The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I’ve got to be straight with you. Looking at the next 16 days at Coombesgate Beach, it’s a tough one. This is a beach and reef setup, a bit of a beginner zone, but the ocean isn’t giving us much to work with for a long stretch.
The first decent swell we see doesn’t show up until about a week and a half away, around the 5th and 6th of September. For over a week before that, it’s just flat or super weak, poor little waves.
Now, on the afternoon of Sunday, the 6th of September, things finally flip. The swell jumps to a solid 8ft out of the west, with a moderate wave energy (804). The wind is a gorgeous cross-offshore from the east-northeast, which will keep things clean. The water here is running at 66°F, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year – a real treat for the skin.
This is the clear standout. The swell is a bit on the big side, pushing into expert territory, and with a short period of 8 seconds, it’ll be a bit walled up and crumbly, not the kind of long, drawn-out line you get from a groundswell. But for power and punch, that’s the best on offer. The crowds can get on it sometimes, so be ready to share.
The next day, Monday the 7th, it drops back to 4ft from the west in the morning, still with offshore wind from the east-southeast. A bit more manageable for the average surfer, but the energy is much lower (284).
That’s it. A long, quiet spell, then a couple of days with a bit of grunt. If you can wait it out, the 6th is your day.
