The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s happening at Lecount Hollow.
To be straight with you, the next 16 days are looking pretty grim for decent waves. There’s a big gap of poor surf right from the start, and it really doesn’t let up. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak swells and messy winds, and nothing that’s going to get you excited. The first recommendation doesn’t even show up until Saturday the 22nd, and even then, it’s just a marginal window.
The only real standout in this whole period is Saturday afternoon, August 22. The swell is a modest 4 ft from the east, with a short period of 6 seconds, so it’s not going to be a world-beater, but the wind swings light from the NNW, giving us clean conditions (combined energy 92). That’s the best you’re going to get. For a break that’s exposed to the swell, it’s at least rideable. Be aware, the water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
After that, it’s a long, sad run of poor surf, with heights barely breaking 2 ft and onshore winds or messy cross-shore breezes. There’s a brief moment on Sunday the 23rd afternoon with glassy conditions and 2 ft from the SE, but it’s still small and weak. Then we hit a long stretch of nothing until the very end of the month. August 31st morning shows a 4 ft SSE swell with clean conditions, but the period is a pathetic 4 seconds, and the energy is still weak (57). It’s surfable, but barely. The 31st afternoon does bump up to 5 ft SSE, but again, short period, and the wind is strong from the south, making it a messy prospect.
September 4th and 5th offer the biggest swells of the run, with 5 ft from the SE on the 4th afternoon, but the period is still only 5 seconds, and the wind is a fresh 19 mph cross-offshore. It’s clean, but the wave quality will be poor, and the energy is at best moderate (120). For a spot like Lecount Hollow, this is more of a wind-swell slop than anything you’d paddle out for.
Bottom line: if you’re desperate, Saturday the 22nd afternoon is your best chance for a few grovelly ones. Otherwise, leave the board in the car and wait for a better forecast.
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.
