What is the weather doing in Clovelly right now?
The live forecast above shows current conditions for Clovelly, a sheltered south-facing beach between Bronte and Coogee. Readings at the nearest Bureau of Meteorology station (Sydney Airport, 8 kilometres north) typically run a degree or two cooler here due to the persistent onshore flow. Look for a south-east swell mixing with a short-period wind chop as the morning wears on.
Clovelly weather for the coming days
For the rest of this week, a trough lingering off the Illawarra coast will keep patchy rain and a chance of a thunderstorm in the forecast for Clovelly and the broader Sydney region. The clovelly weather 14 day forecast from the Bureau indicates a gradual drying trend from the weekend, though sea breezes will strengthen each afternoon. Swell heights may build to 1.5 metres by Friday, so check local beach closures if you plan to swim.
Frequently asked questions about Clovelly weather
How accurate is the Clovelly weather radar?
The nearest weather radar is at Sydney Airport (Terrey Hills is the main Doppler). For Clovelly, the radar often overestimates light drizzle due to coastal refraction; use the live forecast above for the most reliable nowcast.
Does Clovelly get its own microclimate?
Yes. The steep sandstone cliffs hold warmth after sunset, and the shallow rock shelf creates a distinct swimming spot that can be several degrees warmer than neighbouring Coogee weather in still conditions.
When is the best time to visit Clovelly Beach?
Early morning before the nor-easterly sea breeze kicks in (around 10–11 am) is calmest. Summer afternoons are often gusty, with the clovelly weather radar showing showers moving inland.
