Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a proper look at what Coombesgate Beach has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the first week and a half is looking pretty grim. There's nothing worth paddling out for until well into the second week. We're looking at a proper dry spell, a gap of about ten days where the surf is just too small and messy. The water’s currently sitting at 62°, which is a touch warmer than normal for the time of year, but you won't be feeling it much with that weak, poor-quality slop.
The misery starts on Thursday afternoon, 2nd July, with onshore wind and a jumbled 5ft swell at a short 8-second period. Combined swell energy is weak at 297, but it's all wind-affected. The next few days just get smaller and more pathetic, with dropping swell heights and mostly cross-onshore breezes keeping things choppy. It's basically a write-off.
There’s a glimmer of hope come Monday afternoon, 13th July. We get a bit of a pulse – a 2ft west swell, but the period jumps up to a long 13 seconds, giving it some decent push. The combined energy hits 142, so there's moderate energy there, and we've got a clean, cross-off wind. The waves are surfable, but it’s nothing to write home about. That little spike fades quickly back into tiny, weak surf for the next few days.
The only real standout is Friday morning, 17th July. Swell jumps up to 4ft, but the period drops to a snappy 6 seconds, so you're looking at weak, crumbly waves. It does have a combined energy reading of 115, which is moderate, but it's a short-period wind swell and the morning sees light, clean winds. It'll be surfable but very ordinary. By Friday afternoon, the wind swings onshore and it's game over again.
So, for this run, there's no true classic session on the cards. That Monday 13th and Friday 17th are your best bets if you're desperate for a paddle, but keep expectations low. It’s a long stretch of nothing, then just a couple of average days.

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.
