The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you about what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, looking at the whole 16-day window, it’s a flat spell. There’s nothing that qualifies as a proper surfable option. We’ve got a gap that runs from now all the way through. The first few days, like Thursday the 6th and Friday the 7th, are showing tiny dribbles of swell – think 0.7 ft to 1 ft – but the energy is so weak it’s barely registering. The combined energy values are all in the low double digits, like 8, 20, or 13, which is practically nothing. That’s minimal wave energy.
The water temp at Lecount Hollow (Half Moon Bay) is sitting at 67°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Moving through the period, it’s a long, flat run. Saturday the 8th? Still tiny. That glassy morning on Monday the 10th with 1.0 ft is a tease, but it’s just not enough to push a wave. We see a few little bumps of 2 ft on Friday the 14th, but it’s a short period swell at 4 seconds, so it’s gonna be weak and crumbly. The energy is still only 25.
Things stay in the same dead zone through the third week. The morning of Wednesday the 19th shows a bit of hope with a cross-off wind and 1.0 ft, but again, no power behind it. The forecast confidence is high for the near-term, but unfortunately, the near-term is flat. Because the swell heights never crack 3 ft, and the energy readings never hit three digits, there’s simply nothing to recommend. The lack of consistent surf is more normal for this area during a quiet spell, so don’t sweat it too much. Forecasts can change, but right now, you’d be better off keeping the board in the car.
Rusty.

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.
