The Lowdown

Right then, let’s have a proper look at what’s on offer for Coombesgate Beach over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, mate, it’s a bit of a tough run. We’ve got a lot of days where the conditions are just not playing ball. The water’s sitting at 66°, which is a solid 5° warmer than you’d expect for this time of year, so that’s a bit of a treat, but the surf quality is the real issue.

We kick off on Thursday, the 3rd of September, with a messy 5ft to 5ft WSW swell. The problem is a stiff 19 mph cross-onshore wind. It’s lumpy and poor, not worth paddling out for.

Friday the 4th sees a bit more size, pushing 7ft from the west, and the wind goes offshore, which is good. But the period is only 8 seconds, and the combined energy is strong at (587) and then (416). Despite the offshore wind, the wave comment is still poor surf conditions. It’s just not organising itself into anything rideable.

Saturday the 5th is smaller, with 4ft in the morning, dropping to 3ft later. The wind goes light offshore, but the period is short and the energy is weak. It’s not the one.

Sunday the 6th is tiny, with 2ft to 2ft and clean conditions, but there’s just no power in the water to push a surfer along.

Now, Monday the 7th looks interesting on paper. We get a 7ft west swell with a long 12-second period. The combined energy is massive at (1111). It’s a proper groundswell. But the wind is howling 16 mph onshore, making it a choppy mess. That’s a massive shame. For the experienced crew, if you can find a bank that’s holding, those long-period lines might have a rare, heavy wall, but the average punter is going to have a rough time of it. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

Tuesday the 8th bumps up to 8ft from the west, with a 9-second period. Again, strong energy at (1003) and (784), but the onshore wind is back at 19 mph. It’s big, raw, and messy – experts only, and even then, only if you’re keen on a battle.

After that, it’s downhill. From Wednesday the 9th right through to the 18th of September, the swell fades away to barely a ripple. There’s a few days in there with clean, offshore winds (like Thursday the 10th with a fresh 19 mph offshore breeze and 5ft swell, and a few other clean days), but the energy is just too low to do anything with. There’s a very long gap with no real surf recommendations from that point on.

So, the one real standout that’s worth watching is Monday the 7th of September. The size and period have serious potential, but only if that wind swings. As it stands, it’s a raw, powerful beast that’s going to be blown out. Keep an eye on that forecast, because if it cleans up, it could be the only session of the window.

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.
