The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what we've got coming up for Coombesgate Beach.
Honestly, the next week and a half is a real bummer. We're looking at a long, flat spell with hardly anything worth paddling out for. The water is currently sitting at a warm 65°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's about the only bright spot.
From Saturday afternoon the 25th of July right through to the morning of Monday the 3rd of August, every single session is either blown out by strong onshore winds or just has tiny, weak waves. You’re looking at a solid 10-day gap of nothing but closeouts and chop. The occasional bump of swell shows up, like a 6ft west swell on Sunday morning the 26th but it's getting hammered by a strong 25 mph onshore wind. Not surfable. The combined energy is moderate at times, hitting 297 (Sunday morning 26th) and 274 (Sunday afternoon 26th), but the wind just ruins it.
Now, if you’re desperate for a paddle, keep your eyes on Tuesday morning the 4th of August. Finally, the conditions line up. We’ve got a glassy morning with a slight air, and a small but clean 3ft WSW swell. The combined energy is a weak 92, so it's small, but with glassy conditions, it's your best chance for a few grovelly rides. The break is a beach and reef setup, so look for corners on the reef if the swell angle lines up. This is the one true standout in the whole outlook, but it's still pretty ordinary.
After that, the wind swings back onshore and we’re back to tiny dribble. Then around Sunday the 9th of August, another pulse of west swell shows up, 5ft on the Sunday afternoon with moderate combined energy of 226, but again, it's under a moderate to fresh onshore wind, so don't get your hopes up for quality.
Honestly, for this 16-day window, Coombesgate is a write-off for anything decent. Kite surfers might find a window with the stronger winds and small waves, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a tough run.
Rusty.
