The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checkin’ in on Lecounts Hollow. It’s lookin’ lean, folks. There’s a long stretch of flat, crusty conditions ahead, so temper your expectations.
The water is about 68°F, which is a touch warmer than what we usually see this time of year.
We start off on Saturday, September 5th, and it’s a total washout. There’s a 4ft swell from the NE, but the period is a short 5 seconds, and the wind is cross-onshore, making it all lumpy and choppy. The combined energy is only 96 (weak). Not worth a second look.
Sunday the 6th shows a bit more size, with 5ft from the NE in the morning, but the wind is cross-shore, creating a lumpy mess. The energy picks up to 281 (moderate), but it’s still a zero. The afternoon does clean up, with a 4ft NE swell and a light cross-offshore breeze. The energy stays at 283 (moderate). It’s clean, but it’s not a standout. Just a small window of decent looking waves.
Monday the 7th drops off quick. 3ft from the NNE in the morning, clean but tiny. The afternoon has a 2ft wave from the ENE with a light offshore wind and a period of 9 seconds. The energy is 100 (weak). It’s very ordinary. Then, from Tuesday the 8th through to Monday the 14th, it’s a total dead zone. Flat, weak, or wind-annihilated. The energy numbers drop into the teens and twenties. You’d be better off mowing the lawn.
Then, around Thursday the 17th, the forecast gets a bit rowdy, but not for the better. A big slug of swell arrives: 10ft from the ENE on Thursday morning, with a combined energy of 1121 (very strong). That’s a lot of power, but it’s a short period (8 seconds) and the wind is straight onshore. This is a kite surfer’s dream, not a paddle surfer’s. It’s going to be a big, messy, blown-out wall. Only for experts, and even then, it’s ugly.
The following Friday the 18th stays big, with 7ft from the E and onshore winds. Still a mess. It’s not until Saturday the 19th that things settle. We get a 4ft swell from the E, with a light offshore wind and clean conditions. The energy is moderate at 164. It’s surfable, but very ordinary.
So, the best bet on offer is the Sunday afternoon of the 6th. It’s the only clean window in the first week. The second option is the Saturday morning of the 19th, which is also clean but small. The big swell mid-month is a no-go for paddle surfing.
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.
