The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s cut to it—this stretch is looking flat-out bleak for a surf. The first week is a total dud. Tiny, weak swell and wind messing up everything. The second week shows a little life, but it’s still nothing special. Don’t get too excited.
The only spot in the mix is Clovelly Bombie (Clovelly). It’s a reef break that’s inconsistent, so it needs a real swell to even fire. The water’s at 62°F, which is a bit colder than usual for this time of year—bring the thick suit.
Right now, Saturday the 8th, there’s knee-high slop at 0.4m (about 1ft) with a gentle ENE breeze, but the energy is weak (57) and the conditions are poor. Skip it. Sunday and Monday see a slight bump—up to 0.9m (3ft) and 1.9m (6ft)—but the wind swings cross and cross-off, and while the energy jumps to 548 on Monday morning, the call is still poor. That’s a lot of power for nothing.
Tuesday the 11th is the first clean window: 0.7m (2ft) swell with a moderate offshore wind. Energy is still weak (75), but it’s at least surfable. Still, it’s very ordinary. The rest of the week dies off to nothing—0.2m to 0.4m (0.7ft to 1ft)—with wind all over the place. There’s a long dry spell from the 12th through the 18th where there’s basically nothing to paddle for.
The tide turns on Saturday the 22nd. The morning shows a 1.0m (3ft) ENE swell with light winds and clean conditions, and the energy is building to 215. That’s more like it. Then Sunday the 23rd morning is the standout of the whole window: 1.3m (4ft) of ENE swell, 11-second period, light offshore wind, and energy up at 433. That’s the best on offer—clean, glassy, proper reef waves. The afternoon gets messy as the wind swings onshore, so make the most of the morning.
Beginners, stay out of the water. Anything over 1.5m (5ft) is pushing it, but the 1.3m (4ft) should be fine for the advanced crew. The long period and reef setup mean it’ll hold shape, but the inconsistent nature of the break means you’ll be sitting around for sets.
For the flat, windy days in the middle—especially when it’s 1.9m (6ft) and cross-off with a strong breeze—this setup looks way more fun for a kite than a paddle. Save your energy for the 23rd—that’s your window.
Rusty.

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.

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.
