The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the forecast for Coombesgate Beach.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you—this 16-day window is a tough one. We’re looking at a long stretch of mostly small, weak, and messy conditions. There’s a gap of about a week at the start with nothing worth getting wet for, and honestly, the whole run is pretty grim. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

Let’s get into it. The first few days are a write-off. Saturday the 1st kicks off with a tiny 2ft W swell at 5 seconds, and a cross-on breeze. That’s just a dribble with wind chop. Sunday the 2nd is even smaller at 1ft, and while the wind is offshore in the morning, the swell is so weak it’s not worth the wetsuit. The combined energy is laughable, sitting at 22.

We finally see a glimmer on Monday the 3rd. The morning has a glassy 2ft WSW swell at 9 seconds. The energy bumps up to 79, and the conditions are clean. It’s still tiny, but it’s the best surf on offer all week. Don’t expect much, but for a log or a foamy, it might be worth a paddle.

Then it’s back to the doldrums. Tuesday the 4th sees a 3ft swell, but it’s a short-period 7 seconds with a nasty cross-onshore wind. The wind just gets stronger as we go, with 18 mph cross-onshore winds by Wednesday the 5th, making a 4ft and 4ft swell a complete mess. The energy is moderate (120 to 176) but it’s all whitewash. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

We get a tiny, clean little 0.7ft W swell on Friday the 7th with a light offshore, but it’s barely a ripple. The 9-second period is nice, but there’s just no water moving.

The second week doesn’t get much better. The standout, if you can call it that, is Tuesday the 11th. The morning is glassy with a 1ft W swell at 10 seconds. The energy is still only 48, so it’s weak. But then the afternoon brings a 5ft WSW swell at 10 seconds with a combined energy of 370—that’s moderate-strong energy. The problem is the wind goes onshore and the ‘poor surf conditions’ label is all over it. It’s a total tease.

Wednesday the 12th has a 4ft to 4ft W swell with moderate energy, but the wind is cross or cross-onshore, and the quality is just not there. The rest of the week is a wind-blown disaster with strong breezes and lumpy, messy conditions. By Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th, we’re looking at 25 mph winds and choppy, dangerous surf.

Honestly, the only thing I can point to as a potential session is that glassy Monday the 3rd morning. It’s small, it’s clean, and it’s the best of a bad bunch. Everything else is a pass. The long-range stuff on the 11th and 12th has more energy, but the wind and quality just aren’t there. It’s a rough forecast.

Rusty out.

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.

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.
