Table - best surf conditions forecast for Clovelly Bombie over the next 16 days.
Alright, folks, Rusty here with the lowdown. We’re looking at a single spot for the next sixteen days, and it’s a wild one.
The main event is Clovelly Bombie (reef). This is an advanced break that doesn’t fire often—it’s inconsistent and demands respect. Water temp is about 63°F, right where it should be for mid-winter.
The action kicks off Wednesday the 8th with a solid 8ft swell out of the SE, packing serious grunt—the combined energy reading is 1669, which is massive. But the wind is screaming at 15 mph from the south, giving a cross-off that will keep things messy. Only for the real experts. By afternoon it goes to a cross-shore and gets chopped.
Thursday the 9th drops to 6ft in the morning with a light 6 mph south wind staying cross. It’s cleaner but still just marginal.
Friday the 10th morning is the pick of the bunch. Swell sits at 5ft from the SE at 9 seconds, with a gentle 9 mph SSW cross-off. The report says “expect good surf conditions” and the energy is 449. For Bombie, that’s a window where the reef might just line up proper. Get on it early. The afternoon turns into a mess with onshore winds.
Saturday the 11th morning is small—4ft—but clean. Fun for the regulars but no standout.
From Sunday the 12th all the way to Saturday the 19th of July, it goes dead flat. Many days show zero combined swell energy. That’s over a week of nothing at all at this break.
There’s a tiny ripple on the 19th of July morning: a 1ft groundswell from the SE with a long 12-second period, but the energy is only 53. Under a light offshore breeze from the WNW, it could be glassy, but the swell is too weak to really work the reef.
The real standout here is Friday morning, July 10th. That’s the one clean shot at some size and shape before the taps turn off for more than a week. Beginners should never touch this wave—when it’s over 8ft on Wednesday, it’s strictly for the experts.
It’s a lean forecast with one very narrow window to score.
Rusty.
