The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down Coombesgate Beach in feet and miles per hour.
Coombesgate Beach is a beach and reef setup, fairly consistent, but the wind and swell just aren’t lining up. The water is 66°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year—a solid 5° above average. Nice for a paddle, but the waves are tough.
We start Wednesday the 9th with a 4ft westerly swell, short 8-second period, and a cross-onshore wind at 12 mph. Choppy and messy, energy is weak (224). Not worth it. Thursday the 10th has a tiny 1ft wave in the morning with clean offshore winds, but it’s too small. The afternoon jumps to 5ft, but the period drops to 6 seconds and the wind is 22 mph cross-shore—lumpy.
Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th are similar: 4ft to 6ft westerly swell, but always with cross or cross-onshore wind, keeping things choppy. Sunday the 13th has a 5ft swell with a 10-second period, energy up to 379, but the wind is onshore.
We get a window on Tuesday the 15th. The morning has a 3ft westerly swell with a light offshore from the southeast—clean but small. The afternoon is the standout: a 4ft swell from the southwest, and the wind goes glassy, dead calm. The energy is moderate (143). That afternoon is your best shot for clean, surfable waves. Crowds are "sometimes" possible.
Wednesday the 16th brings a big 8ft westerly swell with a 9-second period, and the energy is massive (1057 in the morning). But the wind is a fresh cross-shore at 19 mph, then cross-onshore at 22 mph. That’s a lot of power with messy wind. Too big for beginners, only for experts, and the quality is poor. For a beach and reef break, this looks more interesting for kite surfing.
After that, the rest of the run drops off. Thursday the 17th through the 24th of September sees small swells—mostly under 3ft, with periods of 6 to 10 seconds. The wind is almost always onshore or cross-shore. Energy stays low, mostly under 200. There’s a gap of several days with no real recommendation.
So, your best bet is Tuesday afternoon the 15th for a glassy session. The 8ft on the 16th has power but is a battle. Beyond that, it’s a quiet spell. Forecasts can change.
