Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer over the next couple of weeks.
Clovelly Bombie (reef) is our only option, and it’s a tricky one. This spot is inconsistent, so when it turns on, it’s special – but you’ve gotta be patient and be an advanced surfer. The swell direction (ENE) is the magic number for this place, coming in from the east-northeast.
The outlook starts a bit rough. Monday the 6th of July has solid 8ft swell from the SSE, but a fresh 19 mph cross-wind from the southeast is making a lumpy mess. It’s not worth paddling out. That sets the tone for the first couple of days – big numbers on paper but messy.
Tuesday the 7th of July brings a jump in energy, with the combined swell energy hitting a strong 2126 and waves up to 10ft from the SSE. The morning has a clean look with a cross-offshore breeze from the SSW (19 mph). That’s a big, grunty wave – definitely only for experts. The afternoon goes lumpy again. Keep your focus on that Tuesday morning.
Wednesday the 8th of July is the pick of the first week. Morning clean, 8ft from the SE, combined energy 1599 (strong) and winds from the SSW at 12 mph giving a cross-offshore groom. It’s still big and powerful, but the conditions are cleaner.
Thursday the 9th drops to 6ft, but the wind swings cross and the chop builds. Things get smaller and messier from there.
Friday the 10th of July looks interesting. The morning has 5ft from the SE with a light 6 mph cross-offshore breeze and clean conditions. Energy is moderate at 446, making for a more manageable and fun-sized Bombie. That’s the most surfable day for the average experienced surfer. The afternoon turns onshore and choppy.
After Friday, surf drops away fast. Saturday the 11th has a tiny 4ft wave, and from Sunday the 12th through to Monday the 20th of July, it’s almost flat – waves under 2ft. A long, quiet gap with no real recommendations.
There’s a flicker of life on Thursday the 16th of July. Late afternoon sees 10ft from the SSE, energy 1608 (strong), and a clean cross-off wind from the SSW at 22 mph. That’s a raw, heavy swell direction for Bombie, but if the tide lines up, it could be a late-day charger.
The standout in the second week? Saturday the 18th of July. Morning shows 7ft from the SE with a gentle 9 mph offshore wind from the WNW – glassy, clean conditions. Combined energy is moderate-strong at 949. That’s a prime Bombie session on offer. The afternoon turns onshore and trash. It’s still over a week away, so keep an eye on that one, but it’s the best promise of the run.
All in all, the consistent window is tight – Wednesday the 8th, Friday the 10th, and that far-off Saturday the 18th are your best bets. For the rest, you’re waiting on the wind to behave.
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.
