The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at the surf ahead for Coombesgate Beach.
To be brutally honest, the next couple of weeks look pretty tough for paddle surfing. We've got a long stretch of poor conditions coming, with only one real window that’s worth getting excited about.
Let's start with the bad news. From now, Sunday the 6th, all the way through to Saturday the 19th of September, it's pretty much a write-off. The waves that do show up are either too small, blown out by strong onshore winds, or just messy. You’ll see a bit of size push through on Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th with swell around 5ft to 7ft, but it’s coming with a stiff onshore breeze and short, weak periods. That’s a combo for chopped-out, ugly surf. For a beach and reef setup like this, with that much wind and swell, it honestly looks more interesting for the kite surfers than us paddle guys. The combined energy does hit some decent numbers, like 865 on Monday afternoon (7th), but it's all wasted by the wind.
The one bright spot in the whole forecast is Sunday the 20th of September. That’s our standout. We’ve got a clean 6ft west swell rolling in, and the wind is forecast to be light and offshore from the east-southeast. That’s glassy conditions, which is exactly what you want. The period on the afternoon session bumps up to 11 seconds, giving the waves a bit more shape and punch. The combined energy hits a solid 683, so there’s proper power in the water. This is a classic clean-offshore day, and it's the best we've got on offer. Keep in mind, it can get busy here at times, so expect some company if you’re heading out. The water is sitting at 66°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might be able to get away with a thinner suit.
Monday the 21st still has clean offshore wind, but the swell drops right back to around 3ft, so the energy will be pretty weak. Surfable, but not a patch on the day before.
So, there you have it. A long dry spell, but a golden Sunday on the 20th to aim for. Lock it in.
Rusty.
