The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s coming up for Coombesgate Beach.
Honestly, it’s a grim run for the next 16 days. We’re looking at a solid two-week stretch where conditions just won’t line up for a decent paddle. There’s a bit of swell around, but the wind and quality are consistently poor. The first week is a write-off: persistent cross-onshore winds, lumpy and choppy water, and all those waves are given a thumbs-down from me.
We kick off Sunday 13th September – cloudy, 16 mph cross-on wind, swell around 4 ft from the west with a 10-second period. It’s not tiny, but it’s a messy cross-onshore affair. That theme sticks all the way through to the end of the week. By Tuesday 15th, the wind goes onshore at 19 to 22 mph with a short 7-second period on that west swell, making it all just lumpy. By Wednesday 16th, the combined energy climbs to 417 (moderate energy) but the wave quality is still labelled poor. Water temp is sitting at 65°, which is about 5° warmer than normal – that’s notably warm for the time of year.
Friday 18th and Saturday 19th keep up the same vibe: 5 ft to 6 ft of short-period west swell (7 seconds) and more fresh cross-onshore winds. Honestly, if you were thinking of a paddle, the setup would be more suited to a kite session, not a clean surf. That weekend isn’t offering any relief.
Then from Sunday 20th into the following week, the swell drops off quick. By Tuesday 22nd, we’re down to 2 ft to 2 ft, with the combined energy barely reaching 60. That’s weak. The wind stays cross-on, and all you’re getting is short period, weak junk.
From Wednesday 23rd onward it’s almost flat. By Thursday 24th and Friday 25th, we’re looking at 0.3 ft to 0.7 ft on a long 12 to 16-second period groundswell – but there’s no height to work with. The wind does go offshore or cross-off, clean, and clean-looking, but you need more than a ripple to surf. Even by Saturday 26th, a reading shows 3 ft from the NNW with a 4-second period – that’s windswell, not worth paddling out for.
Bottom line: there’s no standout session in this 16-day window. Coombesgate Beach just isn’t offering anything worthwhile for a surfer. We’ll have to wait for the next forecast change.
