The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, this time in feet and miles. Let’s dig in.
Honestly, this is a tough one. The only break we’ve got is Coombesgate Beach, and it’s not giving us anything to work with over this 16-day run. The water’s sitting at 66°F, which is a good 4°F warmer than usual for this time of year—that’s a weird little detail, but it's not helping the waves.
The wind is the real killer here. It’s onshore, cross-onshore, or just messy nearly every single day, and the swell is tiny. We start on Sunday the 6th with waves around 2 feet from the west, but the wind is cross-off or side-shore, and the energy is barely there at 62 and 48. Not worth paddling out.
There are a few days with more size. Monday the 7th afternoon has waves around 5 feet from the west with a 13-second period and moderate energy (848), but a fresh cross-onshore breeze makes it lumpy and ugly. Tuesday the 8th has 5 to 6 feet from the west, but it's onshore all day with a fresh breeze. Every single entry from the 6th all the way to the 21st says “poor surf conditions.” No clean morning glass-offs, no light offshore winds. Nothing.
The biggest swell hits Monday the 21st of September afternoon, with waves around 8 feet from the west-southwest, but a short 8-second period and strong energy at 644. The wind is cross-onshore with a fresh breeze, so it’s going to be a lumpy, blown-out mess. That’s expert-only size, and with that wind, it’s just ugly. Honestly, it looks more like a kitesurfing day than a surfing one.
Bottom line: over the next 16 days, there’s nothing to get excited about. A blank stretch like this happens here now and then when the wind pattern locks in onshore. Keep the board waxed and wait for a change in the forecast.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Coombesgate Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
