Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's look at what's on offer at Coombesgate Beach.

Honestly, I've gotta call it as it is. This whole 16-day stretch is a struggle. There isn't a single standout session, not one that gets the blood pumping. We're looking at a lot of days with hardly any energy, and what's there gets messed up by the wind direction. The water is running a little warmer than normal for this time of year, about a touch over average.

Here inside the first week, from Friday July 3rd to Thursday July 9th, the surf is just poor. We're dealing with tiny waves, from 1ft up to maybe 3ft on the Friday afternoon, but even that bigger 3ft swell is from the west with a 10-second period and a cross-onshore wind that'll make it choppy. The combined energy that day is only moderate (162). The whole setup is just messy. The wind is stubbornly cross-onshore or directly onshore for most of this period, keeping everything lumpy and uninviting.

There's a little glimmer towards the end of the first week, around the 9th and into the 10th. The wind goes light off-shore or cross-offshore, cleaning things right up. But the problem is the swell. The waves drop right off to just 1ft. The period is a weak 9-seconds, so you'd be bobbing around on tiny, weak lines. The energy is quite weak (25-27). It’d be clean, but there's almost nothing to ride.

Moving into the second week, from the 11th to the 18th of July, it's more of the same story. The swell height tries to pick up a bit, hitting around 2ft to 3ft on a few occasions, but the wind is blown out again. On Sunday July 12th, we see a 3ft swell but with a period of only 4 seconds from the northwest – that's just wind-chop, not a proper wave. A couple of days, like the 13th with a fresh breeze from the WNW, and the 16th with a strong cross-shore wind and risk of thunderstorms, are just write-offs.

Forget about it being a beginner spot today; the waves are too small and the conditions are too shifty. Even for the more experienced, there's just nothing to work with here. Coombesgate Beach is a beach and reef setup that needs a decent clean swell and some luck with the wind, and it's just not getting it in this window.

On the bright side, it rarely stays this flat for long around here, and the forecasts always have a chance to change for the better.

This is Rusty, signing off.

Information about the Coombesgate Beach Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Coombesgate Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Coombesgate Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Coombesgate Beach surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Coombesgate Beach) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.

Coombesgate Beach is 14 km (9 miles) from Appledore. If you plan a holiday in North Devon, look for hotels and other accommodation in Appledore. Appledore has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
