The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s comin’ down the line for Coombesgate Beach.
Honestly, the next couple of weeks are a real mixed bag, and for the most part, it’s a tough stretch. The first week is a write-off. We’re talking a full seven days of onshore wind and tiny, weak swell. From Saturday the 25th until Friday the 31st, it’s just a grind. The swell is small, the period is short, and the wind is mostly on it or cross-on. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing to write home about. You’d be fighting a losing battle trying to get a decent wave out there.
There’s a bit of a flicker on the 31st of July, Friday afternoon, with a clean cross-off wind and a 4ft swell from the southwest, but it’s still a tough call. The real story, though, is that we have to wait a full week for anything that gets the heart beating.
Now, the standout window. It’s a long-range promise, but it’s the only one worth getting excited about. Wednesday morning, the 5th of August. That’s the one. We’re looking at an 8ft swell rolling in from the west-southwest, and the wind is due to go dead calm, glassy. The combined energy of all swells directed here is a huge 1182, so there’s serious power in the water. That’s a big, powerful groundswell. For a beach and reef setup like Coombesgate, that long period (9 seconds) will mean some proper lines, but it might also be a bit too straight for the banks. The morning session is going to be the pick, with those glassy conditions making for a dream session. This is expert territory at that size, no question. The afternoon is a different story though, with the wind shifting cross-on and the energy even higher at 1306, but it’s going to be messy.
So, if you’re a beginner, this is not your window. The water is about average for the time of year. You’ll be looking at a long, dry spell. But for the experienced crew, circle the 5th of August on your calendar. That Wednesday morning is the only true standout. The rest of the time, it’s a waiting game. The forecast can change, but right now, it’s a one-morning wonder.
Rusty.
