The Lowdown
Right, how's it goin'? Rusty here. I've taken a long, hard look at what's cookin' for Newcombs Hollow over the next couple of weeks, and I've got to be straight with you—it's a pretty grim stretch for getting a wave. We're looking at a solid 12-day run of ordinary to poor conditions until we finally see a little light on the 29th of August.
The first week and a half, from the 17th right through to the 28th of August, is a write-off. The swell is tiny, mostly between 0.7ft and 3.3ft, and the wind is almost always wrong. It's cross, cross-on, or onshore for the vast majority of that time, with a couple of glassy or cross-off moments that still only deliver poor surf. There's no energy to work with, with the combined energy sitting in the weak to moderate range, mostly well under 100 (25 to 111). It's just not worth paddling out for that mess.
Now, there is a glimmer on Sunday the 25th and Friday the 28th of August, but with a score of only 1 out of 10 for "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," that's about as faint a glimmer as you can get. The only real standout, and I mean the *only* one, arrives on Saturday the 29th of August.
That morning, the 29th of August, is the pick of the entire 16-day period. We've got a 1.6ft swell from the southeast, but get this—it's running on a very long, clean 13-second period. The combined energy jumps right up to a solid 213, which is moderate but punchy for that size. And the wind? A light breeze from the northwest, which is cross-offshore and will have the surface glassy. That is the one session to circle on your calendar, just keep in mind that long period can make a beach break close out a bit straight.
The afternoon of the 29th shows a bigger 3.6ft swell from the SE, but the period drops to 12 seconds and it goes a bit lumpy with a cross-shore wind, so it's not as clean as the morning session. The Sunday the 30th morning is also surfable with that 3.6ft SE swell at a 9-second period, but the energy is solid at 294, and it's a light cross-shore, so not as perfect as that Saturday morning.
So, there you have it. A long, flat, choppy slog, saved by one promising morning on the 29th of August. Keep your eyes on that one.

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.
