The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Look, I've scanned the charts and the outlook for Hollyoake over the next sixteen days, and I'm not gonna sugar-coat it: it's a pretty grim stretch for paddle surfing. We're looking at a whole lot of small, weak, and often messy conditions. The best you can hope for are a few fleeting moments where it just becomes rideable, but nothing is gonna get the heart pumping. There's a bit of a gap at the start here too, with nothing really worthwhile on Wednesday the 5th and Thursday the 6th.
Let's start from the beginning. Wednesday the 5th and Thursday the 6th are write-offs. Tiny swell, all under 3ft, and the wind is just all over the shop, creating chop and cross-chop. Don't even bother.
Friday the 7th of August shows a flicker of life. The morning sees a light 3ft SSW swell cruise in with a gentle cross-offshore breeze, cleaning things up. It gives us "surfable but ordinary" waves. Energy is still low. It's something to get wet on, but don't expect any magic. The afternoon gets blown out by a strong cross-shore.
Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th are more of the same: small and weak, with a bit of cross-offshore wind in the mornings keeping things clean for a paddle, but really, the swell is just too puny.
Now, Monday the 10th of August offers the best chance in this whole grim outlook. The morning brings a 4ft south swell, the biggest we'll see. Combined energy finally picks up a bit. And the light WSW wind is holding cross-offshore, keeping the surface clean. This is the standout period, but it's still "surfable but ordinary", so keep your expectations in check.
From there it's a slow decline. Tuesday the 11th through to the end of the period is a saga of tiny swell. There are pockets of glassy conditions on Thursday morning the 13th and a glassy early start Saturday the 15th with the wind swinging into a clean WNW, but the swell is just anemic. Even if the chance of waves is possible, the period is too short to do much except maybe small beachies.
All in all, this is a rough run for Hollyoake. The water's a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 77°F, but that's small comfort. For the next two weeks, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Keep your eyes on the charts, but I'd be finding something else to do for a while.
Rusty.

Information about the Hollyoake Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Hollyoake provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Hollyoake can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Hollyoake 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 (Hollyoake) 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 Hollyoake 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.
