Table - best surf conditions forecast for Coombesgate Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the 16-day window for Coombesgate Beach is looking like a tough stretch. We’ve got a long, quiet gap before anything even sniffs rideable, and then when it does finally arrive, the conditions are going to be a mess.
From now through most of the first week, it’s flat. The swell is barely a ripple, with heights stuck at 0.3ft to 1.0ft and combined swell energy bouncing between 2 and 28 (weak). You’ll see some glassy mornings on the 17th and 18th, but there’s simply no water moving to do anything with it. It’s a total write-off for a paddle.
We then drift through a long period of nothing. Late July, from the 20th to the 25th, it’s the same story – knee-high slop at best, with energy levels barely cracking double digits. A few cleaner moments with cross-off winds, but the swell is too small to even push a foamie. This is a real desert.
Then, around the 26th, we start to see a pulse. The 26th afternoon brings a tiny lift to 3ft from the WSW, with a short period of 6 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 77 (still weak), but the wind is a fresh cross-onshore, making it lumpy and messy. Not worth a wetsuit.
The real change comes on the 27th and 28th. The swell ramps up, hitting 6ft to 7ft from the W with a period of 8 seconds on the 27th. The combined energy jumps into the moderate range (403 to 545). But here’s the kicker – it’s accompanied by strong cross-onshore winds from the SW at 25 mph, creating strong cross-onshore and messy surf. By the 28th, we’ve got 6ft of swell at 10 seconds, with a hefty 674 combined energy, but the wind is still onshore from the W at 16 mph. The water’s going to be a washing machine.
This is a classic case of too much, too messy. For a beach and reef setup like Coombesgate, this is more suited for a kite surfer than a traditional surfer. The waves will be big, but the quality will be poor. If you’re an expert, you might find something on the 28th, but it’s going to be a battle. Honestly, the best advice is to wait for the next forecast cycle. This one is a dud.
Rusty.

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

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.
