The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk this one out, mate. Looking at Coombesgate Beach for the next 16 days, it’s a real bummer. We’re looking at a 16-day stretch where there’s just no good surf on the table—nothing worth getting excited about. Most of it is poor conditions, tiny waves, or blown out.
Sunday the 2nd of August starts off with a pathetic 1ft swell from the WSW, period of 8 seconds, combined energy of 22. Offshore wind from the east at 12 mph in the morning, but the swell is so weak it’s not worth it. Afternoon goes cross-shore and messy.
Monday the 3rd is the only session that even sniffs rideable. Morning gives us a 3ft swell from the WSW, 9-second period, light easterly offshore at 6 mph. Combined energy hits 84—still weak—but it’s clean. The comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” That’s your best window, and it’s only for beginners on a small day. Afternoon goes onshore and dies.
From Tuesday the 4th onward, it’s a wasteland. Swell mostly under 3ft, periods short (5 to 9 seconds), wind onshore or cross-on from the west or northwest almost every day. There’s a spike on Wednesday the 5th with swell around 4ft to 5ft from the W, but period is a weak 7 seconds, and wind is howling onshore at 16 mph. Combined energy hits 152 and 184, but that’s all wind chop—better for kites than paddling.
The water temp is average for the time of year, nothing special. The rest of the days through Monday the 17th are tiny, weak, and ugly. Swell rarely above 2ft, period usually 5 to 8 seconds, energy in the teens to sixties. Not a single standout session in the bunch.
Bottom line: Coombesgate Beach is usually fairly consistent, but this 16-day window is a total dud. The only real hope is the morning of Monday the 3rd for a small, clean ride. Otherwise, keep the board in the car and wait for a change in the charts.
