Lecount Hollow Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, it's Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's shaping up for Lecount Hollow over this sixteen-day stretch. I'll be straight with you, it's a lean run for most of the period with just a couple of moments that might be worth a look.

Right out of the gate, we’ve got a stretch of poor conditions. From Saturday the 29th right through to the middle of the following week, it’s mostly small, weak, and messy. Expect tiny waves, mostly knee-high or smaller, with a lot of cross-shore and onshore wind. The combined swell energy is barely registering, often under 50, so it’s not worth paddling out for.

The first flicker of something a bit better shows up on Thursday the 3rd of September. The morning still looks rough with a strong cross-offshore wind making it messy, but by the afternoon, the wind swings to a light offshore from the WNW. That’s going to clean things up nicely. The swell bumps up a touch to around 4ft from the ESE, with moderate energy readings around 167. It’s not going to blow your mind, but it’ll be surfer-friendly and clean, making it the best option on offer for the first week. This is likely the standout window.

Friday the 4th keeps that clean, manageable vibe going into the afternoon, with a 3ft ESE swell and light offshore winds.

Moving to Saturday the 5th of September, the morning looks promising again. Offshore winds from the WNW are blowing over a 4ft NNE swell, with the combined energy climbing to 198. The waves will be clean, but the period is a short 7 seconds, so it’ll be a bit on the weaker, less organized side. The afternoon sees that energy hit 207, but the wind goes cross-shore and the conditions deteriorate.

Sunday the 6th and Monday the 7th offer the biggest swell of the entire run. Monday afternoon sees a 7ft ESE swell rolling in with strong combined energy of 328. The problem is the wind is light and cross-onshore, so it’ll be a bit lumpy. The period is a short 6 seconds, too. It's big enough that beginners should probably sit this one out, and that onshore bump won’t help.

After a drop in size, the second week from the 9th onwards is much of the same, flat to small, with only a brief moment on the 11th where you might find a clean little knee-high wave under offshore winds, but the energy is very weak.

To be honest, for this entire window, your best bet is the late afternoon on Thursday the 3rd of September. A clean 4ft of groundswell, a light offshore breeze, and no crowds to speak of, it's the pick of a fairly quiet crop.

Rusty.
