The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's cooking at Lecounts Hollow.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. We're looking at a very long run of small, uninspiring surf. The first few days are pretty much a write-off, so don't bother paddling out until we get deep into the second week. The water temp is sitting right around average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
Tuesday afternoon the 25th, we’ve got a tiny 1ft swell from the ESE with a long 11-second period, but the energy is weak (35). It’s just not enough to get excited about, even with the cross-offshore wind. Wednesday the 26th morning sees a slight bump to 2ft, but with a short 8-second period, it’s weak and won't offer much.
Honestly, the whole first week is a grind. The wave energy stays low, dipping into the double digits (6, 13, 20) and the swell never gets above 2ft. There's a glimmer on Wednesday morning the 9th of September when the combined energy finally jumps to a moderate 196, with a 3ft swell from the east and a 9-second period. The wind is cross-offshore, which is clean, but the waves are still just too small and weak to really recommend. The 10-second period on Wednesday afternoon is a bit better, but the cross-shore wind will chop it up.
So, what's the best on offer? I'd have to point you to Wednesday morning, September 9th. It's the only time the energy ticks over into the triple digits (196), and with a clean cross-offshore breeze, it will be the most surfable looking window in the whole 16-day outlook. But don't get your hopes up – it's still a long way out and the waves are small.
The rest of the forecast is a desert. There are no standout sessions, no big swells rolling in, and the conditions are either too windy or too small. For a spot that's normally consistent, this is a real bummer. The only good news is that it can't stay this bad forever, and the forecast can change.
For now, take a break, wax your board, and wait for the next system.

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.
