Lecount Hollow Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, crew, Rusty here with the lowdown on the next sixteen days for Lecount Hollow. It’s a brutal stretch of flatness, so temper your expectations. There’s nothing happening right now, and the first time you might get a wave is Friday afternoon, July 31st, and even that’s a long shot.

Water temp is 68°, which is about normal for this time of year.

Let’s break it down. Friday afternoon, July 31st, there’s a tiny 3ft swell from the NE with a short period of 6 seconds. The wave energy is weak at 87. The wind goes glassy, which is a big plus, meaning the surface will be clean. This is the only window in the first week where you might find something small and rideable.

Saturday morning, August 1st, the swell drops to 2ft from the SE, period up to 9 seconds, but the energy is a measly 41. The wind is light and cross-off, so it’s clean, but you’ll be struggling for anything that stands up. It’s a long paddle for a small bump.

After that, it’s pretty much game over. From Saturday afternoon right through to August 14th, swell heights are mostly under 2ft, periods are short, and the combined energy rarely hits 30. The wind is often cross or onshore, making it choppy. There’s a glassy spell on Sunday morning, August 10th, with 2ft from the N, but it’s a weak, short-period swell that won’t deliver.

There’s no standout day here. The closest call is Friday afternoon, July 31st, when the glassy conditions make the most of that 3ft NE swell. You’ll be looking at knee-high slop, but it’ll be clean. Crowds are possible at Lecount Hollow, so don’t expect to have it to yourself.

The rest of the sixteen days is a long, flat gap. This is a pretty normal stretch of nothing for the area when the weather doesn’t cooperate.

Stay patient, and keep checking the charts. I'm Rusty. Out.
