The Lowdown
Righto, let’s have a look at what’s on offer. The standout window here is pretty narrow. For the next week and a bit, it’s mostly a write-off with rubbish conditions, but there’s a couple of moments that could be special if you time it right.
The first real glimmer of hope is Saturday the 12th of September. Early morning, Clovelly Bombie (reef) is showing a clean 4ft of swell from the SSE, with a period of 12 seconds. That’s a nice groundswell. The real kicker is the wind – glassy, absolute perfection. The water temp is sitting around 64°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year. The combined energy is moderate (478). This is the pick of the entire forecast. It’s an inconsistent break, so you’ll be waiting for sets, but when they come, they’ll be clean and lined up. It’s a reef break, so it’s for advanced surfers only. If you’re not on it, you’ll be kicking yourself.
After that, it goes quiet again. There’s nothing worth paddling out for until Saturday the 19th of September. That morning, a big 10ft swell from the SSE rolls in, with a period of 11 seconds. The combined energy is massive (1788). But the wind is cross-shore, and the forecast calls it marginal. That’s a lot of water moving around, and it’s not going to be pretty. The afternoon drops to 8ft, still very big. This is expert-only territory, and even then, the conditions are questionable. Not the day to be learning.
Sunday the 20th of September morning sees a 6ft SSE swell, still solid, but the wind is cross-shore again. The energy is strong (532). It’s still marginal. The following week picks up a bit. Wednesday the 23rd of September morning has a 3ft SSE swell with a period of 10 seconds, light cross-shore wind, and moderate energy (258). Still considered marginal. Thursday the 24th of September morning is similar, with 3ft from the ESE, period of 11 seconds, and light cross-onshore wind. The energy is moderate (290). The quality is still not great.
Honestly, the only day you’d be frothing for is that Saturday the 12th of September morning. Glassy, clean, and a solid groundswell. Everything else is a gamble or a mess. The rest of the time, the wind is either onshore, cross-shore, or just too strong, and the wave quality is poor. If you’re a beginner, don’t even think about it – the swell gets over 5ft in the second week, and the big day on the 19th is over 8ft, which is only for experts.
