The Lowdown
Right, let's not beat around the bush—the surf is dead for the foreseeable future. For the first six days, from Thursday the 6th through Tuesday the 11th, you can forget it. It's flat, dribbly, and the wind is all wrong. The energy is in the single digits or teens, and there's absolutely nothing to get excited about.
Then, on Wednesday the 12th, we finally see a pulse. Coombesgate Beach (North Norfolk) picks up a 0.8m west swell with a 10-second period. The morning is glassy with a light cross-offshore breeze, and the combined energy hits 126—moderate, at least. It’s small, but it’s clean. The water is a warm 66°, which is 4° warmer than it should be, which is a nice bonus for the paddle out.
Thursday the 13th brings a bit more size—1.0m from the west/southwest with a 10-second period and energy in the 190s. But the wind goes cross-onshore, chopping up the surface. It’s got some push, but it’s messy.
Friday the 14th is small and average. The weekend and early next week are all weak, wind-affected leftovers.
There’s a flash in the pan on the afternoon of Monday the 17th, with 1.3m of short-period windswell, but it’s messy and full of current, not worth much. Then the morning of Tuesday the 18th has a 1.0m west swell with an 8-second period and a clean cross-offshore wind. It’s a moderate 149 on the energy scale, and it’s clean, but the period is too short to get any real quality.
After the 19th, the onshore wind howls at 30 km/h and the waves turn into a lumpy, choppy mess. A complete washout.
So, your only real window is the glassy morning on the 12th. It’s not big, but it’s clean. Tuesday the 18th might offer a salvageable session, but it’s not going to be pretty. This is one of those times when it pays to be patient. The surf will come back, but it’s not this week.

A general guide to surfing at Coombesgate Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. 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).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Coombesgate Beach may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
