The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. Looking at Clovelly Bombie for the next couple of weeks, and honestly, it’s a slow burner. There’s a lot of flat or chopped-up days, but there is one real window that has my attention.
Right now, Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th are no good. Swell is small, around 0.7m and 0.6m, with a short 6-7 second period. The wind is cross or cross-on, so it’s messy. The energy is weak, around 48-65. Not worth your time.
It gets worse. Wednesday the 16th and Thursday the 17th see the swell die right down to 0.2m and 0.1m. While there are some clean patches, there’s literally nothing to ride. Energy is practically zero, down to 3.
But then, Friday morning, the 18th of September, is the pick of the entire forecast. We get a jump to 1.5m from the SSE at a 9-second period. The combined energy is 318, which is moderate and has some push. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the NNW at 5 km/h, which means clean lines. This is the standout. It’s not giant, but for this spot, that’s a solid, rippable morning. The afternoon turns cross-on again, so get it early.
After that, it’s mostly small, weak swells through the 19th and 20th. There’s a long-period groundswell at 17 seconds but only 0.4m. It’s flat and fat. The rest of the week into the 28th is more of the same – small, short-period waves with cross-on winds and choppy conditions.
We do see a spike to 1.9m on the afternoon of Monday the 28th, but with a 7-second period and cross-on wind, it’ll be a mess. Not a clean day.
There’s also a couple of pulses around the 24th and 26th with 1.2m and 1.4m, but it’s either raining hard or hitting 45 km/h winds, so it’s not a surfer’s window.
So, the whole forecast boils down to one morning: Friday the 18th. Clovelly Bombie is an inconsistent spot anyway, so when it gets a clean 1.5m with that light offshore, it’s a rare treat. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing out of the ordinary.
For the rest, if the wind and swell are up, it might be more interesting for the kites. Surf-wise, keep your board in the car.
