The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here again. Let’s be straight with you – we’ve got a long stretch ahead with hardly anything to get excited about. The whole 16-day window is a flat spell for Newcombs Hollow, so temper those expectations.
The first recommendation doesn’t pop up until Friday the 7th of August, but even then it’s a sad little 1 foot swell, coming out of the SE with a short, weak 7-second period. The combined energy is a paltry 13, and while the morning has a clean offshore W wind, the waves are just too small and weak to bother with. The water temp is sitting at 68°, which is bang on average for this time of year – nothing unusual there.
Saturday the 8th of August sees another tiny pulse, 1 foot from the SE, with an 8-second period. The morning offshore WSW wind keeps it clean, but again, combined energy is only 14. It’s a flat, frustrating pattern.
Really, the entire run is filled with tiny surf – mostly under 1 foot – and poor conditions. The best we see is the morning of Saturday the 15th of August, where the swell bumps up to 3 feet from the NNE, but it’s a messy, short-period 5-second windswell. Combined energy climbs to 42, but a cross-onshore SSE breeze leaves it choppy and crumbly. That’s the most energy we get, and it’s still not good.
For a clean, glassy moment, check the afternoon of Sunday the 16th of August – flat calm with 0.7 feet and glassy conditions, but the swell is from the ESE at a 9-second period, and there’s just no power (energy at 8). It’s a pretty still, empty ocean.
Overall, there’s no standout day. Not a single session is worth highlighting. If you’re desperate, the 3 foot NNE swell on Saturday the 15th is the biggest, but it’s a beach setup with wind chop – honestly, that’s more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. We’ve got nearly two weeks of tiny surf and poor quality, so don’t hold your breath. Forecasts can change, but right now, this patch is dry.
Stay patient,
Rusty

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.
