The Lowdown
Right, let’s take a look at the next 16 days. Honestly, for Lecount Hollow, it’s a quiet start with a lot of not much. We’ve got a gap right now, and only a couple of moments that look worth paddling out for, but they’re both a little way off, so don’t get too excited just yet.
The water’s sitting at 70° – a touch warmer than usual for the end of August, which is nice on the skin.
Alright, starting from Saturday the 29th of August, there’s practically nothing. Tiny little 2ft swell with weak energy (82), and a cross breeze. Not happening. That carries on through Sunday, Monday, and into the first week of September. By Tuesday the 1st of September, the wind picks up proper – strong onshore and messy with a stormy look. We get a bump in swell to 4ft, but the wind’s all wrong, and the period is a short 5 seconds. Not for surfing.
The pattern stays poor right through to Friday the 4th. A few mornings have clean conditions, but the swell is tiny, around 3ft, and from all the wrong directions. The energy is only just ticking into three digits (101 on the 5th morning), but it’s still small and ordinary.
Now, the first real standout comes on Saturday the 5th of September. The morning has a light NNW breeze, cross-offshore, and the waves are a clean 3ft from the ENE with a 7-second period. Energy is moderate (101). It’s small, but clean. That’s the best on offer for the first week.
Then there’s another gap – Sunday 6th and Monday 7th are all choppy and cross-onshore. Not worth it.
The real highlight, and the one to aim for, is Wednesday the 9th of September. That morning we get offshore wind from the WSW at 16 mph, with clean 3ft waves from the ESE. The energy is moderate (96). That’s a good, clean window for an intermediate surfer.
Actually, the biggest swell of the whole run shows up on Wednesday the 9th afternoon and into Thursday the 10th. The 9th afternoon sees 6ft from the SE with a short 6-second period, energy moderate (179). Thursday morning hits 6ft again, from the ESE, with moderate energy (208). The winds are cross-offshore, so it stays clean. This is the biggest and most powerful we get – but it’s only moderate energy overall, and that short period means it’ll be a bit fat and walled up at the beach. It is really only for experienced surfers, not a beginner wave. The Thursday afternoon also has offshore winds, 5ft from the ESE, clean. All these are in the second week, so treat them as promising but not locked in.
Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th see the swell drop back down to 3ft-5ft, but with cross or light offshore conditions. Clean, but tiny. By Sunday the 13th, it’s all gone – back to 1ft dribble.
So, if you’re looking for the best on offer: Wednesday the 9th of September morning (clean, offshore, 3ft) and Thursday the 10th morning (bigger at 6ft, clean, but short period). The 10th is the standout for size, but the 9th is cleaner and more manageable. Crowds at Lecount Hollow can pop up – it’s a known spot – so be ready for company if the wind co-operates.
Keep it salty, keep it real.

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.

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.
