Alright, let’s get a look at Clovelly Bombie for the next 16 days. This is a heavy reef break for advanced surfers only, and it’s inconsistent, so don’t get your hopes up for a daily fix. The water’s sitting around 64°F, which is normal for the season, so you’re comfortable in a spring suit.

The week starts off messy. Monday the 6th has a solid 8ft swell from the SSE with a 10-second period, packing a moderate energy punch (1447), but a 30 km/h SSE wind is blowing cross-on, making it lumpy. Not a good time. The afternoon is the same.

Tuesday the 7th morning is where it gets real. The swell jumps to 10ft from the SSE, 10-second period, and the energy is strong (2064). The wind is cross-offshore from the SSW at 30 km/h, which cleans it up perfectly. This is a standout window for experts only – 10ft is too big for anyone who isn’t dialed in. The afternoon sees an even bigger 12ft SE swell (11-second period, 2553 energy), but the wind goes cross-shore, making it lumpy.

Wednesday the 8th morning is another good call. The swell drops to 8ft from the SE, but the cross-offshore wind from the SSW at 30 km/h keeps it clean. The energy is still strong (1740). This is another one for the experienced crew. The afternoon goes bad again.

Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th are all marginal. The swell is dropping, winds are cross-shore, and the energy is dropping into the moderate range. Not worth the paddle.

Saturday the 11th morning has a small 4ft SE swell, 9-second period, and a cross-offshore wind from the NW at 15 km/h. The energy is weak (389), but it’s clean. For a spot that’s this inconsistent, it’s a surfable window, but nothing to write home about.

From Sunday the 12th through to Friday the 17th, it’s a flat spell. The swell disappears, dropping to 0.0ft. A long, blank run of about 6 days. That’s just how it goes here sometimes.

Now, look ahead to Saturday the 18th. This is the real standout. The morning shows a 6ft SSE swell with a 9-second period, and the energy is moderate (592). The wind is a perfect light offshore from the W at 5 km/h, which is glassy. The conditions are expected to be very good. This is the best-looking session in the whole 16 days.

The following week has a few more pulses. Monday the 20th is clean but small with a 2ft SE swell. Tuesday the 21st morning has a 6ft SE swell with a 7-second period and a gentle offshore wind from the WNW, making it clean. The energy is moderate (421). The afternoon is a weird one – a 2ft SSE swell with a crazy-long 19-second period, which is a proper groundswell. At a reef like Bombie, that long period could produce some beautiful, powerful lines, but it’s a very small swell. The 30 km/h offshore wind will keep it clean, but it’s marginal. Don’t count on it.

So, the pick of the lot is Tuesday the 7th morning and Wednesday the 8th morning for the big, clean, expert-only stuff, but the absolute best bet for a clean, fun session will be the morning of Saturday the 18th.

Rusty.

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.

Clovelly Bombie is 3 km (2 miles) from Randwick. If you plan a holiday in Sydney South Coast, look for hotels and other accommodation in Randwick. Randwick has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
