Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Coombesgate Beach. It’s a beach and reef setup, fairly exposed to the swell, and we’re looking at a pretty lean run ahead. The water temp is sitting around 62°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
Thing is, there’s not a single good surf option in this whole 16-day window. We’re starting now with the first forecast on Friday, 3rd July, but it’s a no-go from the get-go. The swell is tiny, around 3ft from the west, and the wind is cross-onshore, making for poor, choppy conditions. That sets the tone for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a long gap where there’s just nothing worth paddling out for. The swell stays small—mostly 1ft to 2ft—through to mid-July, with cross-onshore winds or clean but gutless conditions. The combined wave energy is low, usually under 100, with a few days pushing into the low 100s (like 198 on Friday afternoon), but the quality is just not there.
The only time the swell picks up a little is around Thursday, 16th July afternoon, when we see 4ft from the west, but that has a short period of 7 seconds, and the wind is onshore, so it’s messy. Then on Saturday, 18th July morning, there’s a bit of a jump: the swell reaches 5ft from the west, with a period of 7 seconds. This one almost gets a nod, with combined energy hitting 267, but it’s still a “marginal” shout at best. The wind is light and cross-shore, which helps a bit, but the short period means the waves will be lumpy and not really holding shape. For the afternoon, it drops to 5ft with onshore wind again.
So, to sum it up: If you’re looking for a proper surf at Coombesgate, you’re out of luck. For a beach and reef break here, when it’s this small and choppy, it’s more of a kite-surfing setup than anything else. We’ll have to wait and see if the forecasts change, because it tends not to stay this flat forever.
