The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what the next couple of weeks are shaping up like for this spot.
Straight up, it’s a tough run ahead. For a spot like Clovelly Bombie, a deep-water reef that needs a good, clean swell, we’re seeing a whole lot of nothing for the first few days. From now right through until the end of the week, the ocean is just not cooperating. The swell is tiny, the wind is messy, and the water is mostly choppy or cross-onshore. You’d be better off staying in bed.
We finally get a bit of a pulse on Friday the 11th of September, but even then, it’s a mixed bag. The morning shows some promise: a 6ft SSE swell with a 9-second period and clean conditions with a light cross-offshore SSW breeze at 15 km/h. The combined energy is moderate at 545 – enough to get the heart rate up. That’s your best window for the whole first week, but you’ve gotta be an advanced surfer. Anything over 5ft at Bombie is a serious wave. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
Saturday morning the 12th is another shout, with glassy conditions and a 4ft SSE swell (10-second period) and 315 in combined energy. That’s a nice, clean option for a paddle. The swell direction is coming from the SSE though, and this spot really wants an ENE windswell to light up properly, so it might not be as good as the numbers suggest.
After that Saturday morning, it all goes flat again. We’re looking at days of tiny, short-period junk, with cross-shore winds and lumpy conditions. Honestly, this stretch from the 13th to the 20th is a write-off.
Now, keep your eyes on Monday the 21st of September. We’ve got a potential standout, but it’s far out, so don’t lock in plans yet. A big 10ft SSE swell is forecast for the morning, with a 10-second period and a massive 1624 combined energy reading – that’s serious wave energy. The catch? It’s cross-shore winds and only a “marginal” forecast for tide or conditions. For a reef like Bombie, with that much size, you’re looking at serious, expert-only territory. If the wind stays light and the tide lines up, it’ll be a beast. But for now, it’s a big “maybe.”
Overall, if you’re not a hardcore charger, this is a quiet period. The Friday 11th morning is the best bet for the first week, and the 21st is the one to watch for the second.
Rusty out.

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.
