The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be honest, looking at the whole 16-day window for Coombesgate Beach, it's a pretty grim stretch. There are no real standouts for a good, clean surf session. The wind is nearly always on it or cross-on, and when it’s not, the swell is small and weak.
The only flicker of hope comes right at the very end.
We kick off with nothing on the cards. Saturday the 12th is a write-off with a fresh 22 mph SW cross breeze making a mess of a 5 ft WSW swell. Sunday and Monday continue the trend of choppy, cross-onshore slop.
We get into the middle of the week – Tuesday the 15th through to the 22nd – and it's still poor. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore and the waves are just lumpy and uninviting. Even when the swell gets a bit of size, it’s blown out. On Saturday the 19th the swell hits 7 ft – that’s expert territory size – but it’s accompanied by 28 mph onshore winds and rain showers. That's not paddle surfing; that's kite-surfing territory, and a messy one at that.
The water temp is sitting about average for the time of year, nothing wild to report.
Now, here’s the one true standout. On Wednesday the 23rd of September, we finally get some sweet conditions. The morning brings 7 ft of swell from the WSW with clean surf and a slight offshore breeze from the SE at just 3 mph. That’s the pick. The afternoon keeps it clean with a 7 ft W swell and a cross-off breeze from the ENE at 9 mph. Combined wave energy is moderate to strong (483), and with that period of 7 seconds, it’ll be punchy. For a beach and reef setup, this is the day. But don’t expect a crowd-free zone; it can get busy here sometimes.
Thursday the 24th still has some clean waves in the morning with a 5 ft W swell and a 16 mph offshore ESE breeze, but it’s smaller and more ordinary.
After that, from Friday the 25th onwards, it all fades back into small, weak, and messy conditions with very low wave energy (down to 39 by the 26th).
So, if you’re keen, pencil in that Wednesday the 23rd of September. The rest is a long, flat, or blown-out slog.
Rusty.
