The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break this down for you. It’s a rough run coming up at Lecounts-Hollow. Water temp is about 72°, a touch warmer than average for August, but that’s the only good news early on.
From Wednesday the 12th through the first week, it’s all tiny, weak waves and messy conditions. Swell heights barely nudge 0.7 ft to 1 ft with combined energy stuck under 100—flat and weak. Winds switch around, but there’s just no power. Saturday the 15th shows a 3 ft bump from the NNE with a short 5-second period, but it’s cross-shore and choppy. Not worth paddling out.
So there’s a dry stretch over a week long. The first sign of decent energy hits Saturday the 22nd of August. A 5 ft southerly swell swings in, period at 6 seconds, and the combined energy climbs to 180—moderate. Problem is the NE wind at 12 mph is cross-on, making it choppy. That setup feels more like a kite-surfing day than a surfing day. Afternoon lightens up a bit with 6 mph wind, but still not clean.
Your standout window is the morning of Monday the 24th of August. Swell hits 5 ft from the NNE, short 6-second period, but combined energy is 209—decent push. The wind shifts SW at 9 mph cross-off, giving you clean faces. That’s the one session for intermediates to jump on. Swell direction is a little off from the optimum NE for the break, so it won’t be perfect, but it’s the best in the 16 days. That size is a bit much for beginners, but fine for the rest of us.
After that, it’s back to tiny stuff. Mark that Monday the 24th morning.

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.
