Table - best surf conditions forecast for Newcombs Hollow over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let me level with ya. I’ve looked at what’s coming down the pipe for Newcombs Hollow over the next two weeks, and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch. The surf is small, the conditions are ordinary, and there’s really nothing to get excited about. We’re looking at a long, flat run with no real standouts in the whole 16-day window.
The Pattern
We kick off Saturday the 22nd with a weak, messy east swell. It’s only 4 ft at its peak Saturday morning, but it’s wind-affected, with a short 6-second period and a fresh cross-onshore breeze at 19 mph. The water temp is sitting at 69°, which is about normal for this time of year. The combined energy is weak (116). By Saturday afternoon it’s already dropping. From Sunday the 23rd onward, it’s a real struggle. The swell drops to around 1 ft to 2 ft through the rest of that week, and the period is all over the place – sometimes short and weak, other times long but with no size. The wind does clean up on Monday the 24th and Tuesday the 25th, with a light offshore, but there’s just no energy in the water to work with.
The 30th of August through the 6th of September is more of the same: tiny waves, mostly 0.7 ft to 2 ft, and the wind is often cross or cross-on. There’s a brief moment on the 31st with a very long 16-second period swell, but the height is only 0.7 ft – that’s not surfable. The combined energy values are all well under 100, often in the 20s and 30s. It’s a blank run.
The Best of a Bad Bunch
Honestly, there’s nothing to call a standout. I’d be holding out for Wednesday the 26th of August morning. At 2 ft with a 9-second period from the ESE and a moderate offshore wind from the WSW at 12 mph, it’s the most surfable window we get. The combined energy is 72 (weak), but it’s clean. It’s still a tiny wave, ideal for a longboard or a foamie, and you’ll be thankful for the offshore wind. Crowds are possible at Newcombs Hollow, but with these conditions, I doubt many will bother.
Bottom line: this is a hard time to be a surfer here. The forecast can change, but for now, don’t expect much. Keep your eyes on the charts – it tends not to stay this poor for long.

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.

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.
