The Lowdown
Alright, grab your board and let's talk about what's on the menu. It’s gonna be a bit of a waiting game out here at Lecount Hollow for the next week and a half. Honestly, the start of this stretch is looking pretty bleak. We've got a run of tiny, dribbly swell and messy winds that will have you fighting for nothing. It’s one of those times you might be better off getting the wax off and doing some maintenance, because the ocean isn't giving us much to work with.
We kick things off on Friday the 28th with a weak 2ft SSE swell. The energy is feeble, a meager 77, and the period is a short and crumbly 8 seconds. The wind is cross and a bit of a chop is on it. Not good. That trend continues through the weekend and into the start of next week – wave heights hover around 1ft to 3ft, energy stays in the double digits and low hundreds, and the winds keep switching but always manage to find a way to mess with the surface. The water temp is sitting at 70°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only positive thing I can dig up right now.
There is a little pulse of swell pushing through on the 4th of September. The energy climbs to a moderate 102 with a north swell of 4ft, but the period is only 5 seconds. That's just bumpy, wind-driven stuff, not the clean groundswell we’re after. We’ll see some cleaner conditions, but the waves will still be poor.
Then, things start to get interesting around Saturday the 5th. The swell really fills in from the NE, jumping up to a solid 8ft by morning. The energy is strong, reading 694 that morning, and it's even pushing 608 by the afternoon. But, and this is a big but, the wind is howling from the north at 35 km/h, which is going to put a rough, lumpy chop all over it. It’ll be a big, powerful mess. On the plus side, the period moves into the 8-second range, which is more typical surf. It's going to be a handful, and a bit of a battle, so mark that as a day for the experienced crew only. Not a beginner day with these sizes. Sunday the 6th keeps that energy, with a 6ft NE swell and the morning wind still fresh at 35 km/h. The afternoon, though, the period jumps to a long 11 seconds, and the energy goes to a very strong 865. It's still cross-shore, but the wave quality will be there, just maybe a bit lined-up and walled for the beach break.
By Monday the 7th, the wind starts to turn in our favor. We get a cross-offshore breeze with a 4ft ENE swell, and that long-period energy is holding around 235. It’s clean, a bit raw, but it’s the best the waves have looked so far. That window of opportunity is brief, as the wind switches back to cross-on on Monday afternoon and the swell fades.
After that, it’s another flat spell. The energy drops right off, and we're back to knee-high slop for the middle of the second week. It’s not until the 10th and 11th of September that we see glancing, small swells, but the energy is still weak and generally the whole setup looks just "ordinary." To be honest, the most promising window in this whole 16-day outlook is that 48-hour stretch from Sunday the 6th into Monday the 7th. It won't be perfect, the winds won't be ideal, but if you're keen, that's when you'll find the most power and shape in the water. Everything else is a flat-out miss.

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 Lecount Hollow 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.
