Alright, gather 'round. Rusty here. Let's be honest, the next couple weeks at Coombesgate Beach are looking dead flat. No two ways about it.
The pattern is a long, boring spell of nothing. From now, starting Wednesday, July 8th, all the way through to Wednesday, July 22nd, the surf is basically flat. You're looking at ankle-slashers and knee-high nothing for nearly two weeks. There's no energy in the water – the combined swell energy barely cracks double figures (36). The water's about 63°, which is a touch warmer than normal, so at least you won't freeze while you stare at a flat ocean.
For the first week, Wednesday the 8th through Tuesday the 14th, it's a total loss. The swell is hanging between 0.3ft and 2ft, with a short period of 8 to 9 seconds, meaning it's weak and gutless. There's a glimmer on the morning of Thursday the 9th with the wind going glassy from the northwest, but with a 2ft, 10-second swell, it's just not enough to paddle for. The winds are variable, mostly cross-off or onshore, but it doesn't matter because there's no surf.
From Wednesday the 15th through Wednesday the 22nd, it's more of the same: dribbly 0.3ft to 1ft waves. The combined energy stays well under 30. There's a cleaner moment on Saturday the 18th afternoon with a light east-northeast cross-off, but 0.7ft of swell is just not surfable.
Finally, things might try to kick off on Thursday, July 23rd. The swell jumps to 5ft in the morning with a short, punchy 6-second period from the west-southwest. That's still poor for a beach break, but the combined energy finally hits a moderate level at 207. The problem? The wind is onshore and strong from the southwest at 22 mph, making it lumpy. By the afternoon, the swell builds to 7ft with a 7-second period and the wind cranks up to 28 mph from the southwest. The combined swell energy hits 456. That's serious energy, but for all the wrong reasons. At a beach and reef setup like Coombesgate, a short-period, 7ft swell with a "strong cross-onshore and messy" wind is going to be a complete mess. That's not for beginners, and for experts, it's going to be a battle just to get out back. The short period and strong onshore wind from the southwest will make for some ugly surf. That Thursday the 23rd looks way more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. It's not our day.
So, no standouts. The first surf recommendation doesn't come until Thursday the 23rd, but the quality is poor. Just gotta wait for a better window.
Rusty.
