The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – looking at the next few weeks, it’s a proper struggle for Coombesgate Beach. We’re in for a long, flat spell before anything even remotely rideable shows up.
The first real chance to even think about paddling out doesn’t come until Monday the 27th of July. That’s a solid two-week gap of nothing but tiny, weak waves blown out by onshore or cross-off winds. For nearly two weeks, the combined energy barely whispers, stuck in the low double digits. It’s just not worth the effort.
That Monday the 27th morning, however, things get a bit interesting. We see a jump in the combined swell energy to 495 – that’s a moderate pulse – with a 6ft swell from the west. The wind is a clean cross-off from the south, which is a major positive for Coombesgate Beach (beach and reef). The water is sitting at 64°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, so that’s a nice bonus. This is the standout window. The waves will have some proper push, but it’s a short period swell (7 seconds), so it’ll be a little disorganised. The west swell direction is a solid match for what this spot likes. The conditions are likely to be clean, but the crowd meter says "sometimes", so you might see a few other heads out there.
After that morning, the wind swings onshore in the afternoon, turning it messy. The following Tuesday the 28th morning sees a 5ft swell with a strong 19 mph cross-shore wind, which makes it poor. The afternoon actually picks up a bit more energy (521) but with a rain shower and a fresh cross-onshore wind, it’s blown out and lumpy. Too rough for a good surf.
So, in short: the entire second week of July is a total write-off. The only real chance you get is the morning of the 27th of July. It’s not perfect, but after a two-week drought, it’s the best we’ve got. Mark it in your calendar.
Rusty.

Information about the Coombesgate Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Coombesgate Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Coombesgate Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Coombesgate Beach surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Coombesgate Beach) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
