The Lowdown
Alright, mate, let me tell you how it's looking. It's been a dead spell here at Clovelly Bombie (reef) to kick things off. From Tuesday the 25th right through to Sunday the 30th, it’s a total bust. Tiny, weak waves and crummy, onshore winds. The energy readings are pitiful—down in the dumps. You'd be wasting your time.
The first real chance you've got is Friday morning the 28th of August. That's the one. A clean 5ft SSE groundswell shows up with a nice 11-second period. The combined energy hits 610 (moderate). A light WSW cross-offshore breeze is on it, keeping things glassy. That morning is your standout—don't miss it.
The good vibes keep rolling into Saturday morning the 29th of August. Another clean session: a 6ft SSE swell, still with a solid 10-second period, and energy at 638 (moderate). A light SSW cross-off shore keeps it looking sharp. It's a touch bigger but still in that sweet spot. Two mornings in a row of real quality. The water is around 62°, which is just a hair below the norm for this time of year.
Then the weekend afternoon chop shows up, and we slide back into a long, flat, ordinary stretch. There are tiny blips after that, but nothing to get excited about. On the 7th of September there's a clean offshore window, but the swell is small and the wind is screaming at 25 mph—that's kite territory, not surfing. The 8th gives a weird 6ft swell with a super short 5-second period and a strong offshore, but it's messy. The 9th has some size again, but the conditions aren't there.
So, mark your calendar: the standouts are Friday morning the 28th and Saturday morning the 29th of August. Everything else is a slog or a flat-out skip.

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

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.
