The Lowdown
Alright, let me give you the lowdown on Clovelly Bombie for the next couple of weeks.
First off, it’s a slow start. From Sunday the 6th all the way through the middle of the following week, it’s mostly flat and messy. Don’t bother with your board unless you’re just going for a float. The swell is tiny, the wind is all over the place, and the wave energy is barely a whisper (25–15). It’s one of those stretches that can really test your patience.
The first real sign of life comes on Tuesday morning, the 8th of September. The swell jumps to a solid 8ft from the SSE with a period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy hits a chunky 847. That’s moderate to strong. But here’s the problem – the wind is cross-shore at 16 mph, and the conditions are “moderate cross-shore with a cross-chop.” Not clean at all. For a reef break like this, it’s going to be a fight. 8ft is big, so this one’s for the advanced crew only. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing special.
The standout moment, the one to circle, is Saturday morning, the 19th of September. The morning sees a clean 3ft swell from the SSE, period of 10 seconds, and the wind is offshore from the WNW at 9 mph. That’s glassy, clean, perfect. The combined energy is 301, which is solid moderate. This is your best session. The swell direction is ENE-optimum, and we’re getting SSE, so it’s not a perfect match, but the offshore wind and the reef will clean it up nicely. It’s an inconsistent spot, so don’t expect a wave every minute, but when they come, they’ll be worth it. Crowds are possible – it’s a Saturday and it’s a known spot.
The rest of the forecast is mostly small, weak swells with cross-onshore winds. Monday morning the 14th has a promising 3ft with offshore wind, but the energy is lower (248) and not the same quality as the 19th. The 21st of September has a tiny 3ft with clean offshore wind, but the period is short (5 seconds) and the energy is weak (60). That’s a longboard day.
So, bottom line: if you’re an advanced surfer, the 19th of September is your best bet. Clean, offshore, solid waist-to-chest high waves. The rest of the window is mostly a waiting game. Keep an eye on the forecasts, things can change, but right now, it’s a one-hit wonder on that Saturday morning.
