The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, giving you the same story in feet and miles per hour. This stretch at Coombesgate Beach is flat. I mean, really flat. Over the whole 16 days, there’s no surf to get excited about. The swell is tiny, the wind is often messy, and the combined energy is weak as anything. It’s a long, quiet run.
Starting Thursday the 30th of July, we’ve got a 2ft swell from the west, but it’s only a 5-second period. The wind is onshore or cross-on, making it choppy and poor. The combined energy is a weak 34. Friday and Saturday are the same – small and messy.
Sunday the 2nd of August gives us a little hope. The swell drops to 1ft from the west-southwest, but we get a gentle offshore breeze from the east in the morning. The combined energy is only 22, but it’ll be glassy and clean. If you’re a beginner wanting a paddle, this is about as good as it gets, but the waves are tiny. Monday the 3rd has a bit more energy at 68, but it’s still only 2ft and the wind turns bad later.
Tuesday the 4th of August morning has another clean, offshore window with that 1ft west-southwest swell, but it’s weak. Wednesday the 5th is nearly flat – 1ft of swell, glassy in the morning, but barely breaking. The energy is just 9. That’s the story for the rest of the run. The 6th and 7th are clean and glassy, but the swell is only 0.7ft, with energy in the single digits. By the 8th and 9th, the wind is over 25 mph, and the swell is gone. It’s frustrating.
The last few days, from the 10th to the 14th of August, stay tiny. Swell never gets above 2ft, and the period is short. The energy finally gets to 27 on the 14th, but it’s still 1ft of west swell. The wind is light and clean, but there’s no size.
For a beach and reef spot like Coombesgate, this is a real flat spell. The water temperature is about average for the season. If you’re desperate, the mornings with offshore wind on the 2nd, 4th, and 13th of August are your only chance, but you’ll be on a longboard hoping for a knee-high ripple. For everyone else, it’s time to find something else to do. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a dead ocean.
Rusty.
