The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s see what we’ve got for the next couple of weeks at Lecounts-Hollow (your local sub-region is Lecounts-Hollow).
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you—this ain't gonna be a classic stretch. There’s a real dry spell coming, with the first week or so offering very little to get excited about. The surf quality is poor right through the first several days, with tiny, weak swell and mostly onshore or cross-shore breezes messing things up.
We’re looking at just about nothing from Tuesday the 11th all the way through Saturday the 15th. The swell is barely a ripple, often around 0.3ft to 0.7ft, with a few early morning windows of clean conditions but no push behind it. The combined swell energy is pathetic, often just single digits or low teens.
Finally, on Saturday morning the 15th, we get a tiny pulse—3ft from the NNE, but it’s short period at 5 seconds. The combined energy is still weak at 57 (moderate wave energy) with a moderate cross-shore wind. It’s still poor surf conditions. Not worth paddling out for.
The real standout—and I mean the *only* standout in this whole forecast—lands on Monday morning the 17th. We get a bump of 5ft from the S, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined swell energy jumps to 168 (moderate wave energy), which is the biggest energy reading of the whole run. The wind is a clean NW cross-offshore at 12 mph, and the wave comment says clean. That’s your best window right there. The break is an exposed spot and likes swell from the NE, so this southerly swell isn’t its ideal direction, but with the clean wind and that bit of size, it’ll be the pick of the fortnight.
After that, it drops back down into the slop. The rest of the period sees tiny waves again, mostly 0.7ft to 3ft, with cross-on breezes and combined energy that never gets past 80. Not much to write home about.
Water temp on the first morning is at a warm 72°, with an anomaly of 3°, so about a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
So, honest truth: mark Monday the 17th morning on your calendar if you’re keen, because that’s your one shot. Otherwise, it’s a pretty flat run.
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.
