The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s on offer. I’ll be straight with you – Coombesgate Beach is a beach and reef setup, and over this whole 16-day window, it’s not looking like much fun for a surfer. The water is sitting at 66°, which is much warmer than normal for the time of year, a full 5° above average – that’s pretty unusual.
From now through to the end of July and into the first days of August, there’s really nothing to get excited about. The swell is tiny, around 2ft – 2ft, with a short period of only 5 seconds, and the wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore, keeping things choppy and messy. The combined wave energy is low, sitting between 23 and 47 (weak). That’s not surfable.
On the 2nd of August, Sunday morning sees a light cross-offshore breeze from the east at 12 mph, which cleans things up, but the swell is still only 1ft from the WSW at 8 seconds. It’s clean but too small to really ride. The wave energy is just 24 (weak).
The 3rd of August, Monday morning, is similar: 2ft from the WSW, period 9 seconds, with a gentle cross-offshore breeze from the east at 9 mph. The combined energy bumps to 86 (still weak). It’s clean, but still very marginal.
After that, the swell drops off to nearly nothing, with heights of 0.7ft to 1ft for over a week. The wind is sometimes clean, but there’s just no energy. The surf is essentially flat from the 4th through to the 9th of August. On the 9th, Sunday morning goes glassy with a 0.7ft swell from the west at 9 seconds – you could maybe float around, but that’s it.
Then on the 10th of August, Monday morning, we see the biggest wave height in the whole run: 3ft from the WSW at 7 seconds. The combined energy hits 99 (still weak). The wind is a gentle cross-shore from the SSW at 9 mph, creating a slight cross-chop. It’s the best of a bad bunch, but still poor.
From the 11th onwards, it goes back to tiny, choppy, and poor. There are no standouts here, nothing that I’d recommend paddling out for. Honestly, this is a total blank run. Sometimes you get these quiet spells – it happens. Keep an eye on the forecasts, because they can change.
