The Lowdown
Righto, surf is lookin' like a bit of a wait for the Clovelly Bombie. The whole 16-day window is a real slow burn, so don't get excited just yet. The first few days are a total wipeout with zero on offer until we get to the end of next week. You're lookin' at a gap of nearly a week with nothin' worth paddlin' for.
We finally see a pulse of energy rollin' in around Monday the 20th of July, with a 5ft swell from the east-northeast, but it's messy with onshore wind and the data calls it marginal at best. Not worth your time, mate.
The real standout, and the only one worth mentionin', is Tuesday the 21st of July. We've got a clean 4ft east-northeast swell with a nice 10-second period, and the wind switches to a light offshore from the west in the morning. That'll put a bit of a line on it. The energy is moderate (289), and while it's a small wave, it'll be clean. Keep in mind, Clovelly Bombie is a reef break that's inconsistent and only for advanced surfers, and it's exposed to the east-northeast swell which is the optimum direction. It's a tricky spot, but that Tuesday morning window is your best bet.
There's a bit of a run between the 22nd and the 24th of July where we get some similar-sized swell (4ft to 4ft), but the wind is mostly cross or cross-on, so it won't be as good. The morning of the 25th shapes up alright too with a 4ft east swell and a light offshore, and then the afternoon goes glassy. That's a nice little window for a few clean waves, even if it's small.
After that, it drops off hard. The end of the month is just wind and chop, nothin' doing.
So, if you're a local and you know the Bombie, pencil in Tuesday the 21st of July for a morning session, and maybe the 25th. It's not a big swell, but it'll be clean. For the rest of us, it's a long wait.
