The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down. The next couple of weeks start off with a flat spell, a real dry patch for a few days. The first real chance of a wave comes around the 16th of September, so we’re waiting a while.
The first one to highlight is Wednesday the 16th of September at Coombesgate Beach, a beach and reef setup that breaks fairly often. The water is much warmer than usual for this time of year, around 66°F, which is nice. The swell is a chunky 10ft from the west, with a period of 9 seconds. That’s a lot of energy, measuring at 1357 – that’s powerful stuff. The wind is offshore (WNW), so it’ll be clean, but this is a big wave. Over 8ft, it’s expert territory. Beginners, stay on the sand. The size and power is the main story here. This is a late afternoon session.
Next up, Thursday morning, the 17th of September. The swell drops a bit to 7ft from the west, still with a 9-second period. The energy is still strong at 607, and we’ve got a light cross-shore wind from the SW. This is a better size for strong intermediates, but it’s still a proper day. The crowds at Coombesgate can be “sometimes” busy, so you might see a few others out.
Finally, Friday morning, the 18th of September offers another window. The swell is back up to 8ft from the west, with an 8-second period and energy of 707. The wind is a cross-offshore from the SSW, which means clean conditions. This is another one for the experienced surfers, as it’s pushing the limit for most.
So, the only real action is that cluster around the 16th, 17th, and 18th of September. The rest of the two weeks is mostly small, weak, or messy. It’s a long wait, but there are a couple of days for the crew who are ready for it.
Rusty.

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.
