The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on offer at Lecount Hollow.
Honestly, looking at the next 16 days, it's a pretty grim outlook for paddle surfing. The whole stretch is dominated by tiny, weak swell and almost constant onshore or cross-onshore winds. For the first week, we're talking about waves that are mostly under 3 feet, with periods under 8 seconds, which is just windswell junk. The wind is almost always blowing from the east or southeast, right into the beach, making it choppy and messy. There's a solid stretch from Thursday, July 23rd, all the way through to Wednesday, July 30th morning, where the surf is just flat-out poor. The afternoon of the 28th shows a spike in size - 7 feet from the SE - but with a period of just 5 seconds and a cross-shore wind, that's a washing machine, not a surf. That kind of energy (759) is all bump and no power for a point break. Honestly, with that kind of bump and chop, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than traditional surfing.
The only glimmer of hope comes on the morning of Thursday, July 30th. We finally get a glassy morning with the ENE wind dying to nothing. The swell is tiny, just 2 feet from the SE, but the period stretches out to 9 seconds. The wave comment calls it "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," and that's the best we get. It's small, clean, and the only session in the entire 16-day window that isn't rated as "poor." For a consistent spot like Lecounts, this is a truly unusual run of bad luck.
After that, it's back to the same story. Tiny waves, mostly under 2 feet, and generally poor conditions. The wind does swing offshore a few times around the 5th and 6th of August, but with the swell energy dropping to single digits and teens, there's just nothing to surf. A blank run like this is more normal for the area when the summer high-pressure sets in, but it never stays this poor for long.
So, to be straight with you: the only session worth paddling out for is the Thursday morning of July 30th. It's a longboard or funboard wave, but it will be clean. Everything else is a skunk.

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.
