The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Clovelly Bombie over the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a real mixed bag, but the standout window is right at the start and again much later on.
The first real action worth paddling out for kicks off on the morning of Monday the 7th. The Bombie’s got some clean 4ft SSE swell rolling in, with a cross-off breeze out of the NW at just 3 mph. That’s about as clean as it gets for this exposed reef set-up. The combined energy sits at 258 (moderate), and with that short period of 8 seconds, the waves will be a bit weaker and more jumbled than a proper groundswell – but still fun if you’re on the ball. This is an advanced, inconsistent spot that rarely lines up, so if you’re keen, grab it. It’s the best on offer in this whole stretch.
From Monday afternoon onwards, things go downhill quickly. The wind swings onshore, the swell jumps up but gets sloppy, and the scores drop right off. Tuesday the 8th has an 8ft SSE swell in the morning, but with a 16 mph cross-shore wind and a combined energy of 953 (strong), that’s expert territory – and with those conditions, it’ll be messy and tough. Wednesday the 9th brings a 4ft swell but again with strong cross-off winds, and by afternoon it’s a full gale at 31 mph, just a write-off.
From Thursday the 10th right through to Saturday the 21st of September, it’s mostly tiny, weak, or onshore slop. There’s a brief flicker on Saturday the 12th morning – 6ft SSE swell, 726 energy (strong), light cross-off wind – that’s the kind of setup that could turn on if you’re lucky, but it’s only a decent score and the break is inconsistent. Worth checking if you’re dedicated, but not a certainty.
After a long stretch of nothing, the second week shows some life on Sunday the 20th. The afternoon brings a clean 5ft SSE swell with a nice offshore breeze out of the WSW at 12 mph, combined energy at 385 (moderate), period 9 seconds. That’s a solid offering for the Bombie, clean and lined up. It’s still an inconsistent reef break, so don’t expect it to be pumping every set, but when it works, it works.
The following Monday morning, the 21st, the wind swings southerly at 19 mph and it all falls apart again. So bottom line: if you want the best shot, you’ve got Monday the 7th morning, and then maybe Sunday the 20th afternoon for a second chance. The rest is mostly flat, windy, or a write-off.
As for the water, it’s about average for this time of year – nothing unusual there.
Stay sharp, keep an eye on the forecasts, and don’t sleep on that Monday morning window.
Rusty.

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.
