The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin'.
Honestly, for the next 16 days, Coombesgate Beach is not playing ball at all. We're looking at a long, dry spell with virtually nothing worth paddling out for. The entire 16-day window is pretty much a bust for decent surf. Every single day gets slapped with a zero from me. The combined swell energy is tiny for most of it, like 7 to 29 (weak energy) for the first week. There's a little bump in energy around the 26th of July with a reading of 216 (moderate energy) and a 4.9ft swell, but the winds are a fresh onshore breeze, making it a messy, poor quality affair. You'd be better off on a kite.
There's a brief moment on the 28th of July where the wind goes glassy in the morning, with a light offshore breeze and a combined energy of only 28 (weak energy). But the swell is a tiny 2.0ft from the west with a short 6-second period. It's clean but there's just no power.
A few spots later in the run, like the 31st of July and the 1st of August, offer some clean conditions with cross-offshore winds, but again the swell is minimal, barely 1.6ft to 1.0ft. The combined energy is in the teens and twenties (weak energy). It's a lot of nothing.
Then, on the 3rd of August, things get a little weird. The morning shows a fresh offshore wind from the east and a 2.6ft swell from the WSW with an 8-second period and a combined energy of 76 (weak energy). The afternoon has glassy conditions with the same 2.6ft swell but a combined energy of 127 (moderate energy). It’s surfable but very ordinary. That’s the best the entire window has to offer, but it’s nothing to write home about. For a spot that is a beach and reef break that is 'fairly consistent', this is a very quiet period.
The entire two weeks is a write-off. The water is much warmer than normal for the time of year at 65.3°, but that doesn't help the wave count. Sorry folks, put the boards away.
