The Lowdown
Ah, mate, I gotta be straight with you – Coombesgate Beach is looking flat as a pancake for the entire 16-day window. No good surf options at all, and that’s a real bummer because this place is usually fairly consistent for a beginner-friendly beach and reef. But right now, the swell is tiny, the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the whole thing just ain’t firing.
From Monday 20 July right through to Tuesday 4 August, every single check shows poor surf conditions. The waves barely scrape 0.3 ft to 0.7 ft for the first few days, then we get a little bump on Sunday 26 July with 6 ft swell – but that’s from the west, not the ideal WNW, and the wind is a moderate cross-onshore at 12 mph, so it’s gonna be choppy and messy. The combined energy only reaches 348 (moderate) that day, but the quality is still rated poor. The rest of the period, the swell stays under 4 ft, with short periods of 4 to 7 seconds, and the wind keeps blowing onshore, making it even worse.
Honestly, with the wind direction and size, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The water temp? Not sure, but it’s probably average for the time of year. For now, leave the board at home – maybe check back in a few days, because forecasts can change. But this run is a long one.
