The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s on offer. It’s a pretty bleak picture for the next couple of weeks, to be honest. The surf is small and the wind is mostly howling onshore. We’ve got a real grind ahead of us.
The first spot to talk about is Coombesgate Beach. It’s a beach and reef set-up, fairly exposed to the west. It’s not looking like much for at least the first week. Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th are a write-off, with onshore winds and poor surf. The water is sitting at 65°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, so if you’re just having a paddle, it’ll feel nice.
We’ll see a little more energy mid-week, but it’s still coming in with onshore winds, so it’s messy. The combined swell energy is moderate, but the 5ft of west swell with a 10-second period is going to be chopped up by a cross-onshore wind. Not worth getting excited about.
The gap of no good surf stretches all the way from now through the weekend and into the early part of next week. The swell stays small, and the wind keeps flipping around, but it’s not until Tuesday the 22nd that we finally get a bit of hope. The morning shows a clean, 2ft west swell, with a 12-second period. It’s still weak, but it’s glassy, clean, and surfable. It’s a beginner-friendly size and the offshore wind will make it feel better than it looks.
Wednesday the 23rd and Thursday the 24th have similar small, clean-ish mornings, with light winds and some glassy conditions. These are your best bets for a splash, but they’re ordinary, not classic. The swell direction is from the west, which is fine for this spot.
So, the standout of the whole run is the Tuesday the 22nd morning – it’s the cleanest combination of small swell and no wind. After that, the energy just fades away. By the 27th and 28th, it’s tiny, with the swell dropping to under a foot and the energy dying completely. The strong offshore winds on the 28th are just making it hard to paddle into anything anyway.
Basically, there’s nothing proper on the horizon in this 16-day window. It’s a case of getting your fix on those small, clean mornings if you just want to get wet.
