The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here.
It’s a bit of a flat run ahead for Coombesgate Beach. The whole 16-day window is lookin’ pretty ordinary, with no real standouts—a lot of poor surf conditions and dodgy winds keepin’ things messy. The first proper surfable recommendation doesn’t pop up until Sunday morning, the 6th of September, but even that’s only a marginal call.
Right now through the rest of August and the first few days of September, it’s a write-off. Saturday the 29th kicks off with light rain and a cross-off breeze, but the swell’s tiny at 3ft from the WSW with a short 6-second period (combined energy just 46). Very weak energy, not worth paddlin’ for. Sunday the 30th sees a bit more size—up to 5ft Sunday morning and 6ft in the arvo—but the wind’s cross-on or cross-off, and the energy bumps up to 288 and 376 (moderate). Still, conditions are labelled poor across the board. Monday the 31st gets a bigger 7ft wave from the W in the morning (810 energy), but it’s onshore and the swell’s only 9 seconds. Too messy, and with that size, it’s more for experienced surfers, though the onshore wind’s gonna chop it up. The rest of that week stays on the poor side, with cross-on winds and lumpy seas.
Come Sunday the 6th of September, there’s a glimmer—morning brings a 4ft swell from the WSW, 9-second period, and a gentle cross-shore breeze. The energy’s moderate at 273, and it’s the only session markin’ a marginal surf forecast. Still nothin’ to get excited about, but maybe the cleanest option in the whole window. After that, it’s back to poor surf with strong winds and messy conditions through to the 13th.
Coombesgate Beach is a beach and reef setup, fairly exposed to the WNW, so it can handle a bit of west swell. But the wind just won’t play ball—mostly cross-on or onshore, especially in the afternoons. Crowds are sometimes a factor here, but with this outlook, you’d be lucky to see a handful of die-hards.
In short, there is no standout session. The best you’re lookin’ at is a marginal Sunday morning on the 6th with clean-ish conditions, but don’t expect much. The long-range stuff after that is all poor—nothin’ to plan a paddle around.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Coombesgate Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
