The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Clovelly Bombie. It’s a reef setup that only works for the advanced crew, and only when it’s on. This outlook is a bit of a waiting game, but there’s a light at the end of the tunnel.
Right now, and for the next week and a half, it’s pretty grim. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing doing. The swell is small and messy, and the wind is mostly cross-onshore or cross-off, but the energy is just pathetic. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so nothing unusual there.
The action starts to get interesting on the morning of Friday the 21st of August. We’ll see a clean 4ft swell from the ENE with a period of 8 seconds and moderate wave energy (223). The wind is slight air, almost glassy, so it’ll be clean. That’s the first standout.
The real standout, though, is the morning of Saturday the 22nd of August. The swell drops a touch to 5ft from the ENE, but the period stretches to 9 seconds, giving it better shape and more energy (304). The wind is very light, almost glassy, so it’ll be proper clean. The swell direction is right on the money for this spot. This is the best on offer—a small window of quality, but it’s worth waiting for. After that, the wind turns onshore again and ruins the afternoon.
The morning of Tuesday the 25th of August also looks promising: 4ft from the ENE with a 9-second period, and light offshore winds (NW) keeping it clean. The energy is moderate (211). Another solid option late in the run.
Remember, Clovelly Bombie is inconsistent and rarely breaks, so when it does, it’s a special treat. The morning windows on the 21st, 22nd, and 25th of August are your best bets. Be ready to go.
