The Lowdown

Alright folks, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at the 16-day outlook for Coombesgate Beach. It's a beach and reef setup, fairly exposed to the swell, and it looks like we're in for a long wait before anything really gets going. The water's sitting at a balmy 64.6°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year.

Right now, through the end of July and into the first couple of days of August, it's a proper flat spell. We're looking at tiny waves, mostly under 1.6ft, and the wind is a mess. Plenty of onshore and cross-onshore winds in the 9 to 19 mph range, making for choppy, poor conditions. The energy is weak, with readings barely climbing into double digits (7 for Thursday afternoon, 9 for Friday morning). There's a brief moment on the morning of Tuesday the 28th with glassy conditions and a gentle cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is still only 1.0ft with a combined energy of just 12. It's a long, dry stretch.

Finally, around the 1st of August, the sea starts to bark. Saturday morning, the 1st, we see a solid 7.2ft swell from the west-southwest, with a period of 9 seconds and a good cross-offshore wind from the south. The energy jumps to 758 (moderate), and the conditions are clean. That afternoon, it gets even better: the swell holds at 9.8ft from the same direction, with glassy conditions and a combined energy of 1288 (strong). This is the standout for the whole period. This is a good size, so it's more for the experienced crew. The west-southwest direction is close to the optimum west-northwest, so it should wrap in nicely. Sunday morning, the 2nd, still has a decent 5.2ft swell with clean cross-offshore winds, but the energy drops to 404 (moderate), and the forecast is marginal. The rest of the outlook after that drops back into tiny, poor surf with strong cross-shore winds.

So, to be real with you, the first week and a bit is a total bust. The standout is clearly the 1st of August, starting with a solid morning and an epic afternoon session. After that, it fades again. Coombesgate Beach is a fairly consistent spot, so this blank run is a bit of a surprise, but it won't stay poor forever.

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.
