The Lowdown
Alright, mate, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Coombesgate Beach. Straight up, it’s a tough watch. We’re looking at a 16-day window that’s almost entirely a write-off, but there’s a tiny flicker of hope right at the very, very end.
First off, the water’s sitting at 65°, which is 5° warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s pretty wild – feels like we’re still in summer, but don't let that fool you.
The pattern is grim. For the first 13 days, from Friday the 11th right through to Wednesday the 23rd, it’s just one poor report after another. Winds are onshore, cross-shore, or just plain messy, and the wave quality is shot. There’s a long gap there with absolutely nothing worth paddling out for. A couple of mornings around the 22nd and 23rd of September look clean with light offshore breezes from the East and ESE, but the swell is tiny—down to 2ft from the West. It might be pretty, but you’ll be waiting forever for a ride.
The only real standout, and it’s a big “but,” is the morning of Thursday the 24th of September. We’ve got a jump in swell to 5ft from the West, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy kicks up to a moderate 438, and with a light cross-offshore breeze from the SSE, it’ll be clean. The issue is the score is still marginal, so conditions could be tricky, but that morning window is the best of a bad bunch by a country mile.
After that, it falls apart again until the very last session in the forecast: Saturday afternoon, the 26th of September. The swell jumps back to 5ft from the WSW, with a period of 7 seconds and combined energy of 269. The wind is light from the NE, giving us a clean, cross-offshore flow. That afternoon session is the only time we get an “expect good surf conditions” nod, but at Coombesgate, with crowds possible, you might have some company.
Overall, for the whole 16 days, the single clear call is the afternoon of Saturday the 26th of September. The 24th morning is worth a look if you’re desperate, but the 26th is your best shot. Everything else is a write-off.
Rusty.
