Right then, let's have a look at what's on offer for the next couple of weeks around Coombesgate Beach. I gotta be straight with you—for the next ten days, we're in a proper flat spell. There's nothing that's going to get your heart pumping until Friday, July 17th, so you're looking at a long, dry wait.
The water temperature is sitting at a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, about 62°, so it'll feel pleasant enough when you do get in.
On Friday the 17th, there’s a bit of a pulse. We’re looking at clean conditions with a light breeze and a solid 5ft swell from the west. The combined energy is ramping up to 347 (moderate wave energy), and the period is a standard 9 seconds. That morning session is the standout—the winds are offshore from the northeast and the surf is clean. It’s the best we’ve got all week, but heads up, with a swell that size it's not for the beginners; it’s better suited for the experienced crew.
The following Saturday the 18th, the swell hangs in there around 5ft from the west-southwest, but the energy is still solid at 208 (moderate wave energy). The morning is glassy with a chop from the north-northwest—that’ll be your cleanest window, but the waves will be a bit ordinary. By the afternoon, it gets blown out with onshore winds and bumps up to 6ft, which is getting too big for learners.
Then on Monday the 20th, the swell really starts to push through. We've got 8ft from the west with a period of 8 seconds and the combined energy hits 652 (strong wave energy). The morning is clean with cross-offshore winds, but at that size, this is strictly expert territory. It’s a powerful, thumping swell.
If you can wait, the real highlight looks like Tuesday the 21st of July. The morning shows a very good surf forecast: 8ft from the west, combined energy at 720 (strong wave energy), and light cross-offshore winds from the east-northeast keeping it clean. This one has power and shape, but again, it's a big-wave day. Crowds are possible here, so get in early if you've got the skills.
So, to sum it up: the first week and a half is a complete washout. The only real standouts are the mornings of the 17th and the 21st. The 21st edges it for size and quality, but both are for the brave.

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.
