The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – this is a grim stretch for Newcombs Hollow. We’re looking at a solid 16-day window with absolutely no surf worth paddling out for. The first real chance of a wave doesn’t even show up, and when it does, it’s a total dud. The wind is a mess, the swell is tiny, and the energy is pathetic. You’re better off leaving the boards in the car.
Starting on Wednesday, July 22nd, it’s a washout. Strong cross-off winds from the southwest at 22 mph with zero swell. The following days are just as bad. Thursday the 23rd has a tiny 3 ft swell from the southeast with a 9-second period, but the wind is all over the place and the wave energy is weak (125). Friday and Saturday are even smaller, with wind ripples and choppy conditions. The whole first week is a write-off.
We roll into the second week, and it’s more of the same. The swell stays small, well under 3 ft, with short, weak periods. The wind switches from cross-on to cross-off, but it doesn’t matter – there’s no power behind it. The combined energy values are all in the low double digits, or even single digits, with a few mid-range readings like 102 on Sunday the 26th, but that’s still anaemic. The water temperature is about average for this time of year.
The only flicker of hope comes on Saturday, August 1st. The morning goes glassy, with a light wind from the southwest at just 3 mph. The swell is a pathetic 0.7 ft, but it’s from the east-southeast with a 9-second period. The energy is a measly 8, so it’s flat, but if you’re desperate for a micro-session on a foamie, you might catch a knee-high ripple. Still, it’s a no-go for a proper surf.
The final days are a total bust. Tuesday, August 4th has a clean 4 ft swell from the south with a 6-second period, and strong cross-off winds at 22 mph. That’s too short and windy to be fun. Then it flatlines again. Save your energy, folks. This is a classic summer flat spell.
Rusty.

Information about the Newcombs Hollow Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Newcombs Hollow provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Newcombs Hollow can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Newcombs 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 (Newcombs 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 Newcombs 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.
