The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the 16-day run. Honest truth? Almost all of it is a washout.
We’re staring at a big hole with nothing rideable from now, right through until the afternoon of Monday, September 7th. That’s a solid week-plus of garbage.
The first week is just rough. Cross-onshore winds, lumpy chop, and even when the wave energy gets moderate (up to about 640 on August 31st with a 1.8m face), it’s all junk. Even a 1.9m pulse on Friday the 4th is ruined by strong wind. It’s a dead zone.
The one and only real highlight hits on Monday afternoon, September 7th at Coombesgate Beach (beach and reef). The wind dies to glassy – completely calm – and a 1.7m west swell with a 9-second period shows up. The combined swell energy sits at a moderate 439. That’s the cleanest, most rideable it gets. And it’s a notable break after all that crap. The water is way warmer than average for this time of year, which is a weird plus.
The morning of that same day (September 7th) throws a much bigger 3.0m swell from the west with energy at 1633, but that’s only for experts and the wind is light cross-onshore. Not clean. The late afternoon glass-off is the real deal.
After that, it’s messy again. A 1.0m, 12-second period swell on Tuesday the 8th of September is worth a look, but the wind is light cross-onshore. It’s okay, not special.
If you want a wave that’s worth paddling out for, forget everything else and point your car at Coombesgate for that late Monday session on the 7th of September. That’s your one shot.
Rusty.

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.
