The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – we’ve got a grim stretch ahead for Clovelly Bombie. The next week and a half is basically a write-off for any sort of decent paddle. There’s so little energy and junk wind that you’ll be better off finding something else to do. The water is sitting at 62°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you’ll want a good thick steamer if you even bother.
The first real chance, and I’m using that word loosely, doesn’t show up until Thursday morning, 20 August. That morning we’ve got a little pulse of 1ft swell from the SE with a long period of 13 seconds, and combined energy of 72 (weak). That’s a long-period groundswell, which for a reef like Clovelly Bombie can actually shape up alright, but it’s small. The wind is very light offshore from the WNW, which will keep it clean. It’s surfable, but only just, and it’s rated as “very ordinary conditions.” For a break that’s already inconsistent and only for advanced surfers, this is a pretty meagre offering. The swell direction from the SE is a cross-up from the optimum ENE direction, so it won’t be firing. Still, it’s the only morning that’s even close to being worth a look in the entire 16-day window.
After that morning, it drops back to nothing. Thursday afternoon gets chopped up by a cross-onshore breeze, and the rest of the run into 21 August is dead flat or blown out. There’s no other highlight. The combined energy values are mostly in the single digits or low double digits, which is pathetic. The wind is strong and offshore for a lot of days, but with no swell to push through, it’s just a waste of a good breeze.
Honestly, mark it down. If you’re desperate, check Clovelly Bombie on the morning of 20 August, but don’t expect much. The rest of the outlook is a blank run, and for this area, that’s not unusual – it just tends to stay quiet until the next proper system rolls in. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, this is a tough one.
Rusty.
