The Lowdown
Alright, crew, Rusty back again. Let me give you the same story in the old numbers. We’re looking at Coombesgate Beach and, man, it’s a quiet couple of weeks. It’s a beach and reef spot that gets a bit of exposure, but the incoming swell is mostly tiny and the wind isn't playing nice. The water temp is a balmy 64°F, which feels a little warmer than usual for this time of year.
The first bit of real hope doesn’t show up until Saturday, July 25th. After days of flat water, we see a small 3ft west swell with a combined energy of 54 (weak). But the wind is a moderate cross-onshore from the northwest at 16 mph. That’s going to make it choppy and lumpy. Not a clean ride there. The afternoon is an onshore mess at 19 mph.
Sunday the 26th keeps that struggling energy going. The swell drops to 2ft from the west, with an onshore wind at 6 mph in the morning. The combined energy is still weak at 49. It’s still going to be a messy battle against the breeze.
The only session that looks like it could be proper is the very last day, Friday, July 31st. Forecast shows a 3ft swell from the WSW with a combined energy reading of 128 (moderate). That’s a proper pulse of energy. The wind is light cross-shore from the north at 6 mph in the morning. That’s a winning combo for this break – clean lines and a bit of push. For a beginner-level wave, that 3ft is a great size. The afternoon wind swings onshore again at 16 mph, so it’s strictly a dawn patrol call. That Friday morning on the 31st is your one true standout. Everything else is just waiting.
Rusty.
