The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, and I’ve got to be straight with you. Looking at the next 16 days at Coombesgate Beach, it’s a tough one. This is a beach and reef setup, a bit of a beginner zone, but the ocean isn’t giving us much to work with for a long stretch.

The first decent swell we see doesn’t show up until about a week and a half away, around the 5th and 6th of September. For over a week before that, it’s just flat or super weak, poor little waves.

Now, on the afternoon of Sunday, the 6th of September, things finally flip. The swell jumps to a solid 8ft out of the west, with a moderate wave energy (804). The wind is a gorgeous cross-offshore from the east-northeast, which will keep things clean. The water here is running at 66°F, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year – a real treat for the skin.

This is the clear standout. The swell is a bit on the big side, pushing into expert territory, and with a short period of 8 seconds, it’ll be a bit walled up and crumbly, not the kind of long, drawn-out line you get from a groundswell. But for power and punch, that’s the best on offer. The crowds can get on it sometimes, so be ready to share.

The next day, Monday the 7th, it drops back to 4ft from the west in the morning, still with offshore wind from the east-southeast. A bit more manageable for the average surfer, but the energy is much lower (284).

That’s it. A long, quiet spell, then a couple of days with a bit of grunt. If you can wait it out, the 6th is your day.

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.
