The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. I’m looking at the next few weeks at Lecount Hollow, and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a pretty grim stretch for us wave-starved souls. The whole 16-day window is basically a surf desert. We’re staring down a long run of ankle-biters and junk swell, with hardly a moment that gets the heart pumping.
From now through to the end of the first week, it’s consistently poor. Tiny 0.3ft to 2ft waves, mostly from the south or southeast, with periods that are all over the place but rarely packing any punch. The combined energy is laughable, mostly in the single digits or low teens – weak stuff (12-31). The wind is a mixed bag but often cross or cross-onshore, keeping things messy. Mornings on the 15th offer a bit of a tease with glassy conditions and a 0.7ft, 9-second ESE swell, but you’d need a foamie to get a ride. It’s just not happening.
We hit a bit of a bump on the 16th (Sunday) where the swell does kick up to 3ft from the south with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy hits a moderate 102. But the wind is a fresh 35 km/h cross-shore, creating a lumpy cross-chop. That’s not surfable for a paddler; that’s kite-surfing territory. Monday the 17th sees a drop back to 1.0ft.
The second week offers a glimmer, but it’s still far from good. The 19th (Wednesday) morning shows a 1ft southeast swell with a 14-second period (long period groundswell), and the energy climbs to 98. The wind is a light cross-off, keeping it clean. It’s surfable but very ordinary. The 22nd (Saturday) morning is the best of a bad bunch: 2ft from the southeast at 11 seconds, glassy wind, and the combined energy is 190 – that’s our strongest pulse. Still, 2ft is small. The 23rd (Sunday) morning has 2ft swell from the east at 13 seconds, energy of 362, and a light cross-off wind. That’s the biggest size we see, but it’s a long-period east swell, which means it might break a bit soft and close out on a beach like this.
Overall, there’s no standout. If I had to pick the least-worst session, it’s the morning of the 23rd of August. That 2ft east swell with 13 seconds and clean cross-off wind is the only time the numbers line up for a possible grovel. But don’t get your hopes up. This is a lean period for Lecount Hollow. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so you won’t need a thick suit, but you’ll be paddling for scraps.

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.
