The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. We’ve got a pretty bleak stretch ahead at Coombesgate Beach. The whole 16-day window is a write-off, plain and simple. There isn't a single moment where conditions come together for a decent paddle. The first seven days have a bit of size, but the wind is constantly messing it up—onshore, cross-onshore, lumpy, choppy. After that, the swell just dies. Don't hold your breath; this is one of those spells where the ocean just doesn't want to play ball.
Okay, let’s walk through it. Starting Monday the 7th, there's some pulse of swell around 5ft to 6ft from the west, with a moderate energy (807 to 1087), but it’s all blown out with strong cross-onshore winds. Tuesday the 8th keeps that 6ft waist-high plus swell, but again, the wind is on it or cross-on, making it messy. Wednesday the 9th sees it drop to 4ft and then 3ft, with still a cross-on breeze. By Thursday the 10th, we're down to knee-high slop with no energy (35) and a cross-shore wind—absolutely flat. There’s a tiny blip on Friday the 11th with 5ft from the WSW and moderate energy (318), but the wind is cross-shore and messy. Saturday and Sunday are small and choppy again.
From Monday the 14th right through to the end on Tuesday the 22nd, it’s a slow, painful fade. The swell drops below 3ft, the period gets short, and the wind stays rough or strong. A few days even see strong breeze or strong breeze winds making it look more like a kite-surfing session than a surf one. On the 22nd, a 0.3ft swell with a 16-second period rolls in, but with 28 mph cross-onshore winds, you’d be mad to get wet. Water temps are around 66°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but the wind makes it feel anything but inviting. So there you have it—sixteen days, zero surf. It’s a quiet patch, but this area can have blank runs like this.
Signing off, Rusty.
