inconsistent, so when it’s on, you’ve got to go.

Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Clovelly Bombie can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
