The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, we're looking at a pretty bleak run for a while. The first week or so is a write-off, I'm not gonna sugarcoat it. There's a long gap with nothing worth paddling out for, starting from now and lasting through most of the first week. The swell is tiny, mostly under 2 ft, and even when there's a little bump, the winds are all over the shop – cross-off, cross-on, onshore – making a mess of things. The water temp is sitting at 69.3°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so that’s one small comfort.
Things start to look a little more promising as we head into the end of the first week and into the second. The main spot to watch is Lecounts Hollow. It's a consistent, exposed intermediate break that handles a NE swell direction best.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Saturday, September 5th morning. We'll see a clean 3 ft swell from the east with a 12-second period, light winds, and the combined energy is strong at 450. It's not huge, but it'll be clean and rideable. The standout, though, is looking like Sunday, September 6th morning. That's the pick of the bunch. We’ve got a solid 5 ft swell from the east, with a gentle offshore wind from the west making for clean conditions. The combined wave energy is very strong (776). That’s a session to get excited about, though it's a long way out, so keep an eye on the forecast. The short 8-second period on that swell means it might be a bit softer and less powerful than the numbers suggest, but with those clean conditions, it'll be fun.
After that, into the second week, there's a few more days of knee-to-waist high waves, but the winds get messy again. Worth keeping an eye on, but that Sunday 6th is the one to circle.

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