The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get straight into it. We've got a quiet stretch ahead for the local area, so don't get your hopes up for anything epic.
Looking at the whole 16-day window, it's a flat spell. There's nothing on offer that's going to get the heart pumping. The first few days are a write-off, and honestly, the whole run looks pretty grim. We're talking about a long gap of more than two weeks with nothing worth paddling out for. It's one of those times where the forecast is just a blank page for surfers.
The only spot in the mix is Lecount Hollow, and it's a consistent break, but that doesn't mean much when there's no energy. The swell is tiny, mostly under 2 ft, and from the ESE or SE, which isn't the best direction for this spot (it prefers NE). The period is short, often under 8 seconds, so it's weak, windswell stuff. The combined energy is pathetic, bouncing between 14 and 100 (weak energy), which tells you everything you need to know. There's no punch to anything.
The wind is a constant problem. Most of the time it's a cross-onshore breeze, often a moderate to fresh breeze, lumping up the water. The best you'll see is a few mornings with a light offshore or cross-off wind, like on the 20th (Thursday) morning when there's a 2 ft swell from the ESE with a 6 mph offshore wind. It would be clean, but the waves are just too small and gutless to make it a real session. For a beginner, these tiny waves would be fine, but for anyone else, it's frustrating.
The 28th of August (Friday) afternoon sees the combined energy jump to 169 (moderate wave energy) with a 3 ft SSE swell at 10 seconds, but it's being shredded by a 22 mph cross-onshore wind. That combination is a mess. Too much wind for the size of the wave. Honestly, with that setup, it looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Water temperature? I can't give you a precise number, but it's about average for the time of year, nothing unusual. The best call is to find something else to do for the next two weeks. This is a classic blank run for the area. Forecasts can change, but right now, it's a tough one to swallow.
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.
