Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up for our local stretch.
Straight up, this is a tough period for us. We’re looking at a solid 16-day run, but there’s not a single solid session in the mix. The whole forecast is a write-off for decent waves. We’ve got nearly two weeks of tiny, weak surf with poor conditions, so don’t bother waxing up just yet. The first real bump in size doesn’t arrive until Saturday, 19th July, and even then it comes with messy winds.
For the first week and a half, Coombesgate Beach is serving up nothing but knee-high dribble. Swell heights hang around 1 ft to 2 ft from the west, with combined energy mostly under 60 (44 on Monday morning, 58 on Friday), which is about as weak as it gets. The wind is all over the place too – cross-offshore on Friday morning (25 km/h from the east) keeps it clean, but with barely any swell, it’s a lake out there. On Wednesday morning, 8th July, we get a short moment of glassy conditions, but with only 1 ft of swell and combined energy at 23, it’s not worth a paddle.
We finally see some size kick in on Saturday morning, 18th July, with 5 ft from the west, but the energy jumps to 161, which is moderate. The problem? The wind is a fresh cross-onshore at 30 km/h from the NNW, making it choppy and lumpy. Not great for a fun ride. The biggest day is Sunday, 19th July, with 6 ft swell from the WNW and combined energy hitting 325. That’s the most power we see, but again, it’s ruined by a moderate cross-onshore breeze. At 6 ft, this is getting solid for beginners, and with the chop, it’s really only going to appeal to experienced surfers who don’t mind a battle. The period is short (7 seconds), so the waves will be fat and crumbly. With these conditions and a beach-and-reef setup, this looks more interesting for the kite surfers than for us paddlers.
Honestly, there’s no standout here. If I had to pick the least ugly option, maybe the weekend of 19th July offers the most swell, but the wind kills it. Keep the boards in the shed for now.
