The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's get into it.
It’s a quiet start to the outlook for Clovelly Bombie. We’re looking at a long dry spell before anything really gets going. The first real hope doesn't show up until August 2nd, but even then, it's barely a whisper. The spot is an inconsistent reef break, so we need the stars to align, and for a while there, they just don't.
The water temp is sitting around 63°F, which is about average for this time of year.
For most of the first week, from July 26th right through to the end of July, it’s a frustrating mix of tiny swell and iffy wind. There are a few clean-looking mornings with offshore breezes, like the WSW winds on the 28th and 29th, but with swell heights barely reaching 1 ft, there’s just nothing to ride. That combined swell energy is in the single digits – weaker than weak.
We finally see a pulse arrive on the Friday afternoon of the 31st of July. The swell jumps to 8 ft from the SSE with a 10-second period, and the combined energy is a solid 939 (moderate). The problem is a strong S cross-shore wind that will chop it up. Saturday morning, August 1st, is cleaner with a cross-off wind, but the 6 ft SSE swell (781 energy) comes with a questionable tide forecast for the spot. It’s a step up, but not a green light.
The standout, the one worth circling on the calendar, is Monday morning, August 10th. This is a serious pulse of energy. We’re looking at a 15 ft swell from the SSE with an 11-second period. The combined energy hits 4469 (strong to very strong). That’s a big, powerful groundswell pushing in. The wind is light from the NNW, giving us a cross-off breeze and clean conditions. This one is strictly for the experts – over 8 ft means it's too heavy for anyone but the most experienced. The long period will groom the reef, but the size is intimidating. For the crew who can handle it, this is the session. The afternoon is blown out by a strong onshore NE wind, so it’s an early-bird mission.
The second week is otherwise a letdown. After that Monday the 10th, it drops back to tiny, ordinary surf for the rest of the forecast window.
Rusty.
