The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Coombesgate Beach for the next couple of weeks.

Got to be honest, this is a rough one. The only spot in the mix is Coombesgate Beach, and it’s not serving up anything worth getting wet for. There’s a big dry spell from the start, with nothing good on the horizon.

We start on Tuesday, 8th September, with a 6ft swell from the west, but a messy cross-onshore wind at 15 mph just chops it all up. The water temp is 66°F, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, so you won’t freeze, but the surf is hopeless. The combined energy is moderate (481), but it’s all wasted with that wind. That afternoon, the wind cranks up to 22 mph straight onshore, making it even worse.

Wednesday, 9th September, the swell drops to 4ft, but the cross-onshore wind is still there, keeping it choppy and poor. The energy drops to moderate (219), but it’s still not clean. Thursday morning, 10th September, the swell collapses to just 1ft, and while the wind is a clean cross-off, the swell is too small to do anything with. The energy is weak (38). The afternoon brings a lumpy 4ft with a fresh cross-shore wind, but it’s a 6-second period, so it’s just weak and bumpy.

Friday, 11th September, we get a 5ft west swell, but again, cross-onshore winds ruin it. The energy is moderate (325), but it’s choppy. Saturday, 12th September, is tiny and weak. Sunday, 13th September, shows a 5ft west swell with moderate energy (283), but the cross-onshore wind is back, making it choppy again.

From Monday, 14th September, onward, the swell is tiny, mostly under 3ft, and the winds are messy. The only bright spot is the clean conditions from Thursday, 17th September, onward, but the swell is just too small—1ft to 2ft—to be rideable. The combined energy is weak, mostly under 100, though it gets into moderate range (120-214) on a few days with longer periods (11-13 seconds), but the swell is too small to make use of it.

Look, there’s no standout session here. The setups are more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, given the wind and swell combo. It’s a real blank run, and for this area, that’s not unusual. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, you’re better off doing something else.

Rusty.

Information about the Coombesgate Beach Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Coombesgate Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Coombesgate Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Coombesgate Beach surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Coombesgate Beach) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
