The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s coming up.

I’ll be honest with you – this stretch doesn’t have much to offer. The only break in the list is Clovelly Bombie, and it’s looking quiet.

We kick off on Sunday, August 30th. There’s a small swell – about 2ft from the southeast, with a 10-second period. Water temp is around 63°, which is a tad cooler than the usual for this time of year. The morning has a light west-northwest breeze blowing offshore, so the surface is clean. But the energy is weak, and honestly, it’s just an average session at best. By the afternoon, the wind goes onshore from the east-southeast, and it gets messy quick.

Monday the 31st is even smaller: 1ft from the south-southeast, with a very long 15-second period. That combo is too drawn out and small to do much. A light north breeze keeps things clean, but there’s nothing to surf.

Tuesday, September 1st, in the afternoon there’s a brief spike to 4ft from the northeast, but it’s a jumbled 5-second swell – weak and disorganised. The wind is cross-off from the northwest, so it’s clean, but still not worth paddling out for.

From Wednesday, September 2nd, all the way through to Monday, September 14th, the story doesn’t improve. Wave heights mostly sit between 0.7ft and 2ft, with occasional offshore wind but no real push behind the swell. Energy levels are tiny – almost always well under 100.

There is a small uptick on Saturday, September 12th, with a 4ft swell from the south-southeast in the morning, building to 5ft in the afternoon. The energy jumps into the moderate range (238 and then 374), but it’s cross-onshore from the southeast, so it’s choppy and crummy. That’s not the kind of window you want for an inconsistent reef break like Clovelly Bombie.

Sunday the 13th has a 4ft SSE swell in the morning with light onshore breeze – still poor.

The rest of the run is nothing but tiny, weak swells with poor conditions. The whole 16-day window is a blank for decent surf. This break rarely fires anyway, so when the stars don’t align, you get a stretch like this.

For those big, windy afternoons, maybe a kite setup would get more out of it, but for a traditional stick, leave the board at home. Forecasts can always change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.

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.
