Alright, let’s be straight with you. Looking down the whole 16-day stretch for Newcombs Hollow, the news ain't what we want to hear. There’s really nothing on the table that gets the heart racing. It’s a grim run of tiny, weak, and often messy surf. We’re kicking off on Sunday the 5th of July with a tiny 1ft ESE swell, cross-on wind, and the water temp is sitting at 67°F, feeling a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. The combined energy is a pathetic 16, which tells you all you need to know.
The pattern just doesn't improve. Monday the 6th and Tuesday the 7th see some increase in swell height, with Tuesday morning even hitting 7ft from the ESE, and the energy climbing to 360 (moderate). But don’t be fooled. The wind is howling onshore or cross-onshore, trashing any chance of a clean wave. That Tuesday afternoon it gets ugly, with 6ft and a strong 28 mph cross-onshore breeze making it a total washout. That’s expert-only territory for size, but the quality is so poor it’s not worth the paddle out.
We get a brief moment of hope on Wednesday morning the 8th. The wind goes glassy, calm from the NNW, and there’s 4ft left over from the east. The energy is moderate at 207. That afternoon, with clean skies and glassy conditions, it’s probably the single best window in the whole period. But the swell is still short-period and small, so it’s a real "make the most of it" kind of session, not a standout by any normal standard.
After that, it’s a long, slow slide into nothingness. From Thursday the 9th right through to Monday the 20th, the swell drops away to nothing – 1ft, 0.7ft, 0.3ft. The energy drops to double-digit and single-digit values (weak). There are days with clean offshore winds, like Friday the 17th, but with a 0.3ft, 14-second groundswell from the east, you’d be scratching for anything rideable. Long period like that needs a point or a reef to focus it, and even then, there’s no energy to work with. The whole second week is a write-off.
Don’t hold your breath. If you’re desperate, that Wednesday the 8th is the only real look. For the rest of it, I’d give the board a rest and watch the forecasts closely – sometimes it turns around fast.

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.
