The Lowdown
Alright surfers, Rusty here with the lowdown. It’s a pretty bleak couple of weeks ahead, so don’t get your hopes up too high. We’re looking at Coombesgate Beach, and it’s gonna take some real patience.
The water is sitting at a weird 65°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you can leave the hoodie at home.
Right now, we’re staring down a nearly two-week dry spell. From the 22nd all the way through the end of July, there’s basically nothing. Swell heights are stuck between 0.6ft and 2ft, with the wind blowing onshore or cross-onshore, making a mess of already tiny waves. The combined energy is in the weak single digits to low teens (13-46). It’s a total flat spell.
Things get a little more interesting on the morning of Saturday, August 1st. The swell jumps to 5ft from the W, with a moderate cross-onshore wind at 16 mph. The combined energy hits a moderate 384, but it’s still choppy and messy. Not worth paddling out.
Your one and only real shot is the morning of Wednesday, August 5th. We’ve got a clean, light offshore breeze from the E, hitting a tiny 2ft swell from the W with a 10-second period. The combined energy is a low 70 (weak), but with the glassy surface, you might actually get a few clean little rollers at Coombesgate Beach. Don’t expect power – just a clean, small wave to yourself.
After that, the wind goes raw again on the 6th of August with strong onshores wrecking any chance of clean surf. The second week is a total bust.
So, keep your wax on and mark your calendar for the morning of August 5th. It’s not going to be a classic, but honest, clean waves will be there.
Rusty.

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.
