The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one to write. Looking at the whole 16-day window for Coombesgate Beach, and I’m calling it now: there’s nothing on the menu. Not a single session worth paddling out for. The whole run is a write-off.
The first sniff of swell comes in on Friday the 4th of September, with a 6ft west swell, but it’s getting hammered by a 22 mph onshore wind. The water temp is sitting at 66°F, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing that’s pleasant. The combined energy is moderate at 462 but the wind is just ruining it.
Saturday the 5th drops to 4ft, still onshore, still messy. Sunday the 6th is tiny and clean in the morning with a light cross-off breeze, but at 2ft there’s nothing to ride. The swell tries to kick again on Monday the 7th with a 6ft west swell and a 13-second period, and the combined energy jumps to a strong 1001, but it’s accompanied by a 16 mph onshore wind. By the afternoon it’s a lumpy 7ft with 22 mph winds. That’s not surf, that’s a washing machine.
The rest of the week is the same story. Tuesday the 8th, Wednesday the 9th, Thursday the 10th – all fresh onshore winds, all messy, all poor. The swell hangs around 5ft to 7ft but the wind never lets up. Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th are still onshore and choppy. By Sunday the 13th it’s glassy clean again but the swell has dropped to 1ft.
From Monday the 14th right through to Saturday the 19th of September, the swell bottoms out under 1.0ft. There’s a brief moment on Friday the 18th in the morning with glassy conditions and a 1.0ft west swell, but at that size you’re just floating. The period taps out at 16 seconds on Saturday the 19th afternoon, but with only 0.3ft of swell, it’s a lake.
Honestly, this is a dead run. No standouts, no hidden gems, no hope. Sometimes it goes like this at Coombesgate. The conditions just never lined up. If you want to get wet, you’re better off with a kite than a paddle board through most of the first week, because the wind is strong and consistent, but the waves are a mess. Forecasts can change, but for now, keep your gear in the shed.
Rusty.

Information about the Coombesgate Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Coombesgate Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Coombesgate Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Coombesgate Beach surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Coombesgate Beach) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Coombesgate Beach may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
