The Lowdown
Alright, my friends, Rusty here, looking at the next 16 days for Coombesgate Beach. And I gotta tell ya, it's gonna be a long, quiet stretch. There's a big ol' gap of bad surf to start, and only one, maybe two, small windows to even think about paddling out.
Overall, it's rough. For the first week and a half, it's all "poor surf conditions." The wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore, blowing a moderate to fresh breeze that just tears the ocean up. The waves are there, but they're a mess.
Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th? Forget it. We got waves 5ft to 6ft, but they're getting thrashed by onshore winds up to 22 mph. The combined energy is moderate to strong, but it's a total washing machine.
The whole first week is a no-go. Even when the swell drops (2ft to 5ft), the wind is cross-shore or cross-onshore, just making everything lumpy and choppy. The energy drops off a cliff, too. You're just not getting a decent wave.
There's a tiny bit of light onshore wind on the 11th and 12th, but the swell has a short period (7-9 seconds) and is from the WSW, so the waves will be gutless and sloppy.
The only real chance you get is on the morning of Tuesday, September 15th. The wind drops to a glassy 3 mph from the WNW. We've got a 5ft swell from the W, but it's a short 7-second period. The combined energy is a moderate 256. It's labeled "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." It's a 1 out of 10. For you beginners out there, that 5ft swell could be a fun, clean little wave if you're patient.
After that, the wind cranks right back up. By Thursday the 17th, we’re looking at a 12ft swell from the W, but it's getting hammered by 25 mph cross-onshore wind. That's expert-only territory, and the conditions are a complete mess.
The last possible glimmer is Tuesday morning, September 22nd. We get a 6ft swell with clean, cross-off winds from the NE. It's still a marginal forecast (1/10), but that clean wind is the only other decent window in the whole 16 days.
So, there you have it. A whole lot of nothing. If you're determined to get wet, your only real shot is the morning of the 15th. For everything else, leave your board at home.
Rusty, out.

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.
