The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's chew the fat on what's happening at Lecounts Hollow for the coming weeks.
Gotta be honest, it's a real bummer of a forecast. A massive flat spell is on the books. The water temp is a pleasant 72°, which feels a touch warmer than average for the time of year, but that's the only highlight for a while.
We are looking at a huge gap with no decent surf. From Thursday the 13th straight through to Tuesday the 26th, there's just nothing to ride. Knee-high slop with very weak wave energy (topping out at 85). The winds are messy, the swell is short and weak, and the conditions are just flat-out poor. It's a long, quiet stretch.
Way out on Wednesday the 26th of August, things perk up a little. By Thursday morning the 27th, we finally see some size: a 1.5m NE swell. But here's the kicker – the period is a short 6 seconds, so the waves will be weak and crumbly. The wind is a light cross-shore from the NNE, which will put some bumps on the surface. The combined energy gets to 161 (moderate wave energy), which is the best of the whole run, but the short period and onshore wind in the afternoon mean it won't be clean. This is an experts-only window for anyone who doesn't mind a choppy face.
There are no standouts here. It's all poor. The break being consistent doesn't matter when there's hardly any swell to work with. Even that bigger energy on the 27th is a letdown because of the wind and short period.
Don't book a trip for this one. The smart money is on waiting and hoping the models start to talk nice. It can't stay this bad forever, but right now, it's a total wash.

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.
