The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Coombesgate Beach over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a tough run ahead. The water temp is sitting at 67°, which is a solid 6° warmer than usual for this time of year—feels like a late summer anomaly, but that’s about the only upside. The swell energy is all over the place, but the wind just won’t play ball for clean, quality surf.
First up, Friday 28 August: there’s a small 4ft swell from the WSW with a short 5-second period and weak energy (103). The problem is a howling 22 mph SW cross-on wind. It’s a write-off.
Saturday 29 August morning is a bit cleaner with light rain and a 3ft SW swell, 6-second period, and cross-off wind from the SSE at 19 mph, but the energy is low (95). The afternoon sees a wind swing onshore from the W at 16 mph with a 3ft WSW swell and a slightly better 8-second period (130 energy), but it’s still not good.
Sunday 30 August brings a bit more size—5ft to 5ft from the WSW, with periods up to 9 seconds. The morning is cross-shore and choppy (301 energy), but the afternoon is cleaner with cross-off wind from the S at 19 mph and 5ft swell (550 energy). It’s still rated as poor, though.
Monday 31 August pumps up to 7ft from the W with a 9-second period and solid energy (685) but it’s onshore from the WNW at 19 mph, so lumpy and messy.
The first week of September is more of the same: small waves, onshore or cross-onshore wind, and all ratings at zero. The only standout in the whole 16-day window comes Tuesday 8 September morning. We’ve got a big 16ft swell from the W with a long 11-second period and massive wave energy (5198). The wind is onshore from the W at 22 mph, but that is way too big for anyone except absolute experts. The wave energy is enormous (6083 in the afternoon), but it’s a beast. If you are a big-wave charger, that’s your window, but it’s a dangerous day for any punter. By Wednesday 9 September morning it drops back to 6ft (767 energy) with light onshore wind from the W at 9 mph—probably the best shot at a clean wave, but the rating is only marginal.
The rest of the second week fades into tiny 2ft to 3ft leftovers with strong winds. All in all, it’s a bleak run with no real standout sessions for the average surfer. Save your energy for a better forecast.

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.
