The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. I gotta be straight with ya – the next 16 days at Newcombs Hollow are lookin’ like a real tough stretch. There’s not a single moment in the whole window where the surf is even worth paddlin’ out for. We’re talkin’ a full-on blank run from Monday, August 3rd right through to Tuesday, August 18th, with no good options on the table.
The overall pattern is about as flat as it gets for a long time. The swell is tiny, mostly under 2ft, and even when we do see a bit of a pulse around Thursday, August 13th and Friday, August 14th, with swell heights up to 5ft and combined energy reading 129 to 178 (moderate wave energy), the wind direction is across-on or onshore, choppin’ it up. The swell direction is swinging from E to NE, but the optimum swell here is from the NE, so there’s a little something there direction-wise, but the wind just ruins it. The wave period is short, 6 to 7 seconds, so it’s weak, wind-affected slop. For the most part, the swell is tiny, period is short, and the wind is either cross-off or cross-on, but never clean offshore. The water temperature is 67° with a -1° anomaly, so it’s a bit cooler than average for this time of year, but that won’t matter when you’re starin’ at flat lines.
There’s a slight uptick around Wednesday, August 12th, with a 3ft NE swell at 4 seconds, but that’s short-period junk, and the wind is cross-shore, so it’s just messy. Friday, August 14th, sees a 3ft ESE swell at 7 seconds with 178 energy, but the wind is cross-on, so it’s a choppy, lumpy mess. The only real standout in terms of size is Saturday, August 16th, with a 5ft NE swell at 5 seconds, but the wind is cross-on and the period is so short it’s just a quick, gutless wave. It’s a tough go, mate. The setup is a beach break, so it’s exposed, but without any decent swell or clean wind, it’s more a spot for a walk on the sand than a surf.
Honestly, there’s nothin’ to get excited about here. The whole 16 days is a write-off. Don’t bother checkin’ the cams for a while, mate. It’ll come back around, but this stretch is a real heartbreaker.
Rusty.

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.
