The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you – for the next 16 days, we’re looking at a pretty quiet run at Clovelly Bombie. The first week or so is basically a write-off, with tiny, weak swell and just enough wind to mess with what little there is. But if you’ve got patience, there’s a proper surprise hiding way out there.
The first real sniff of anything worthwhile doesn’t arrive until Tuesday, September 8th, and even then it’s marginal. You’re looking at a 6ft swell from the NE, but with a short period of only 7 seconds, it’s not got much push. The combined energy is moderate at 560 and it’s a beach-and-reef setup, so with that cross-onshore wind through the afternoon, it might actually be more interesting for kite surfing than a paddle. Not the kind of day I’d race down for.
Then we hit a flat spell from September 9th through the 10th, with strong southerly winds and zero energy. A complete blank. The wait turns into something special though.
The stand out – and I mean the true standout – is Friday, September 11th, in the morning. This is the one you circle on the calendar. A solid 13ft groundswell from the SSE, with a period of 12 seconds (long period, so this reef break will handle it well). The combined energy is a massive 5259 – that’s very strong energy. The wind is light from the SSW, cross-offshore, keeping it clean. This is an expert-only, big-wave session. Beginners, stay well clear; over 8ft means this is for the crew who know what they’re doing. The water temp is 63°, which is about 1° below average for this time of year – nothing unusual, just a touch cool.
After that pulse, things settle quickly. Saturday the 12th has a 6ft swell in the morning from the SSE with a light cross-off breeze, clean but nothing special. Sunday the 13th offers a similar 4ft SE swell with light wind, and Monday the 14th has a glassy morning with a 4ft ESE swell – that’s a beautiful calm start to the day, but the energy is only moderate at 320. The second week falls away into small, weaker swells with onshore winds, not worth planning around.
So, the call is simple: ignore the first ten days, wait for that massive Friday morning on September 11th. That’s your moment. Everything else is filler.
Rusty.
