Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up for our local stretch.

Straight up, this is a tough period for us. We’re looking at a solid 16-day run, but there’s not a single solid session in the mix. The whole forecast is a write-off for decent waves. We’ve got nearly two weeks of tiny, weak surf with poor conditions, so don’t bother waxing up just yet. The first real bump in size doesn’t arrive until Saturday, 19th July, and even then it comes with messy winds.

For the first week and a half, Coombesgate Beach is serving up nothing but knee-high dribble. Swell heights hang around 1 ft to 2 ft from the west, with combined energy mostly under 60 (44 on Monday morning, 58 on Friday), which is about as weak as it gets. The wind is all over the place too – cross-offshore on Friday morning (25 km/h from the east) keeps it clean, but with barely any swell, it’s a lake out there. On Wednesday morning, 8th July, we get a short moment of glassy conditions, but with only 1 ft of swell and combined energy at 23, it’s not worth a paddle.

We finally see some size kick in on Saturday morning, 18th July, with 5 ft from the west, but the energy jumps to 161, which is moderate. The problem? The wind is a fresh cross-onshore at 30 km/h from the NNW, making it choppy and lumpy. Not great for a fun ride. The biggest day is Sunday, 19th July, with 6 ft swell from the WNW and combined energy hitting 325. That’s the most power we see, but again, it’s ruined by a moderate cross-onshore breeze. At 6 ft, this is getting solid for beginners, and with the chop, it’s really only going to appeal to experienced surfers who don’t mind a battle. The period is short (7 seconds), so the waves will be fat and crumbly. With these conditions and a beach-and-reef setup, this looks more interesting for the kite surfers than for us paddlers.

Honestly, there’s no standout here. If I had to pick the least ugly option, maybe the weekend of 19th July offers the most swell, but the wind kills it. Keep the boards in the shed for now.

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.

Coombesgate Beach is 14 km (9 miles) from Appledore. If you plan a holiday in North Devon, look for hotels and other accommodation in Appledore. Appledore has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
