The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for this upcoming stretch. To be straight with you, there’s a huge gap at the start of this forecast period. We’ve got nothing really worth paddling out for until the 8th of August. That’s a solid two-week dry spell where the surf is just flat or blown out. Don’t hold your breath for the first week of August – it’s a real bust.
So, let’s look at the one true standout on the horizon. The morning of Saturday, the 8th of August, is your best bet by a long shot. Coombesgate Beach is a beach and reef setup, and it’s looking like a proper little session. The swell is coming in from the WSW at around 8ft. That’s a solid size, definitely pushing into the zone where it’s better for the experienced crew – beginners might find it a bit much.
The wind is light from the ENE, which is a clean offshore wind, and the forecast says it’s clean. The combined swell energy is strong, hitting 846. The water is much warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 66°F, which is a nice bonus. The swell is a groundswell with a period of 9 seconds, which is decent, but it’s not a super long period, so it should wrap into the beach and reef okay. Keep in mind, this spot is fairly consistent, but it can get crowded sometimes, so get there early.
After that, the rest of the week is a letdown. The afternoon of the 8th gets onshore and messy, and the 9th and 10th of August are just a write-off with strong winds and rain. This is a long-range call, so the 8th is promising, but you know how it goes – keep an eye on it.
Alright, that’s the skinny. Rusty, signing off.
