The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin'.
Well, it's gonna be a long, flat wait for any real surf at Clovelly Bombie. The next week or so is a write-off. From Tuesday the 4th to the end of the following weekend, we're looking at tiny, weak, and messy conditions. The swell is barely a ripple, mostly around 0.7ft to 3ft, and the energy is just pathetic – we're talking values as low as 17 to 121 for the combined energy, which is weak to barely moderate. Even when the wind goes offshore or glassy, there's just nothing to work with. The water temperature is about average for this time of year.
Things finally start to change around Friday the 14th. The afternoon sees a sudden jump to a 10ft SSE swell, but the period is a short 8 seconds and the wind is cross-shore, making for a lumpy, messy affair. It's a hint of things to come, but not the day.
The real standout, and the only one worth circling on the calendar, is Sunday morning, the 16th of August. We get a big, solid 15ft groundswell from the SSE with a period of 11 seconds. The energy is massive – 4681, which is very strong – and the wind is a light, clean cross-off from the NW. That's the magic combination for an advanced-only reef like this. It's going to be powerful, well-shaped, and clean. This is for experienced surfers only; 15ft is well into expert territory. The swell direction is a touch east of the optimum ENE, but the quality of the swell and the clean wind more than make up for it. It's an inconsistent break, so the sets will be waiting, but when they come, they'll be worth it. Crowds are possible at a spot like this.
Monday the 17th morning is a solid follow-up with a 8ft SE swell and light cross-off winds, offering more excellent, clean waves for experienced surfers.
So, to sum it up: you've got a long stretch of nothing, then a potentially epic, heavy session on Sunday the 16th. The rest of the second week is a mix of onshore junk and poor quality, so don't get your hopes up for much else.
Rusty.

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.
