The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you: this stretch is looking pretty flat as a pancake, and it stays that way for a long time.
We’re looking at a real dry spell to kick things off. From Monday the 14th right through to the early morning of the 21st, there’s just nothing to get excited about. We’re talking tiny dribbles, no energy – the combined swell energy barely cracks 40 (40) to 98 (98) – and messy winds the whole way. It's a full week of sitting on the beach.
Now, things finally start to look interesting on Monday the 21st. A fresh northeasterly swell pulses in, with some size. Tuesday morning the 22nd is a bit bigger, but the real standout in this whole 16-day window is Lecount Hollow around Monday afternoon. Wait, scratch that. Looking closer, the morning of Monday the 21st actually brings the first real spike of size, with a strong 8ft NE swell pumping. Combined energy jumps to 575 (moderate to strong). But here’s the kicker: the wind is a lumpy cross-shore and the surf quality is rated as poor due to the wind. It's not going to be clean, so it's for the hardy only.
The second major pulse is on Thursday the 25th. We get a big E swell pushing 10ft, with a very long 12-second period, and combined energy rocketing up to 3232 (very strong). This is a big groundswell. It’ll be a challenging, powerful wave. For experienced surfers only, as anything over 8ft is expert territory. That size and long period tends to suck the water off the reef, and with strong onshore wind in the morning, it’ll be heavy and messy. By the afternoon the wind eases to a gentle cross-onshore, giving a score of 2 out of 10 – just a marginal chance for someone who really knows the break.
Honestly, this is an area where a blank run like the first week is not unusual. It tends to get pumping in pulses, and we’ve got two of them coming. The first at the start of week two is wind-affected, and the second at the end of the run is raw and powerful. If you’re a strong paddler, the morning of the 25th of September offers a window of raw power, but don’t expect perfection.
Until then, keep the board in the car and the coffee hot.

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.
