The Lowdown
Righto, grab a coffee, 'cause we've got a tale to tell over the next couple of weeks at Clovelly Bombie. It's a reef-break, and a proper one at that – it doesn't fire off every day, so when it does, you need to be ready. For the record, the water is sitting at about 62°F which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so a decent steamer is non-negotiable.
The outlook starts quiet. From now and right through the first week, we are looking at a flat spell. Seriously flat. There's nothing really worth paddling out for from the get-go all the way through to Saturday the 8th of August. There's a tiny blip on the Saturday morning with a 3ft SSE swell, but the wave energy is weak at 138, and it’s just not going to do much on a spot that needs a bit of push.
We then roll through more of the same – small, weak, and uninspiring. There's a bit of a pulse of wind on Monday the 10th, but it's a 3ft ENE swell with a period of just 9 seconds, and the energy is still only 137. Not worth the effort.
The real story, the one you've been waiting for, is Saturday the 15th of August. This is the standout. Overnight, a serious SSE groundswell fills in. We're looking at a solid 12ft swell with a very long period of 12 seconds. The wave energy is through the roof at 3182 – that is a powerful ocean. If you're an experienced surfer, this is your morning. The wind is light, cross-off from the WNW, so the face should be clean and lined up. This is the one. It's a big, serious swell on a reef, so this is for experts only – beginners and intermediates need to stay on the beach for this one.
Sunday the 16th holds some size too, with a 7ft SSE swell in the morning and clean offshore wind from the W. That’s still a big, powerful wave for experts. The energy is still strong at 1070. It’s not the peak of the 15th, but it’s a solid follow-up.
Monday the 17th sees the swell drop back to a more manageable 4ft from the SE, with light winds. That's a nice, clean end to the run for anyone who missed the big stuff.
So, to be blunt: don't bother with your board for the first week. It's a total write-off. The only game in town is the big Saturday the 15th session. That is the one to circle on the calendar. The 16th is also solid, but the 15th is the pick.
Stay safe out there.
