The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the same outlook for Coombesgate Beach, but in feet and miles per hour.
Honestly, looking at the next 16 days, it’s a bleak picture. The vast majority of the time, the conditions are just plain ugly—lumpy, choppy, and blown out by cross-onshore winds. The water temp is 66°, which is about 5° warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s a real anomaly, feels like a warm bath.
From Tuesday the 1st right through to Thursday the 10th, it’s mostly a no-go. Winds are consistently onshore or cross-onshore from the WSW and SW, often blowing 12 to 22 mph, trashing the wave faces. The swell energy is mostly weak to moderate, not enough to overcome the wind.
There is one tiny glimmer of hope. Saturday morning, the 5th of September. The wind goes glassy, just 3 mph from the north, and the swell is a tiny 3ft from the west with a 9-second period. The combined energy is weak, but with glassy conditions, it’s the only time you’ll find a clean, rideable wave. It’s a beginner-friendly beach and reef, so grab a longboard and enjoy the peace. Crowds are only sometimes a problem here.
After that, the 14th of September shows a bit more size—5ft to 6ft from the west—but with a short 7-second period, the waves will be weak and messy. The winds are cross-offshore, keeping it clean, but the quality is just marginal.
The only real standout is Saturday morning, September 5th. It’s the only clean, glassy session in the whole forecast. The rest is a long, quiet stretch of poor surf. It’s a tough run, but that’s the way it goes sometimes. Keep your eyes on the wind.
Rusty.
