The Lowdown
Righto, let’s have a look at what’s coming up over the next sixteen days. To be honest, it’s a pretty quiet run for the most part. We’ve only got one spot that’s worth talking about, and even then, it’s a fickle one that needs the stars to line up.
The only break on the cards is Clovelly Bombie. It’s an advanced reef setup, which is good, but it’s inconsistent and can be a bit of a tease. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing wild there.
The first week is pretty much a write-off. We’re looking at tiny swell, messy winds, and a lot of “poor surf conditions.” There’s a little bump of energy on the 5th of September – a 4ft swell, moderate wave energy (118), but the period is short (6 seconds) and the direction is NNE, not its optimum ENE. Not worth getting excited about. The 7th of September sees a bit more size, 5ft, and some energy (315), but again, short period and cross-off wind. It’s clean, but the wave quality won’t be there.
Then there’s a big gap of nothing much until we get to something that finally looks the part.
The real standout, and the only one I’d recommend, is the Thursday morning (10th of September). The wind goes glassy – absolute magic – and we get a 4ft SSE swell with a long period of 9 seconds, pumping in with solid wave energy (251). That’s the best conditions on offer by a long shot. The swell direction (SSE) is a bit off its optimum (ENE), but that glassy wind and clean face will make it worthwhile. It won’t be huge, but the quality will be there. It’s an advanced break, so you’ll need your wits about you, but it’s your best chance for a real wave.
For the rest of the period, Monday the 14th and Wednesday the 16th of September show some 3ft and 3ft SSE swell with offshore winds, but the energy is lower, and the winds are strong, making paddling a chore. Not a priority.
So, in short: don’t bother for the first week. Keep your eyes on that Thursday 10th morning for a clean, glassy window at Clovelly Bombie. After that, things go quiet again. It’s a long wait for a short window, but that’s the nature of an inconsistent slab.

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.
