The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with the lowdown on Lecount Hollow for the next couple weeks. Gotta be honest, it’s lookin’ like a long, dry spell of small and weak surf.
The water’s around 70°F, dead average for this time of year. The waves though? Man, for the first week-plus it’s all tiny, weak, mostly onshore junk. The first time we see any kind of pulse is on Thursday, August 27th. That morning we get a 6ft swell from the ESE, with a combined energy reading of 266 (moderate wave energy). But there’s thunderstorms and 25 mph winds from the south smackin’ it sideways. That’s a messy, choppy setup, honestly might be better for kite surfing than a paddle. The afternoon cleans up a bit with a 4ft swell and a cross-off breeze, but it’s still not what you’d call good.
After that, it drops right back to nothing. Friday, August 28th has clean conditions with a 3ft swell and a good cross-off breeze, combined energy at 157, but the size is real marginal for how crowded that spot can get.
The only real windows of something decent are the mornings of Saturday, August 29th and Sunday, August 30th. Both mornings have light offshore winds, with the swell holding at a tiny 2ft. The energy is low – 48 and 90 – but for a log or a funboard, it's clean and glassy. That’s your best bet. The Saturday has a little SE swell, and Sunday shows a little more push with an 8-second period ESE swell.
Bottom line: there’s no standout big day. Your best surf is those two mornings – small, clean, offshore, and glassy. You’ll be on a longboard, but you won’t be fighting the wind.
Stay stoked.
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.
