The Lowdown
Alright, crew, Rusty here. We've got a serious stretch of groundswell lining up for The Bombie over the next couple of weeks. This is a heavy, expert-only reef, so don't even think about it if you're not fully dialed in. Water temp is sitting about normal for this time of year.
The pattern for the first week is all about a consistent, long-period SW groundswell. We start Monday the 24th with solid energy, waves around 6ft on a 16-second period from the SSW. The energy is strong – 1766 on the combined scale. It's an early call, and it looks clean with that ESE offshore breeze. The Bombie can handle this, but it's always a serious paddle. The standout of that first week has to be Thursday the 27th afternoon. The swell drops a touch but the period holds, and there's a big jump in energy to 3003. With the wind staying offshore, it's going to be firing.
Friday the 28th is the one to circle. The swell jumps back up to 8ft, and the energy is pumping at 3887. With a 16-second period and that clean offshore wind, this is the heaviest and best day of the run. This is proper expert territory. After that, it eases back a bit over the weekend, but there's still plenty of fun for the experienced crew. Sunday the 30th is smaller, but still clean.
The start of the second week brings another pulse. Monday the 31st sees the period stretch out to 19 seconds and then 18 seconds in the arvo. That is some very long-period groundswell, and The Bombie is a reef, so it should handle it well. The energy is reading 2107 in the afternoon. Then Tuesday and Wednesday the 1st and 2nd of September hold strong with 7-7ft surf and excellent conditions. Good, solid, powerful surf.
After that, the energy starts to fade a bit. Thursday the 3rd is still good, then Friday the 4th gets a bit weaker and the wind goes a little sideways in the afternoon. Saturday the 5th has a small cross-shore breeze, which isn't ideal, but the swell is still there. The real kicker for the back half is Sunday the 6th of September. The period jumps back to 18 seconds, and the afternoon energy shoots up to 2940 with 6ft waves. That looks like a sneaky good day. The run ends on Monday the 7th with another strong pulse at 8ft and clean conditions before easing into Tuesday.
Overall, the best of the best is Friday the 28th. Big, powerful, and clean. A close second is the Sunday the 6th session with that long-period energy. This is all for experts, no beginners here. Crowds are sometimes a factor here, so just be aware you might have company on the peak. Get after it.
Rusty.

Information about the The Bombie Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for The Bombie provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at The Bombie can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our The Bombie surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (The Bombie) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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 The 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.
