The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Coombesgate Beach over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it's a quiet stretch. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a struggle. There's no real standout, no day where you'd be rushing to get your wetsuit on. The first few days are tiny, with swell heights barely a ripple. We're looking at a long gap of poor surf and no real recommendations until the 26th of July, which is over a week away.
The best we can hope for is a bit of a pulse around the 26th of July. The swell picks up to 3ft from the west, but the period is a short 6 seconds, which is just windswell. The combined energy climbs to 96 (moderate), but it's still marked as "poor surf conditions". The wind is onshore and strong, up to 19 mph, so it's going to be pretty messy. For a beginner-friendly beach and reef break like this, that kind of wind and short-period swell isn't going to do it any favours. It might actually look more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing that day.
The conditions stay pretty average through the rest of the first week of August. There's a few mornings with cleaner winds, but the swell is just too small to get excited about. On the 28th of July, we see a combined energy of 128 (moderate) with a 3ft swell from the west and a 9-second period, but the wind is cross-on, so it won't be clean.
To be honest, this is a tough forecast. Coombesgate Beach is fairly consistent, so it's a bit of a surprise to see such a blank run. But it happens. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so at least you won't be freezing. The key message is: don't get your hopes up for anything decent for at least a week and a half. Keep an eye on it, but this one's a write-off for now.
Rusty.
