The Lowdown
Right then, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: looking at the next 16 days at Coombesgate Beach, it’s mostly a write-off, if I’m being honest. The first week and a half is a real struggle, with a whole lot of days where the wind is just all wrong. The water is sitting at 66°, which is a staggering 5° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s a very unusual anomaly, and it’s about the only thing that’s out of the ordinary in a good way. The wave energy is up and down, but the quality is just not there for a proper surf.
We’re looking at a solid gap from the start of the period right through the first week, with nothing worth paddling out for. The first hope pops up on Monday, September 7th, when a long-period groundswell (13 seconds) fills in from the west, pushing energy to 784. The swell is around 5 ft, but the wind is cross-shore and then cross-onshore, keeping it messy. The best chance you’ll get is the Friday before, on the 11th of September. It’s not a standout, but it’s the most promising. The morning will have a gentle offshore breeze from the ESE, cleaning up a 4 ft swell from the WSW. The period is a bit short at 8 seconds, and the energy is moderate at 207, but it’ll be surfable. It’s a beach and reef setup, so it’s not going to be a classic, and it’s a beginner-friendly spot, but with the crowds only *sometimes* an issue, it could be a quiet session. The afternoon goes a bit wonky with a cross-offshore wind, but the morning is your pick.
Don’t get too excited about the second week. There’s a brief window on the 15th and 16th of September where the swell sticks around 5 ft to 5 ft, but the onshore and cross-shore winds ruin it. The energy is moderate to strong, but the conditions are poor. One to watch, but don’t bank on it. For now, the 11th of September morning is the only real window for a paddle.
Rusty, signing off.
