The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Lecount Hollow (Lecounts-Hollow) has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, it’s a tough stretch ahead. The pattern starts off flat and ugly and doesn't really serve up anything worth paddling out for until we get deep into the first week of September. The first real swell that shows some promise, and this is the standout of the whole window, arrives Saturday the 5th of September. A fresh NNE groundswell pushes in at 6ft with a period of 6 seconds, but the real story here is the 30 km/h NNW wind cranking offshore and keeping things clean. That’s a proper session for the confident surfer. The water temp is sitting at 70°, a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so the rubber might be a little thinner in the morning.
But don't let that Saturday morning fool you. By Saturday afternoon the wind swings cross-shore and cranks up to 45 km/h, jacking the swell to 8ft. The combined energy jumps right up (477), and with that kind of power and messy wind, it's something for the experienced crew only. Then Sunday the 6th gets big. Real big. A 10ft NE swell with 45 km/h cross-onshore winds creates a messy, chunky beast of a day (combined energy of 1208). Unless you're on a tow-in board or a big kite, this is a stay-on-the-beach kind of day. For the kitesurfers, that setup looks way more fun than it does for a paddle surfer.
Monday the 7th of September is the next chance at a half-decent wave. The swell drops back to 5ft, the wind goes light from the north, and it’s got a bit of period (11 seconds) behind it, but the ENE direction isn’t ideal. You’ll be scratching for the clean ones. It’s marginal.
After that, the entire second week goes quiet. From the 8th right through to the 15th, it’s tiny, weak, and mostly messy. There’s a glassy morning on Wednesday the 9th and again on Saturday the 11th, but with swell under 2ft, you’ll be bobbing around on nothing. The combined energy values during that stretch are mostly two-digit numbers (weak), so don’t expect any juice. The best you can hope for is a longboard and a flat spell. It’s a real lull.
The final session to note is Monday the 14th of September. A new pulse of 6ft NNE swell shows up, but with the wind on it from the ESE and a short period (6 seconds), it’s going to be lumpy and average. Nothing to get excited about.
So here’s the takeaway: if you’ve got to surf, your best bet is the early morning of Saturday the 5th of September at Lecount Hollow. It’s one day with clean conditions and some size. After that, it’s a long, quiet wait.
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.
