The Lowdown
Alright my friends, Rusty here with a look at Lecount Hollow. It's a bit of a rough forecast to deliver, to be honest. We've got a long stretch of nothing before anything even slightly worth paddling out for.
For the first week, from right now into early September, it's a total bust. Tiny swell, all under 3 feet, and the wind is blowing from all the wrong directions, mostly onshore or cross-shore. The water temp is sitting at 70°F, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year, but you won't need to worry about that for the waves – there aren't any.
Finally, on Thursday the 3rd of September, things get interesting. A pulse of energy arrives with a combined swell energy of 420 (moderate energy) and a 6 ft swell from the east with an 8-second period. The big win is the wind finally playing ball, turning light NNW cross-offshore. That means clean, lined-up faces. The forecast says "expect good surf conditions" for that Thursday afternoon.
This Thursday afternoon session is your one and only standout. The 6 ft swell from the east will be powerful, and with that offshore wind, it'll be clean. For intermediate surfers, that's a great size. Beginners might find it a bit big and strong. It's over a week away, so we can't lock it in, but it's the only real hope we've got.
After that little burst of hope, the wind goes nuclear. Friday the 4th brings strong breeze and near-gale winds from the north-northeast, completely trashing the surf. The swell tanks after that, and it's back to tiny, wind-blown junk for the rest of the forecast.
Bottom line: you get one afternoon – Thursday the 3rd of September – that's worth looking at. The rest is a long, quiet, windy wait.

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.
