The Lowdown
Alright, let's get this out there. Straight up, the next couple of weeks are a write-off for any proper waves. There’s a long stretch of days coming up with basically nothing rideable at Newcombs Hollow.
From now through the start of next week, it’s a whole lot of flat, knee-high slop at best. There’s a solid gap of several days where the swell is just non-existent, with wave heights struggling to get past 1 foot. The energy readings are weak too, down in the single digits and low double digits. Thursday the 14th has a tiny bump of swell, the biggest for a while at 2 feet, but the period is a short, crumbly 4 seconds, so it won’t be doing anyone any favors. It’s a tease, not a turn-on.
The winds are a mixed bag, some mornings are clean, and Friday the 8th morning looks glassy and offshore, but there’s just no swell to push through. When there are a couple of little pulses, the wind is often cross or onshore, chopping up whatever’s left. Honestly, it’s a flat spell. I see the 17th, 18th, and 19th have the wind ramping up from the SSE and NE, but the swell stays tiny, so it’s more likely to be a blown-out mess than anything surfable.
The water temp when we start is 67°, which is 2° colder than the average for this time of year, so it's a bit on the nippy side.
The outlook is grim. The one thing that catches my eye is the period around the 19th and 20th. The swell remains small, but the winds turn more offshore (NNW), and the wave energy starts to get into the mid to high teens. It’s not promising, but at least it’s not completely dead. But with waves still around 0.7-1 foot, it’s still not breaking the surface properly.
Honestly, the only thing this setup looks good for is a kite surf on those days when the wind is solid from the south (the 17th and 18th) and the waves are too weak for a paddle. But for riding a surfboard, you’re better off finding something else to do for a while. This is a stark period of flatness for Newcombs Hollow. The swell direction is all over the place too, from SE to E and N, which shows a lack of any real, organized swell. Fingers crossed the forecasts change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.
