The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on offer at Coombesgate Beach over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, the outlook is a bit of a flat spell for the most part. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak waves that are barely worth a look. The first few days have nothing for anyone, with swell heights barely reaching 0.7 ft and very low wave energy. The winds are mostly cross-onshore or onshore, keeping things messy. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so nothing unusual there.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show up until Wednesday, August 12th, in the morning. We finally see a bump in swell to 2 ft from the west, with a 10-second period and weak energy. The wind is offshore from the east, moderate at 16 mph, so the surf will be clean. It’s surfable, but very ordinary conditions. The afternoon gets worse with onshore winds.
The standout session, if you can call it that, looks like Saturday morning, August 15th. The swell is still small at 2 ft from the west, with 8-second period and weak energy, but the wind goes glassy out of the east-northeast at just 3 mph. That’s the cleanest we’ll see it. The waves will be tiny, gutless, and inconsistent, but for a beginner on a foamie, it’s a rare window of clean, rideable dribbles.
After that, the swell tries to build a bit more, but the winds turn onshore and cross-onshore, staying choppy and poor. The wave energy climbs into the moderate range from August 16th to the 19th, with heights between 4 ft and 5 ft, but the period is short (6 to 8 seconds), and the wind is always onshore or cross-onshore. The surf is poor and messy. By August 21st, a strong wind event kicks up, but the swell is blown out and messy, with strong cross-shore winds of 25 mph and 22 mph, making it more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The wave energy gets strong, but it’s not for us.
So, bottom line: there’s a long flat spell from now until the 11th, then a few small, marginal windows. The best of a bad bunch is Saturday morning, August 15th, for the glassy conditions, but don’t expect much. If you’re a beginner or just want to get wet, that’s your one shot. Otherwise, it’s a tough stretch.
Rusty.
