The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s shaking for Coombesgate Beach.
Gotta be straight—this forecast is a tough one to swallow. The first week is a total washout. From Sunday the 26th of July through the end of the month, there’s nothing worth wetting your wetsuit for. Onshore winds, messy surf, and waves that look more like washing machine chop. You’re looking at a solid 7-day gap before anything decent pops up.
That first real chance comes on Sunday morning, the 2nd of August. That’s the standout window. Water temp is a balmy 66°, and it’s running a full 5° warmer than usual for the season—leave the thick rubber at home. The morning is glassy, with a light breeze from the east. We’ve got a 3ft west-southwest groundswell rolling in with a 9-second period and a combined energy reading of 189—moderate energy, enough for a few fun little runners. It’s a beach-and-reef setup, so that west-southwest swell should wrap in okay for a beginner-friendly wave. But don’t sleep in—the afternoon wind swings onshore from the west and kills it. Crowds can pop up sometimes, so you might see a few heads in the water.
That little window is all we get. The second week sees some bigger pulses, but the wind doesn’t cooperate. By Friday the 7th of August, the swell ramps up to 10ft from the west with a 10-second period and a massive combined energy of 1609—that’s extremely powerful surf. But it’s blown out by a fresh cross-onshore breeze. That kind of size and chop is more appealing for kite surfing than a clean paddle. Way too big and messy for most. That stormy mess hangs into Saturday, dropping to 6ft but still howling from the north-northwest.
Look, besides that one glassy morning on the 2nd of August, this 16-day stretch is grim. Sometimes the ocean just won’t play ball. Keep the board in the rack and wait for better days.
Rusty.
