The Lowdown
Alright folks, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at the 16-day outlook for Coombesgate Beach. It's a beach and reef setup, fairly exposed to the swell, and it looks like we're in for a long wait before anything really gets going. The water's sitting at a balmy 64.6°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year.
Right now, through the end of July and into the first couple of days of August, it's a proper flat spell. We're looking at tiny waves, mostly under 1.6ft, and the wind is a mess. Plenty of onshore and cross-onshore winds in the 9 to 19 mph range, making for choppy, poor conditions. The energy is weak, with readings barely climbing into double digits (7 for Thursday afternoon, 9 for Friday morning). There's a brief moment on the morning of Tuesday the 28th with glassy conditions and a gentle cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is still only 1.0ft with a combined energy of just 12. It's a long, dry stretch.
Finally, around the 1st of August, the sea starts to bark. Saturday morning, the 1st, we see a solid 7.2ft swell from the west-southwest, with a period of 9 seconds and a good cross-offshore wind from the south. The energy jumps to 758 (moderate), and the conditions are clean. That afternoon, it gets even better: the swell holds at 9.8ft from the same direction, with glassy conditions and a combined energy of 1288 (strong). This is the standout for the whole period. This is a good size, so it's more for the experienced crew. The west-southwest direction is close to the optimum west-northwest, so it should wrap in nicely. Sunday morning, the 2nd, still has a decent 5.2ft swell with clean cross-offshore winds, but the energy drops to 404 (moderate), and the forecast is marginal. The rest of the outlook after that drops back into tiny, poor surf with strong cross-shore winds.
So, to be real with you, the first week and a bit is a total bust. The standout is clearly the 1st of August, starting with a solid morning and an epic afternoon session. After that, it fades again. Coombesgate Beach is a fairly consistent spot, so this blank run is a bit of a surprise, but it won't stay poor forever.
