The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks for Coombesgate Beach. First off, the water is running about 2° warmer than usual for this time of year, so it’s feeling much warmer than normal.
Bottom line: this stretch is looking pretty flat and quiet for a long while. You’re looking at a solid gap of about a week where there’s nothing worth paddling out for. The first real chance of a wave shows up on the morning of Wednesday, August 12th. Even then, it’s only a small 2 ft swell from the west with a period of 10 seconds. The combined swell energy is a weak 72, and while it’s glassy that morning, it’s just surfable but very ordinary. Not a standout.
The energy picks up a bit on Thursday, August 13th, with a 3 ft west-southwest swell and moderate energy (106 in the morning, 113 in the afternoon), but the wind is onshore from the west-northwest, so it’s going to be messy. Still poor conditions.
The only real spike in size comes later, on Monday, August 17th. The afternoon brings a 5 ft west-southwest swell with a 10-second period, and the combined energy jumps to a strong 386. But the wind is a moderate cross-onshore, making it choppy. The forecast still calls it poor surf conditions. The morning of Tuesday, August 18th has a similar 5 ft swell from the west, but with a strong breeze of 25 mph from the west-northwest and a short period of 8 seconds. That’s onshore and ugly, honestly more interesting for kite surfing than a proper paddle session.
The best of a weak bunch might be Thursday, August 20th. The morning has a 6 ft swell from the west with a short period of 7 seconds and strong energy (341), but the wind is a cross-offshore from the south at 16 mph, keeping it clean. The forecast calls it marginal, but that’s the closest we get to a window. It’s still a short-period swell, so it won’t have much shape, and it might be a bit much for beginners. If you’re an experienced local, that morning might be worth a look, but don’t get your hopes up too high.
Overall, it’s a long, quiet stretch with no true standouts. The forecast can always change, but for now, keep the board waxed and wait for the next pulse.
