The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the Coombesgate Beach region over the next couple of weeks.
Well, you’re gonna need some patience, because the start of this forecast is a real flat spell. The first solid week of the outlook is a write-off, I’m sorry to say. There is barely a ripple to be found from the 18th of July right through to the end of the month. It’s a long, dry gap with very little swell energy on offer, and it’s fair to say the best part of the first week is a total no-go for anything resembling a proper surf.
The first real taste of something remotely promising doesn’t show up until the 27th of July, Monday morning. We finally see a pulse of modest energy coming through with a 5ft swell from the WSW, but the period is short at 6 seconds, and the wind is onshore from the WNW at 12 mph. The combined energy is a moderate 170 but the conditions are still described as poor. It’s really not anything to get excited about, and the same goes for the following days. The swell does start to build through the 30th of July, Thursday, with a 6ft swell from the WSW pushing the combined energy up to 272. Still, the wind is a cross-onshore, making things choppy.
The only standout window in the entire 16 days is likely the 31st of July, Friday morning. We see a 7ft groundswell from the west with an 8-second period, bringing the combined energy to a strong 441. The wind is from the WSW at a gentle 9 mph, which is a light cross-onshore breeze. For a beach and reef setup like Coombesgate Beach, this is a bit on the bigger side and will be a challenging one for beginners. It’s the best the run has to offer, but it’s no classic. The water is much warmer than normal for this time of year, coming in at 64°F.
After that, the energy drops back down through the 1st and 2nd of August, with fresh cross-onshore winds making things lumpy and messy again. All in all, it’s a pretty poor run. If you’re desperate for a paddle, the 31st of July morning is your best bet, but keep your expectations in check.
Rusty.
