Right, let's see what we've got. I'm Rusty.
Well, truth be told, looking at the 16-day window for Coombesgate Beach, it’s a pretty bleak run. There’s no surf worth paddling out for across the entire period, so we’re looking at a full gap from now until the forecast ends on the 20th of July. The combined swell energy barely breaks 92 (92), and mostly sits in the weak two-digit range, so the ocean just isn't firing.
For all that time, the swell height never gets above 3 ft (0.8m) and it’s coming in from the west or west-northwest, which isn’t the optimum direction for this beach-and-reef setup. The period is short, mostly 6 to 9 seconds, so it’s weak, mushy windswell with no punch.
The water temperature is sitting at 62°, which is a touch warmer than normal for the time of year, but that’s no consolation with these waves.
Even on the rare mornings when the wind goes glassy, like Wednesday the 8th of July, the swell is only 1 ft (0.4m) with a combined energy of 23. That’s flat, not surfable. Other days offering clean conditions, like Thursday the 9th of July or Friday the 10th of July, have the same problem: tiny, weak swell. When the wind does pick up it’s onshore or cross-onshore and choppy, making a mess of the already tiny waves.
To be honest, with such small, weak swell and weedy periods, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The truth is, for Coombesgate Beach, a blank run like this is pretty normal for this time of year. It tends not to stay this poor forever and forecasts can change, so don't lose all hope.
Rusty.
