The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Lecounts Hollow.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window is a tough one for paddle surfing. The wave energy is weak, real weak, with combined swell energy sitting at just 113 (moderate) on the first afternoon and then dropping into double digits for the rest of the run. The water temp is 66°, which is about normal for this time of year with a -0.5° anomaly, so nothing weird there.
The main issue is the wind. For the first few days, we’ve got a sou’easterly breeze blowing straight onshore, or cross-on, making a mess of the surf. The swell is small, 3 ft maximum, and coming from the SSE or SE with a short period of 8-9 seconds. That’s windswell, not groundswell, so it’s gonna be weak and crumbly. The best you could hope for is the Friday morning of the 31st July – that’s a WNW wind at 6 mph, offshore, with a clean 2 ft SE swell. The description says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," which is about as generous as I can be. That’s a one-star day out of ten.
The gaps are brutal. For the first week, from the 22nd through to the 30th, there’s really nothing worthwhile. The swell stays tiny, the wind is mostly wrong, and the energy is pathetic. The 22nd to the 30th is a total write-off. Then, on the 31st, we get that brief offshore window before the wind swings back to the south on the 1st of August, ruining it again.
From the 1st of August onward, the swell drops to 1 ft and less, with combined energy in the teens or single digits. That’s flat-out flat. The wind does go cross-off or offshore a few times – like on the morning of the 2nd and 3rd of August – but there’s just no water moving. You’d be better off swimming.
Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The south winds are consistent and strong in the second week, and the waves are tiny. For a surfboard, this is a long, dry spell.
To sum it up: don’t get your hopes up. The only flicker of a chance is the morning of the 31st of July, and even that’s a meager little wave. The rest of the 16 days is a gaping hole of nothing.
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.
