The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Coombesgate Beach. To be brutally honest, it’s a pretty grim run for the next 16 days. The whole window is thin, messy, and blown out. There’s no standout, nothing that’d get me out of bed early.
The first real chance to even think about a paddle is Sunday, August 9th. The morning brings a glassy surface with a light breeze from the NNW, and the swell is a weak 3ft from the west, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is a feeble 77, so it’s weak. It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary. The water temp is about average for the time of year.
After that, it’s back to the same story. Most of the following days are plagued by onshore winds, often strong, and the swell stays small or gets chopped up. There’s a gap of several days with no real recommendations. We get a small clean window on the morning of Wednesday, August 12th, with a light easterly cross-off breeze and a tiny 1.0ft swell from the WSW, but the period is a long 10 seconds, which is a bit of a tease for a beach and reef setup like this – it might break too straight. The energy is a paltry 20. Not worth the drive.
August 18th shows a bump in swell size, with 4ft to 6ft from the WSW and W, but the wind is fresh and cross-onshore, making it lumpy and ugly. The combined energy gets up to 266, which is moderate, but it’s still poor surf conditions. The morning of August 19th is similar, with 5ft swell and onshore winds.
For a break that’s a beach and reef, fairly exposed to the WNW swell direction, and beginner-friendly, it’s just not cooperating. There’s no point chasing it. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on most of these days. Honestly, it’s a blank run. It tends not to stay poor for long, but this one’s a tough stretch.
