The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s get real about this 16-day stretch. It’s a long, drawn-out battle with small, messy surf, and only a couple of brief clean windows to make it worth your while. A lot of it is flat-out poor.

It starts on Tuesday, August 11th with a tiny, clean wave at Clovelly Bombie. There’s 0.7m of ENE swell with a 10-second period, and a moderate offshore W wind keeps it tidy. The water is 16°, which is a bit colder than usual for this time of year. Wave energy is weak at 81. It’s surfable but very ordinary, and the spot is inconsistent. The morning is the better call, as the afternoon drops off to 0.6m.

Wednesday is more of the same – small, clean, and weak. Thursday is even smaller, a waste of time. Friday morning stays tiny, but the afternoon throws a 0.2m swell with a 19-second period, which is a tease and nothing more. Energy is a weak 66.

Saturday, August 15th changes the game, but not for the better. The afternoon sees the swell jump to 1.7m from the SSE, but with a short 7-second period and a fresh S cross-shore wind, it’s a total chop-fest. Energy jumps to 320, but it’s all poor quality. This is more of a kite-surfing show than a surfing one.

Sunday is poor again, with 1.5m to 1.7m of onshore slop. Energy is moderate (236-288) but wasted. Monday and Tuesday stay poor with onshore ESE winds and junky, short-period swell.

The first flicker of hope is Wednesday morning, August 19th. The swell drops to 0.8m, but the period stretches to 12 seconds from the ESE. Energy is a solid 316. It’s still inconsistent, and the wave comment is “marginal,” but that longer period at a reef is always a bit more interesting. Not a standout yet.

Thursday morning brings more energy (1.5m at 8 seconds) but the cross-on wind ruins it.

Then we get our first true clean window. Friday morning, August 21st. The wind goes glassy, we have 0.8m of E swell at 8 seconds, and energy is a moderate 111. It’s small, but it’s clean. Surfable, but you’ll be hunting for the bigger sets.

The one to circle on the calendar is Sunday morning, August 23rd. Light offshore NW winds, 0.9m of E swell, and an 8-second period. The energy reading is 120, a moderate value, and it’s the cleanest, most promising setup we get. It’s a reef break that’s inconsistent, but if the swell fills in right, it’ll be worth the paddle. This is over a week away, so it’s promising but not guaranteed.

The final Wednesday morning, August 26th has another glassy window with 1.0m of ENE swell at 8 seconds and energy at 170. It’s clean and surfable, your second-best option, but still not big.

So, in short: a long, flat, and mostly messy period. The only mornings I’d genuinely plan around are the 21st and, especially, the 23rd. Everything else is small, short-period, wind-blown chaos. Stay patient and pick your moments.

Rusty, signing off.

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.
