The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at Clovelly Bombie over this 16-day stretch.
Honestly, it’s a pretty bleak run for the most part. We’ve got a long gap of flat, poor, or just useless conditions from now right through to the end of July. There’s a tiny blip of energy on Saturday the 1st of August with a 4ft SSE swell, but it’s coming with light cross-onshore wind and only marginal quality, so nothing to get excited about.
The real standout, and I mean the *only* standout, lands on Saturday the 8th of August. Early morning is where it’s at. We’re looking at a solid 8ft swell out of the SSE, and the wind is offshore from the WNW with a gentle breeze – that means clean, groomed faces. The combined energy is strong at (1434), and with a period of 12 seconds, it’s a long-period groundswell that will wrap in nicely. This is an advanced reef break and it’s inconsistent, so don’t expect non-stop action, but when the sets come through, they’ll be proper. It’s only for experienced surfers though – anything over 8ft is expert territory, and with that much power, beginners should sit this one out. Be aware it can get crowded here sometimes.
After that, the swell drops back down quickly, and the second week looks ordinary again with small, messy or blown-out conditions. Sunday the 9th of August morning has a 4ft SSE swell and clean cross-off wind, giving moderate energy (359), but it’s nothing compared to Saturday. The rest of the week fades into weak and choppy surf.
So, mark your calendar for the morning of August 8th. That’s the one to go for. Everything else is a write-off.
