The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's talk about Coombesgate Beach in feet and miles per hour.
Look, it's a bit of a grim forecast to be honest. For the first week, there's swell – around 4-5 feet and waist to chest high – but the wind is a mess, mostly side-shore or onshore. That's gonna make for a choppy, bumpy session. The wave energy is low to moderate, so it's not just the wind; the waves don't have much punch. I wouldn't be rushing down for that.
But hold on. The 16th of September, Wednesday morning, gives us a clean break. A solid 5-foot swell from the west-southwest with a 20 mph offshore wind. The period is short at 6 seconds, but that offshore breeze will make it glassy. It's not classic, but it's the first real window we get.
The real gem, though, is the 19th of September – Saturday morning. We're looking at a small 2-foot swell from the west, but it's a long-period groundswell (11 seconds) with a light 6 mph offshore wind. The energy is moderate, and the conditions will be clean. For a break like this, the long period might make it a bit walled up, but with those clean, glassy conditions, it's your best bet for a fun, cruisy session on a log. That's your standout in the whole 16-day window. After that, we see another clean offshore window on the 23rd, but we're getting deep into the long-range there.

Information about the Coombesgate Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Coombesgate Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Coombesgate Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Coombesgate Beach surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Coombesgate Beach) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
