The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks. It’s gonna be a bit of a mix, so let’s get into it.
We’re starting off with a pretty quiet period. The first few days are looking marginal, but we do have a little window of opportunity. The main spot to focus on is Lecount Hollow. It’s a consistent, exposed spot that needs a north-east swell to really get going, and we’re not quite getting that.
The first real chance to get wet is going to be Thursday morning, the 20th of August. We’ve got a small 2ft swell from the ESE with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is weak (42), so don’t expect much push. The good news is that it’s clean with a light cross-offshore wind. It’s not going to be a classic, but for a Thursday morning session, it’s surfable.
Things get a bit messy after that. Friday through Saturday is a write-off with onshore winds and poor conditions. Sunday the 23rd shows a little improvement in the afternoon with a 2ft S swell and a light cross-off breeze, but it’s still very ordinary.
Now, the standout moment in this whole outlook comes on Monday the 24th of August. The afternoon session is where it’s at. We’ll see a 4ft swell from the south with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy picks up to a moderate 114. The wind goes offshore from the WSW, and it’s clean. That’s the best we’re going to get. It’s not huge, but it’ll be way more fun than anything else in the window.
After that, it’s a long, drawn-out slump. From Tuesday the 25th all the way through to the end of the forecast on the 4th of September, the surf is tiny and mostly blown out. There’s a brief moment on the 29th of August with a clean 2ft SE swell, but the energy is low and the conditions are just ordinary. The wind is often onshore or cross-shore, and the swell is small and weak.
The 28th of August sees a 5ft SE swell, but the period is a short 5 seconds and the wind is cross-onshore, making it choppy and messy. Not worth paddling out for.
So, to wrap it up: if you’re keen, keep your eyes on Monday afternoon the 24th of August. That’s your best bet. The rest of the time, you’re probably better off doing something else. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual to report there.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
