The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next two weeks are a bit of a drought. Don’t even bother paddling out for the first ten days – there is nothing. Nada. From the 2nd of September all the way through to the 15th, it’s just small junk and messy conditions. The swell energy is pathetic, usually sitting in the teens or twenties (26 to 79), and what little swell pops up is mostly too weak to do anything. You’ll see the odd bump around Saturday the 5th with a 3 ft north-north-east windswell, but the period is a shocking 5 seconds – that’s just wind slop. The water temp sits at 63°F, bang on average for the time of year, normal.
Then, out of nowhere, the 16th of September (Wednesday) finally wakes up. This is your only real shot. Clovelly Bombie (reef) will see 6 ft of east swell with a period around 8 seconds. The combined swell energy jumps to 427 (moderate) so there’s finally some push. The wind is offshore from the west at 9 mph, which will groom it up. Glassy enough to keep it clean. It’s an advanced wave though – this spot breaks on a reef and is inconsistent, so don’t rock up if you’re a beginner. The swell direction (ENE) matches the optimum for this setup, which is a good sign. Wednesday afternoon stays solid with 5 ft and even stronger offshore from the west-south-west at 16 mph. It’ll be clean and punchy.
Thursday the 17th of September morning still offers 4 ft east-north-east swell (251), with light north-north-west winds – clean but not as strong. The afternoon turns onshore, so catch it early.
That’s it. One stand-out window around the 16th and 17th. Otherwise, you’re waiting. Summer feels a long way off. Keep an eye on the forecasts – they change.
Rusty.

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.
