The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Coombesgate Beach. This is a beginner-friendly beach and reef set-up, fairly exposed to the swell. Honestly, the 16-day window is a tough one – there's not a single session flagged as good. The wind and the swell just aren't lining up to give us clean, rideable waves. We're looking at a long, blank run from the 10th of September right through until the 25th, with nothing worth paddling out for.
The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual there.
Thursday the 10th kicks things off with a tiny 2ft SW swell, but a strong 16 mph cross-shore wind has it chopped up and messy. The energy is weak (46). It stays poor through the weekend, with the swell bumping up to 6ft on Saturday but it's messy and blown out.
Sunday the 13th sees a 5ft W swell with a decent 10-second period, but it's cross-onshore, keeping it poor even with moderate energy (392). By Monday the 14th we're back to small, weak surf.
The pattern of poor conditions holds right through the week. There's a glimmer of clean conditions on Saturday the 19th morning with a light cross-offshore wind, but the swell is tiny at 2ft with only 50 energy – barely a ripple.
Then, on Sunday the 20th of September, things get interesting but messy. A strong 10ft WNW swell rolls in with very strong energy (811). The problem is a fresh cross-onshore wind and a short 7-second period, making it lumpy and poor. It's too big for beginners and just plain rough for everyone else. If it were clean it'd be a standout, but it's not.
From the 21st to the 25th, the wind stays onshore or cross-onshore, the swell drops back, and it's all poor through to the end of the outlook.
To be honest, there's no day in this 16-day window that I'd point you to. The waves are either too small, too messy, or too wind-affected. For this area, a run this quiet isn't unusual. The setup looks far more appealing for kite surfing than paddle surfing on the bigger, blown-out days.
Stay patient, keep an eye on the charts. It tends not to stay poor for long.
Rusty.
