The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer down at Coombesgate Beach.
To be honest, the next 16 days are a bit of a flat spell for us. There’s nothing on the cards that’s worth paddling out for. The water temperature is sitting at 66°F which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing that’s firing.
The first sniff of anything comes on Thursday afternoon, 30th July, but it’s a no-go. We’re looking at a 2ft swell from the west, with a short period of 5 seconds, and onshore wind from the WNW at 12 mph. The combined energy is a weak 24, and the conditions are just poor. That pattern sticks around for the next few days. Friday morning, 31st July, is a 2ft west-northwest swell, but the wind is cross-onshore, making it choppy again. The afternoon is onshore again. This repeats all the way through the weekend.
We do get a brief window of offshore wind on Sunday morning, 2nd August. The wind is from the east at 12 mph, and the swell is a tiny 1ft from the WSW with an 8-second period. The water will be clean, but the combined energy is only 23. There’s just not enough push to ride. Monday and Tuesday of the first week are clean with cross-offshore winds, but the swell stays a pathetic 1ft to 2ft.
The only real event in the whole forecast happens on Sunday, 9th August. The swell bumps up to 5ft from the west, with a combined energy of 194 (moderate). The period is still a short 7 seconds, and the wind is cross-shore from the north at 9 mph, keeping it a little choppy. The morning is the best of a bad bunch, but the afternoon swings onshore again. At 5ft, we’re talking about a wave that’s okay for intermediates, but not breaking cleanly. It’s the only day with any real oomph, but the quality just isn’t there.
After that, it drops right back off. The rest of the second week is a depressing mix of tiny 0.7ft to 2ft swells, weak energy readings (mostly under 20), and onshore or cross-onshore winds. There’s a clean morning on Tuesday, 11th August, with an offshore wind from the ESE, but the swell is only 2ft.
Honestly, this is a tough run. The break is fairly consistent, but when the swell is this small and the wind is this bad, there’s nothing to get excited about. For a beach and reef setup like this, the conditions are more interesting for a kite than a paddle on the few days with any wind.
Keep your eyes on the forecast, but don’t hold your breath. This is a blank run for the area.

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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
