The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Lecount Hollow over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. The numbers just aren’t lining up for any kind of proper surf session for a long, long time. We’re looking at a gap of nearly two weeks before anything even gets close to being worth a paddle out. The water temperature is sitting at a balmy 71°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least the wait won’t be freezing.
Right from the get-go, Sunday afternoon (9 August) is a no-go. We’ve got a tiny 0.7 ft swell from the SSE with a weak period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 5 (weak), and with a 12 mph cross-offshore wind, it’s just not happening.
Monday and Tuesday (10-11 August) are the same old story. Tiny swells under 0.7 ft, poor energy readings, and winds that are all over the place. Even when we get a clean offshore on Tuesday morning, the swell is too small to bother with. Wednesday morning (12 August) gives us a brief moment of glassy conditions, which sounds dreamy, but with a 0.7 ft swell and an energy of just 7, it’s a lake, not the ocean.
Thursday the 13th sees a slight bump in the afternoon with a 2 ft swell from the south, but the period is a dreadful 4 seconds. That’s pure wind chop with an energy reading of 20 (still weak). Not worth your time.
Friday the 14th and Saturday the 15th have some stronger winds – a 25 mph cross-off on Friday morning, and a 3 ft swell from the NNE on Saturday. But the energy on Saturday is only 67, and that swell period is a pathetic 5 seconds. It’s all mush.
We roll into the second week, and the pattern holds. Sunday the 16th is messy with strong winds and rain. Monday the 17th finally sees a jump in energy to 147 (moderate) with a 4 ft swell from the south. But the wind is a strong 25 mph cross-offshore, and the period is a short 7 seconds. It’s going to be a bumpy, windy mess.
The first hint of something actually surfable comes on Tuesday the 18th. The morning shows a tiny 0.7 ft swell but with a very long period of 14 seconds from the east. The energy is 53 (weak), and the wind is light offshore. That long period means there’s some proper groundswell energy in the water, but the height just isn’t there. It’s a tease.
Wednesday the 19th and Thursday the 20th offer similar small, long-period swells (1.0 ft to 1 ft from the east/southeast) with periods around 10-12 seconds. Thursday afternoon actually goes glassy with a 1 ft swell and an energy of 46. The wave comment calls it "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." If you’re desperate, you could get a log out, but it’s going to be tiny and weak.
Friday the 21st brings a 3 ft swell from the north, but with a period of just 5 seconds. That’s another wind swell with energy of 71 (still weak). The rest of the period through to Monday the 24th is more of the same: small swells, poor periods, and cross-onshore winds.
The Best on Offer: There are no standouts here. If you put a gun to my head, the best window is Thursday, 20 August, in the afternoon. The water will be glassy, the swell is a clean 1 ft from the ESE with a 10-second period (46 energy). It’s not going to be good, but it’s the only time the wind isn’t ruining what little swell there is. Get the foamie.

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.
