The Lowdown
Right then, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s happening at Lecount Hollow.
Alright, the overall picture for the next couple of weeks is a lean run. We’ve got a long dry spell of nothing worth paddling out for, stretching from now all the way until Thursday the 20th of August. That’s a solid week of flat or blown-out conditions where you’re better off tuning the boards.
The first real glimmer of hope arrives on the Thursday morning, the 20th. A bit of south swell bumps in at about 4ft, but the period is a short 6 seconds, so it’s going to be a bit fat and weak. The combined energy is weak (87), but the wind is glassy, dead calm. That makes those little dribblers look clean. It’s not going to blow your mind, but for a paddle and a few knee-to-waist highs, it’s something. The afternoon sees the swell nudge up a touch to 4ft and the energy jumps to a moderate 156, with a light cross-off breeze. Still ordinary, but it’s the best we’ve seen in days.
Then we hit a proper standout. The best chance on offer is the morning of Sunday, the 23rd of August. The forecast has the swell size at 5ft from the northeast, with a 7-second period. The combined energy is a moderate 234. The wind is glassy, and conditions are expected to be good. That’s the window. It’s a bit large for beginners, but for intermediates, that’s a worthwhile dawn patrol. The water temperature is about 73°F, which is over 5 degrees warmer than usual for this time of year – very unusual, you’ll be in boardshorts.
After that, it drops back off. Monday the 24th is back to small slop. The following week sees very little of note; just weak, short-period leftovers. The Friday morning of the 28th is clean but tiny at 2ft. Honestly, if you can only get one session in the next two weeks, make it that Sunday the 23rd, first light.

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.
