The Lowdown
Grab your board, but don't get too excited just yet. Coombesgate Beach is a beginner-friendly beach and reef setup that's fairly consistent, but this 16-day window is a real mixed bag of almosts and not-quites. The water is sitting at 66°F, which is a solid 5° warmer than normal for this time of year – you’ll feel that weirdly warm water when you get in.
The first few days are a write-off. Thursday the 10th has some small 3ft SW swell but a stiff 19 mph crosswind is making a mess of it, and that combined energy is a weak 51. The afternoon gets a bit more size at 6ft, but the wind is even stronger. Friday the 11th is the first real glimpse of hope. We’ve got a clean 4ft W swell rolling in with a 9-second period, and the wind is offshore from the NW at 9 mph. The wave energy is moderate (300). It’s not huge, but it’s clean and the low tide banks might just hold a little shape. Saturday and Sunday are a step back with cross/onshore winds and lumpy conditions.
The middle of the week around the 16th and 17th sees some size, with 5ft WNW swell on Wednesday and a solid 449 energy reading, but the wind is cross-onshore and lumpy. Thursday the 17th has the wind offshore but the swell drops to a tiny 2ft – not enough to paddle for.
The best looking window is actually the last few days. For the morning of Thursday the 24th of September, a solid 7ft W swell with 7-second period and a 475 energy reading hits. The wind is a moderate cross-onshore from the west, so it won't be glassy, but there's plenty of push. Then Friday the 25th of September morning is the real standout. A 5ft W swell, 8-second period, 282 energy, and the wind is a gentle cross-shore from the SSW at 9 mph. That gentle cross-shore will take the edge off the chop and leave some fun, clean lines for a beginner to get into. That’s the one to circle on your calendar.

A general guide to surfing at Coombesgate Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
