The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for Lecounts Hollow.
Alright, if you’ve been staring at a flat ocean, don’t worry, we’ve got a flicker of hope. The next week and a half is mostly a near total write-off for a decent paddle. Honestly, it’s a brutal run. There are long gaps with nothing to recommend. We’re looking at a stretch from now until the afternoon of Monday, 17th August where the surf is just not on.
But hold onto your board, because the afternoon of Monday, 17th August throws us a proper bone. That’s your standout. We get a jump in swell energy (282), with a clean 6 ft wave pushing in from the North. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so don't expect a shock. The best part? The wind goes glassy. It’s a lump of swell that’s on the shorter period side (6 seconds) so it'll be a bit fat and dumpy on the beach, but when it’s that clean and that size? Get out there. This one is pushing towards that expert territory over 8 ft, so if you’re not confident, maybe watch from the sand. Even though the wind is perfect, that short period will make it punchy.
After that tease, Tuesday 18th and Wednesday 19th mornings offer a little something, but it’s a massive step down in size – back to small stuff – with lower energy. Tuesday afternoon gets a bit bumpy with a cross-onshore wind.
Things get quiet again for a while. The following week is a big old blank spot for decent waves.
Then, on Tuesday, 25th August, the morning looks clean but tiny, but keep an eye on the afternoon of 25th August. The wind goes glassy again, and we see a little bump from the ESE with a longer period (11 seconds) and energy of (41). It’s more shape than power, but glassy conditions on a long-period groundswell at a beach break can make it tricky to find the right spot – it might break too straight. Still, if you’re desperate for a cruise in perfect conditions, it’s your only play in the second week.
So, the real story: wait for that Monday afternoon (17th) window for the one and only solid session. The rest is a lot of waiting and hoping.
Rusty.

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.
