The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this forecast for Coombesgate Beach is a tough one. We’re looking at a 16-day window, and the honest truth is there are no good surf options on offer. The entire period is a write-off for quality waves, so you’re better off leaving the boards in the garage for the next couple of weeks.
We kick off on Tuesday, 1st September, with a weak 3ft swell out of the west, but a moderate cross-onshore breeze is already messing it up. The water here is much warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 66°, but that’s small comfort when the surf is this poor. The combined swell energy is weak (157) and the conditions are just choppy and ugly. This trend continues right through the first week – you’ll see a bit more size on Friday the 4th with a 6ft west swell, and even some solid energy readings (432) on Friday morning, but the wind is onshore and the whole thing is blown out. It’s just not surfable.
The following week stays in the same disappointing rut. By Monday the 7th, we get a long-period groundswell (11 seconds) pushing in at 5ft, and the energy jumps up to 721, but again, the wind is cross-onshore or onshore, tearing up any chance of a clean face. The setup here is a beach and reef, and with this much wind and chop, honestly, it’d be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The only faint glimmer comes right at the very end of the window. On Monday, 14th September, the morning shows a 3ft west swell with a very long period of 12 seconds, light offshore wind, and clean conditions. Combined energy is moderate (191). The next morning, Tuesday the 15th, is even better on paper – glassy conditions with a 3ft groundswell (11 seconds) and light variable breeze. But even then, the wave comment says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," scoring a 1 out of 10. It’s tiny, inconsistent, and just not worth the drive.
So, there you have it. A blank run of nearly two weeks of poor surf. This is a pretty normal situation for the area when the winds don’t cooperate. But don’t lose hope – forecasts can change, and it tends not to stay this poor for long.
Rusty.
