The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Coombesgate Beach has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, it's a pretty slow start. The first week or so is looking flat and messy, so don't rush to grab your board just yet. The water's sitting at a balmy 66°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year – a nice bonus if you're just going for a paddle.
The real action doesn't start to build until the latter part of the forecast. The standout window is shaping up to be Thursday, the 20th of August. We've got a solid pulse of swell filling in overnight, with a 8ft WNW swell arriving on Thursday morning. The combined energy is a solid 735 (moderate wave energy) and with a light Easterly cross-offshore breeze, conditions are looking clean. This is definitely the pick of the whole period for those with some experience. By the afternoon, the swell will drop back to 8ft, still clean but with a bit more breeze, so the morning session is the clear winner.
After that, things get a bit mixed. Friday the 21st starts off glassy with a small 3ft W swell, but it's pretty weak. The next real chance comes on Sunday the 23rd of August. The morning brings a 8ft W swell with a clean offshore SE breeze at 12 mph and a solid energy reading of 596 (moderate wave energy). That's a good one for the more experienced crew, offering some punchy waves without the low-quality onshores of the days around it.
The rest of the 16-day window is a write-off, with onshore winds, lumpy conditions, and generally poor surf. Sunday the 23rd morning is really your last decent shout before the pattern turns ugly again.
So, to sum it up: don't bother for the first week. Mark your calendar for Thursday the 20th morning for the best of the swell, and Sunday the 23rd morning is a solid backup. The rest is just watching the wind blow.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Coombesgate Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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 Coombesgate Beach 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.
