Alright, folks. Rusty here, and I’ve been pouring over the maps for our local zone. It’s a tough one to call. We’re looking at a big gap of around a week and a half with nothing worthwhile. The first real chance of a wave isn’t until the second week.
Let’s talk about the only spot, Newcombs Hollow. It’s been flat and sloppy. Saturday the 4th was a total waste – cloudy, a cross-shore wind, and a tiny 0.7ft of swell giving us a weak energy reading of only 8. The water is 67°, which is a touch warmer than normal for the time of year.
We’ve got a long stretch of nothing coming up. On Tuesday the 7th, a big pulse of wind swell hits, but it’s blown out by a near gale from the east at 31 mph, making a total mess of the 7ft swell. The combined energy jumps to 344, but it’s all wind and whitewater – a kite surfer’s paradise, not a surfer’s.
Now, for the one day that stands out. Look at Thursday morning the 9th of July. The sky clears, we get a light cross-offshore breeze from the southwest at 9 mph, and the report calls it “clean.” The swell is still tiny at 2ft from the ESE with a period of 7 seconds, and the energy is weak at 52. But that clean water is the best we’re going to get. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The wind is right, so if you’re desperate for a knee-high wave, that’s your window.
After that, it’s back to nothing. The conditions stay clean, but the swell vanishes. In the second week, the most promising day is Sunday the 19th of July. The morning shows a 3ft swell from the southeast with a period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy hits a moderate 122. The wind is cross-offshore, but it’s blowing at 15 mph. It’s a long shot, but it’s the biggest, most energetic we’ve seen in a while. It’s all just too far out to be sure.
So, here’s the truth: don’t get your hopes up for the next week. The only two days worth checking are the 9th and maybe the 19th, but keep your expectations low. It’s a quiet run, but it’s normal for this area. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d keep the board in the bag.
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.
