The Lowdown
Let’s get into it. Rusty here, looking at Coombesgate Beach.
The first week and a half is ugly. Onshore and cross-onshore winds from the west and southwest are blowing hard, and they tear up whatever swell is rolling in. The wave energy runs moderate (records showing 117 to 293 combined energy) but the surface stays choppy and lumpy. Water temp is about average for the season, nothing wild. Not worth paddling out until things settle.
We finally get a little break on the morning of September 22nd. Light southeast cross-off winds clean up a small 1.0m west swell. It’s short-period at 6 seconds and weak energy (79), so it’s surfable but very ordinary. That window closes fast – by afternoon the wind turns onshore again.
The real pay-off is September 24th. Thursday morning brings glassy calm conditions and a solid 2.4m west swell with an 8-second period and strong combined energy (746). That’s a proper push with zero wind for clean faces. This one’s for experienced surfers only – 2.4m is heavy, especially on a beach-and-reef setup. Beginners, sit this out. If you can handle it, that’s the best session of the whole outlook.
Then Friday morning, September 25th, gives us another beauty: 2.5m swell from the WSW with a 9-second period, glassy conditions, and ENE air barely moving. Energy hits very strong (1051). This is expert territory for sure. Crowds are possible, so be early.
The 26th also holds size around 2.5m with morning cross-off winds keeping it clean. But those two glassy mornings – the 24th and 25th – are the ones to chase.
First 11 days are a write-off. Wait for the 24th and 25th.
