Alright, let’s break this down in feet and degrees.

Right now, we’re looking at a long dry spell. The first couple of days – Sunday the 5th – we’ve got tiny 0.7ft swell from the east with a cross-off breeze, but combined wave energy is only 9, so it’s basically nothing. Monday and Tuesday bring some size but the wind’s a mess – cross-shore and strong, so don’t bother paddling out.

Midweek, Wednesday the 8th and Thursday the 9th have swell around 7ft to 8ft from the SSE/SE, but the wind is cross or cross-off with moderate to fresh breeze. Combined energy is moderate, but the quality’s only marginal. Not the kind of session you’ll tell your mates about.

We get a small window on Friday the 10th and Saturday the 11th mornings. Swell drops to about 4ft to 5ft from the SE, with light cross-off winds and clean conditions. Combined energy is between 262 and 487 – still weakish. It’s surfable, but nothing special. Saturday afternoon turns choppy again, and by Sunday the 12th it’s down to 2ft.

Then it goes dead. From Sunday the 12th all the way through Wednesday the 16th, we’re looking at 0.7ft or less – flat, basically. Combined energy is below 31. Fresh offshore winds keep the surface smooth, but there’s no wave to ride.

Now, here’s the big one. Friday the 17th of July brings a proper pulse. Swell jumps to 15ft to 16ft from the SSE, with a 12-second period – that’s a real groundswell. Combined energy hits 6075 to 7772 – very strong. The morning has a gentle cross-off breeze, and the forecast says exceptional for experts. This is a serious, powerful swell – over 8ft, so experts only. The swell direction matches the optimum ENE well enough for this bombie. This is the standout. Saturday the 18th still has 10ft to 12ft from the SE with offshore wind and cleaner conditions, but energy drops to 2183 to 3588. Still solid, but Friday is the peak.

Sunday the 19th morning will have a decent leftover at around 6ft from the SE with light winds, but it fades by afternoon.

Crowds? Clovelly Bombie is an advanced, inconsistent reef. When it fires, it’ll draw the crew who know. Expect a crowd if the conditions line up.

Water temp is about 64°F, which is average for this time of year – nothing unusual.

So, plain and simple: the first two weeks are mostly flat or messy, with a few small windows. The real standout is Friday the 17th of July – big, clean, powerful groundswell for experts only.

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.

Clovelly Bombie is 3 km (2 miles) from Randwick. If you plan a holiday in Sydney South Coast, look for hotels and other accommodation in Randwick. Randwick has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
