Table - best surf conditions forecast for Coombesgate Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s break it down. Coombesgate Beach is looking like a total washout for the next sixteen days. There’s a massive gap of near-nothingness right from the start, so you’ll be staring at flat water for a long, long time.
The water is 64° – that’s way warmer than usual for this time of year, a big 4° anomaly, so it’s like a bath, but the surf is a desert.
The only pulse that shows any life comes late on the 24th of July, with an 8ft onshore blast from the west. It’s got a combined energy of 1063, so it’s powerful, but it’s messy and blown out. The morning of the 25th of July is a little cleaner, with a 5ft west swell, a 10-second period, and a light cross-shore wind. The combined energy is 347, so it’s got some weight, but it’s still just a marginal call for a beach and reef spot. The rest of the run is tiny, weak, and onshore.
There’s simply no good surf option here. If you’re into kiting, that big swell on the 24th might be worth a look, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a blank run.

Information about the Coombesgate Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Coombesgate Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Coombesgate Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Coombesgate Beach surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Coombesgate Beach) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
