The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be honest, this 16-day window for Coombesgate Beach is tough sleddin'. We've got a long stretch of poor conditions ahead before anything even approaches rideable. The first real chance for a wave comes well into the second week, and even then, it's nothing to write home about.
Right out of the gate, Friday the 11th has some west swell showing 4 ft with a 9-second period and moderate energy (300), but it's blown out by onshore winds all day. Nothing doing. This grim pattern holds through the weekend, the start of the next week, and right through the middle of the month. We're looking at a week plus of messy, choppy, or just flat conditions with either onshore or cross-shore winds ruining any shape the small swells try to offer. Water temp is 65°, which is *much warmer than normal* for this time of year—over 3° warmer than average—so at least the water will be nice for the wait.
Things finally shift on Saturday the 19th. We get a morning of clean conditions with a light offshore breeze from the SE. The swell is small, just 3 ft from the west with a short period, and weak energy (88). It's surfable, but only just. The afternoon picks up a little, with 4 ft from the west, still clean and offshore from the east, and energy bumps up to moderate (121). This is your best bet of the whole period, but it's still ordinary. It's clean and small enough for a beginner to have a splash.
Sunday the 20th looks very similar. A clean, moderate offshore wind again, swell at 3 ft from the west with a long period of 10 seconds (showing groundswell character), and nice looking energy figures (190 in the morning, 202 in the afternoon). The spot is a beach and reef, so that longer period swell might offer a bit more shape.
After that, it fades again. Monday the 21st drops off, and the final days of the outlook are back to small, blown-out, or just weak. The 25th sees a bigger energy reading (201) with a 13-second period from the west, but it's pinned by a strong, messy cross-shore wind. The combined swell energy there is moderate (201), but the wind just ruins it.
So, bottom line: the standout window is Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th. It's clean, small, and mellow. Not a classic by any stretch, but it's the only time the stars even partially align. And hey, it’s bound to change, the long-range stuff is always a bit of a gamble.
Stay patient,
Rusty
