Alright folks, Rusty here.
Honestly, it's a grim stretch ahead for Coombesgate Beach. For the next couple of weeks, we're looking at next to nothing worth paddling out for. The whole run is filled with poor surf conditions and tiny, weak swell. There's a bit of energy that tries to show up around the 18th of July, but with short-period windswell and messy wind, it's just not going to come together for a proper surf.
The water temperature is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, coming in at 62°.
After what feels like an eternity of flatness, there's finally a flicker of hope on Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st. It's not a classic, but it's the best we've got. On Monday afternoon, the wind goes light onshore from the WNW and we see swell building to 6ft from the west. The combined energy jumps to 378, which is moderate, but the period is a short 7 seconds and it's a beach and reef setup. That short-period, onshore swell is going to be a messy, closed-out affair – definitely not for beginners, and only the most desperate experts will find anything in it. The crowds are only *sometimes* an issue here, so you probably won't have to fight for a wave, but there won't be many good ones to fight over. Honestly, with that short-period chop and building swell, this looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a traditional paddle surfer. The forecast is a bit more reliable since it's closer in, but the quality is still poor.
That's it. A single, marginal blip of energy at the very end of the outlook. Don't hold your breath on anything before that.
Rusty.

Information about the Coombesgate Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Coombesgate Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Coombesgate Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Coombesgate Beach 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 (Coombesgate Beach) 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 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. 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.
