The Lowdown

Alright, let's get into it. Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – it's a bleak run for Clovelly Bombie across this whole 16-day window. We're looking at a proper dry spell for a wave that needs everything to line up just right.

The first sniff of anything rideable doesn't show up until Tuesday the 11th of August, and even then it's a struggle. We've got a clean little 2ft swell from the ENE pushing through on the Tuesday morning, with a 10-second period and a nice offshore WSW wind. The combined energy is weak at just 81, so it's not got much push, but the offshore breeze will have it looking glassy on the sets that come through. Honestly, it's just about the only time in the whole outlook where the wind and swell line up properly for this spot. Tuesday afternoon stays clean but drops to 2ft with 71 energy. It's surfable, but you'll be scratching for waves.

After that, the rest of the first week and into the second is a write-off. Tiny 1ft to 2ft lumps with weak energy, and the winds start going cross or cross-on. By Saturday the 15th of August, we get a jump in size to 6ft from the SSE on the morning, but it comes with a short, messy 7-second period and a strong crosswind. The energy ticks up to 310 (moderate), but it's poor conditions – choppy and raw. That trend continues right through to Monday the 17th of August, where the swell builds to 7ft from the SE, with a moderate 519 energy reading. But the wind is cross-onshore and the period is still short at 8 seconds, making for a lumpy, blown-out mess. This is more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle-surfing one, to be honest.

The second week stays locked in a similar pattern: size bounces between 4ft and 8ft, mostly from the SSE or ESE, but the winds stay onshore or cross-shore and the period stays short. Energy gets strong at times – hitting 819 on the 25th of August for a 8ft SSE swell – but the wind is a fresh cross-shore, so quality goes out the window.

The only other standout is way out at the end – Tuesday the 25th of August morning, and Wednesday the 26th of August morning. On the 25th morning we get 7ft from the SSE with a clean offshore wind and moderate energy at 624 – that's marginal. Wednesday the 26th morning looks slightly better: 8ft from the SE with a cross-offshore NNW breeze, 769 moderate energy, and clean conditions. But this swell is well over 7ft, so it's expert territory only, and the crowd profile says it's "sometimes" busy – so expect a few locals out if it cleans up. That Wednesday is the only real hope in the whole 16-day run, and it's still a gamble this far out.

Bottom line: Clovelly Bombie is rare and inconsistent, and this forecast proves it. If you really need a wave, Tuesday morning this week is your best bet for a clean, small session. Otherwise, keep an eye on that Wednesday the 26th, but don't hold your breath.

Rusty.
