The Lowdown
Righto, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – for the next couple of weeks, Coombesgate Beach is not playing ball at all. We’re lookin’ at a long, frustrating stretch of mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds and messy, lumpy conditions. Out of the entire 16-day window, there is only one day that even sniffs at being worthwhile, and even then it’s pretty ordinary. The first real surf to speak of doesn’t show up until September 13, and before that it’s a full week-plus of absolute dross.
From Wednesday September 2 right through to Saturday September 12, it’s a write-off. Strong breezes, cross-shore chop, and poor surf conditions day after day. The swell sticks mainly between 2 ft and 6 ft, but the wind just kills it. The combined energy (97 to 942) shows there’s some push at times – especially Monday September 7 afternoon with a big 6 ft groundswell at 12 seconds, but that onshore wind makes it a mess. Not worth paddling out.
Then comes Sunday morning, September 13 – and this is our one and only standout. Glassy conditions at Coombesgate Beach, with a light south-easterly breeze. The swell is a small 4 ft from the west at 8 seconds, so not much period, but the water will be clean and smooth. Combined energy is mild at 138. It’s surfable, but very ordinary – that’s the honest truth. Still, if you’re desperate, this is your moment. The crowd profile says it’s *sometimes* busy, so you might have a few mates out.
After that, we’re back into mediocre territory with tiny swell and onshores until Thursday morning, September 17, where it finally looks clean again with a 5 ft west-southwest swell, 10-second period, light offshore-like cross-off breeze, and decent energy at 426. That’s over a week away, so keep an eye on it, but it could be the best of the whole run.
For the first break we mention, water temp is about average for this time of year – nothing weird going on with the thermometer.
In short: one glassy, small morning on the 13th, and a promising cleaner one on the 17th. The rest? Leave the board at home or grab a kite if you’re into that – there’s a lot of strong cross-shore wind for it.
Rusty.

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).
