The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. The surf outlook for Coombesgate Beach isn’t looking great for this 16-day window. Right now, and for a good long stretch, there’s barely a ripple to get excited about.
The whole period starts with a painful gap. There’s really nothing worth paddling out for until the morning of Saturday, July 26th. From the start on July 19th, we’re looking at a week of flatness or knee-high mush with poor surf conditions. The winds are mostly cross or onshore, and the swell is tiny. You’d be better off checking the tide pools.
The first real sign of life comes on the morning of Sunday, July 26th. The combined energy of all swells directed here hits 121 (moderate wave energy), which is the highest we’ll see. The swell is 4 ft from the west, with a period of 6 seconds. That’s a short period windswell, so it’ll be a bit bumpy and not the cleanest. The wind is onshore from the WNW at 12 mph, making it a bit messy. For a beginner-friendly beach and reef setup, this is the biggest wave day, but it’s not a standout. The water temperature is 65°F which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a thick wetsuit.
The other small bump is on the morning of Wednesday, July 29th. The swell height is 3 ft from the west, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is 89, which is still weak. The wind is a gentle cross-onshore from the WSW at 9 mph, so it’ll be fairly choppy. Not great, but it’s the next best after the 26th.
There’s nothing else that even comes close. The whole period after that drops back down to tiny surf. The swell direction is consistently from the west or northwest, which is the optimum direction for this break, but the size and period just aren't there. The crowd factor is “sometimes” here, but with conditions this poor, you won’t have to worry about company.
Honestly, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on most of these days, especially with the stronger onshore winds. But for a surf, you’re looking at a pretty blank run.
