The Lowdown

Right then, let's take a look at what's on the cards for our local stretch. Honestly, I've gotta be straight with you—looking at the whole 16-day window, it's a tough watch. There’s not a single standout session in there. The whole period is plagued by poor surf conditions, so we're staring down the barrel of a long, quiet spell. From now all the way through to the end of the month, don't expect anything rideable.

Let's start at Coombesgate Beach. The water temp is sitting at 65°, which is a huge 5° warmer than normal for this time of year—that's really unusual, feels like a late summer holdover. But that's where the good news ends.

Sunday the 13th kicks off with a weak 4 ft west swell, but it's a cross-onshore mess from the WSW at 25 km/h, and the wave comment says it all: poor. The combined energy is only 326, which is moderate, but the wind is just wrecking any chance of a wave. The rest of the first week doesn’t get any better. We see some swell bumps, like Wednesday the 16th with a 6 ft west swell and a stronger combined energy of 602, but it’s blown out by a fresh onshore wind. That one's a kite-surfing setup, not a paddle-surfing one. A lot of the swells here have a short period of 7 seconds, which means weak, crumbly waves even if the wind played ball, which it doesn't.

There is a brief flicker of hope on Thursday the 24th and Friday the 25th. The wind finally turns offshore from the east, giving us clean conditions. But the swell is tiny—only 2 ft and dropping to 0.7 ft—with barely any energy (19 combined energy). It’s a flat spell with a pretty face. Not worth the drive.

Bottom line: there are zero sessions to recommend. When the wind is good, there’s no swell. When there’s a bit of size, the wind is onshore and the quality is poor. It’s a classic autumn blank run. The only thing to do is keep an eye on the forecast; these quiet runs don’t last forever.

Stay patient.
Rusty.
