The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, but this time in feet and degrees Fahrenheit. Let’s break down Coombesgate Beach. I gotta be honest, the next 16 days look like a rough stretch. We’re looking at a long gap of poor surf before anything even remotely rideable shows up. That first real chance doesn’t come until Saturday the 12th of September, so you’ve got nearly a week of waiting.
On the morning of Saturday the 12th, we finally get a small 3.9ft swell from the west, but it’s short period at 7 seconds, with combined energy at 137 (weak). The wind is offshore from the east, which is a big win – it’ll be clean. The waves are still pretty ordinary, and the spot is inconsistent, but it’s the only window that’s not a total mess. The afternoon cleans up more with a light offshore breeze, but the swell drops to a tiny 1.9ft and energy falls to 80 (weak). It’s very marginal.
The water temp is about normal for this time of year, so no surprise there.
The rest of the forecast is a write-off: onshore winds, lumpy, messy swell, or just flat spells. Monday the 14th of September has a clean 0.9ft wave with an offshore wind, but that’s next to nothing. Tuesday the 15th of September morning goes glassy with a 2.3ft windswell and a period of just 5 seconds – no energy, no shape. That’s a pond, not a surf break.
The only real standout is the morning of Saturday the 12th. It’s small, clean, and the only time the wind isn’t wrecking it. Great for a beginner on a foamie, but don’t expect any power. For the rest of the fortnight, this beach-and-reef spot is going to be better for the kite surfers than anyone with a paddle.
Stay patient, and don’t throw your board in the shed just yet.
