The Lowdown

Alright, grab a coffee and listen up. It’s a bit of a flat spell for us here, so we’re gonna be looking at a long gap before anything really gets going.

Right now, the swell is tiny and the conditions are just not giving us anything. We’ve got a stretch from now – that’s Thursday the 13th of August – all the way through to the 19th of August, where it’s basically a write-off. The energy is weak, with values barely scratching the surface, and the wind is mostly cross or onshore, making a mess of things. It’s a proper blank run for paddle surfing.

The first real glimmer of something surfable comes on the morning of Thursday the 20th of August. That’s when Clovelly Bombie (reef) might just offer a tiny window. We’re looking at a 4ft swell, but it’s a short period of 7 seconds from the ESE, so it’s not going to have much grunt. The energy is moderate, but the real kicker is the wind. It’s going to be a light, cross-offshore breeze from the NNW, which will keep the surface clean. The water is a bit colder than average for the time of year at 61°F, so don’t forget your booties. This spot is an advanced, inconsistent reef, so it’s not for the faint-hearted, and it can get crowded.

We then go through another quiet patch. The morning of Friday the 21st of August has a tiny 2ft clean wave, but it’s small. The next real highlight is the morning of Sunday the 23rd of August. The swell drops to 3ft from the ENE with a 9-second period, showing moderate energy. But the wind is set to be a solid offshore from the W at 15 mph, cleaning it right up. That’s a beautiful setup for a reef like this. The afternoon stays strong with a 19 mph offshore, but the swell is still small.

The best of the lot, the standout, has to be the morning of Monday the 24th of August. It’s glassy, with a gentle offshore breeze from the W at 9 mph. The swell is 3ft from the ENE with a 10-second period, offering moderate energy. The conditions are surfable but very ordinary – but with that offshore wind on a clean reef, it’ll be fun for the advanced crew. Again, it’s an inconsistent spot, so it doesn’t break often, and when it does, it’s a bit of a local gem.

The outlook fades out after that. The 25th and 26th of August have some clean, offshore wind but the swell is tiny, and by the 27th and 28th, the wind is howling onshore at 25 to 31 mph, with zero swell. It’s a waiting game, but that Monday morning the 24th looks like the one to circle on the calendar. It’s a promising call, but it’s a week away, so don’t hold your breath just yet.

Information about the Clovelly Bombie Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Clovelly Bombie provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Clovelly Bombie can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Clovelly Bombie surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Clovelly Bombie) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
