Table - best surf conditions forecast for Clovelly Bombie over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.
First few days, Clovelly Bombie (reef break) is flat as a pancake. July 12th gives you a tiny 0.5m from the ESE, 10-second period, combined energy of just 62 – weak. Water temp is 18°, pretty average for the season. Nothing worth paddling out for until the second week.
Things start to build around July 16th. Thursday morning jumps to 2.3m from the SSE, short period of 7 seconds, energy of 560 – moderate. But the wind is cross-onshore and choppy, so it’s messy. Friday sees 1.7m with cross-onshore wind, energy around 442. Not clean.
The real juice comes in the weekend of the 18th and 19th. Saturday the 18th has 2.2m from the ESE, 9 seconds, energy of 744, and by the afternoon it’s 2.5m from the E, 10 seconds, energy hitting 1468 – strong. Sunday the 19th is the biggest: 3.0m from the E, 11 seconds, energy of 2455. That’s a powerful groundswell, but the wind is cross-on, making it lumpy. Over 2.5m, this is expert-only territory.
The best window is Monday morning the 20th of July. Still 2.2m from the E, 10 seconds, energy of 1006 – strong. But the wind switches to a light offshore from the W, and it’s clean. That’s the one to aim for. The reef will handle that long-period E swell nicely, and with glassy conditions, it’ll be prime for experienced surfers.
Tuesday the 21st morning is also solid: 1.8m from the E, 10 seconds, gentle offshore from the WNW, energy of 676 – clean again. Wednesday the 22nd morning drops to 1.5m but still clean with light cross-offshore wind. Those mornings from the 20th to the 22nd are your best shots.
After that, the 23rd and 24th mornings have smaller 1.0m to 1.1m swell but still clean offshore winds – decent for a relaxed session. Then it fades to nearly nothing by the 26th and 27th, with energy below 100.
So, the standout: Monday the 20th of July, early. Big, clean, offshore. That’s the call.
Rusty.
