The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s cookin’ for Coombesgate Beach over the next couple of weeks.
Gotta be honest, the surf outlook is pretty bleak for a while. There’s a big dry spell right from the start, with nothing worth paddling out for. The first real chance of a wave doesn’t pop up until Monday, September 7th, and even that’s a maybe. So we’re looking at a solid week of flat or junk conditions before anything shows a pulse.
We get a few pushes of swell, but the wind just won’t cooperate. Early on, there’s a moderate west-southwest groundswell running about 5ft with a 9-second period, but it’s trashed by a moderate cross-shore breeze and a cross-chop, making it a mess. The combined wave energy is moderate at 485, but the quality is zero. The water temp is 67°, which is much warmer than average for this time of year – nearly 5° above normal, so you can leave the thick wetsuit at home.
The biggest surf hits around Friday, September 4th, with a solid 10ft swell from the west, but it’s blown out by a 25 mph onshore wind. That’s expert-only territory, and honestly, it looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The wave energy is strong at 1136, but it’s a washing machine.
There is one tiny window that stands out as the best on offer. It’s on Sunday, September 6th. The swell is tiny, only 2ft from the west with a short 6-second period, and the energy is weak at 42. But the wind is a light cross-offshore breeze from the SSE, and the report says it’s clean. It’s not going to be epic, but if you’re jonesing for a paddle and some tiny, clean waves, that’s your best shot.
After that, Monday, September 7th morning shows a glimmer. A 4ft west swell with a very long 12-second period rolls in. That’s proper groundswell, giving the waves some shape, but the wind is a gentle cross-shore. The combined energy is moderate at 397. The report calls it marginal, so it’s a maybe, not a guarantee. Keep an eye on it.
Beyond that, the second week is a write-off. Small, weak swells with onshore or cross-onshore winds, or clean but flat conditions. The long-range stuff on the 12th and 13th shows tiny 1ft to 2ft west swells with clean winds, but it’s barely enough to get wet.
Tough run, folks. Forecasts can change, but right now, this stretch looks lean.
Rusty.
