The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, this is a tough stretch. We’re looking at a whole lot of flat, small, or just plain messy conditions, with the first real glimmer of hope not showing up until Monday the 16th of August. The first week and a half are pretty much a write-off for anything decent, so don't hold your breath.
The only spot worth talking about is Clovelly Bombie. Being an inconsistent reef setup, it's not a place that's pumping all the time, and it's strictly for the advanced crew. The water temperature is sitting at 62°F, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you'll want a thicker suit.
There's a bit of a tease on Monday the 3rd of August - a clean 3ft swell from the SE with period at 11 seconds, and the wind is a cross-off. The wave energy is moderate (232), but the forecast score tells me it's only a "good" session, not a standout. After that, it's a long, dry gap. From Tuesday the 4th all the way through to Saturday the 15th, the surf is tiny, windy, and just not worth the paddle. There are a few days with offshore winds, but the swell is pathetic, barely hitting 1ft. It's a solid 12-day stretch of nothing.
Finally, things get interesting on Sunday the 16th of August. The morning brings a cleaner picture: a 4ft swell from the SSE, period 9 seconds, with a light cross-off breeze from the WSW. The combined energy is moderate (221), and the conditions are described as clean. This is the first session that has any real promise. The wind will be light, keeping the surface clean, but watch the tide as it might be a factor.
Monday the 17th of August morning also has some potential. A 5ft SE swell with a 10-second period, combined energy jumps to 408 (strong wave energy), and the wind is a light cross-shore from the S. It's a bit more on the raw side, but for the advanced crew at Bombie, this could be the best of the lot. The 5ft is starting to get a bit chunky, but it's manageable for the experienced.
The standout is the morning of Sunday the 16th of August. It’s not a massive swell, but the clean conditions and light wind at Clovelly Bombie make it the best call for a solid paddle. The Monday the 17th morning is a close second, with more power but a little more wind on it.
The rest of the outlook? A whole lot of small, choppy, and blown-out days. Don't even bother with the kites, the swell is too small for that too.
Rusty.
