The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Lecount Hollow.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you: this stretch is looking pretty flat and bleak for the next week and a half. The surf is small, weak, and the energy is just not there. The first few days offer nothing worth paddling out for, with tiny swell and mostly onshore or cross-shore winds making a mess of things. It’s a long wait, almost two weeks, before we see anything that even gets a pulse.
Wednesday 26th August kicks it off with a tiny 3 ft ESE swell, but it’s short period at 10 seconds and a cross-on wind from the SSE at 9 mph. The combined energy is a weak 132, and it’s just poor out there. Not worth a second look.
The next several days are a real grind. Swell stays under 3 ft, period is short, and winds are mostly cross or cross-off. The water temp is about 69°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year, but the lack of any decent wave energy is the real story. Thursday 27th through to the end of August sees nothing but 1 ft to 3 ft dribble, with energy readings dropping down to single digits. The wind does swing offshore on Monday 31st August morning, with a gentle 9 mph WSW breeze, but the swell is only 1 ft and 8 seconds – you’d be bobbing around on a lake.
We get a bit of a bump in size on Friday 4th September, but it’s a messy one. A 8 ft NE swell rolls in, but it’s accompanied by a cross-on wind from the SE at 12 mph, making for a choppy, lumpy mess. The combined energy jumps to 651, which is a solid surge of power, but the quality is poor. The wind picks up to 22 mph and heavy rain sets in that afternoon. This one is a pass for paddle surfing – the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than a clean wave.
Saturday 5th September sees the swell drop to 5 ft (ENE) with a 43 mph gale from the NNW. That’s a cross-off wind, so it’s clean, but the wind is howling. Sunday the 6th is similar, with 4 ft swell and near-gale force winds. It’s blown out and dangerous.
The real standout – and I mean the only true highlight in this whole 16-day window – comes on Tuesday 8th September. The swell is only 2 ft from the ENE with a 9-second period, but the wind goes glassy, a perfect 3 mph W breeze. The combined energy is 63, which is weak, but the conditions are clean. The water temperature is still not provided in the data for that day, but the overall forecast tilts to “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” For this spot, with everything else being a total dud, that glassy morning is your best bet. The wave shape will be small but clean, and with the glassy wind, you might snag a few fun lines. It’s not a day for heroes, but it’s a day for getting wet.
Beyond that, the forecast gets messy again with onshore winds and tiny swell. Thursday 10th September finishes the run with a 3 ft SE swell and a gentle offshore wind from the W at 9 mph – clean but small.
So, for the love of all things surf, don’t hold your breath until that Tuesday morning. That’s the one to try and sneak out for. Otherwise, it’s a long, flat spell for the Hollow.
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.
