The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break this down. Newcombs Hollow is looking at a pretty grim sixteen-day stretch. There’s not much to get stoked about, but let’s call it like it is.
Right now, Sunday the 23rd, it’s tiny. We’ve got a 0.3m (1 foot) swell from the ESE with a 12-second period. The energy is weak (46). Water temp is 21°, pretty normal for the time of year. Sunday morning has a light cross-onshore breeze, so it’s choppy and no good. But Sunday afternoon is the first bright spot: the wind goes glassy, with a light NE breeze at 3 mph. The wave height is still only 0.3m (1 foot), but with that clean surface, it’ll be smooth. It’s surfable but very ordinary – a log or a funboard kind of afternoon.
Monday the 24th through Saturday the 29th is a real dry spell. Swell stays under 0.6m (2 feet), with weak energy and mostly cross-off or cross-shore wind. Not worth paddling out. Tuesday the 25th morning has a clean window with offshore wind from the W at 9 mph, but the swell is still a measly 0.3m (1 foot).
Then we get a spike. Wednesday the 2nd of September, a 1.9m (6 foot) NE swell shows up with a short 7-second period and strong energy (389). Problem is, it’s messy – cross-on wind from the SE at 9 mph and fairly choppy. Thursday the 3rd is even bigger, with 1.7m (6 feet) from the NE and onshore wind up to 25 mph. Combined energy is strong (415), but the quality is poor. That’s more of a kiteboarding day than a surfing day.
The best window is Friday the 4th of September. We’ve got a 1.6m (5 foot) ENE swell dropping to 1.5m (5 feet), period pushing 9 seconds, and combined energy is strong (675). Wind is from the NNE at 9-12 mph, which is cross-shore, so there’ll be some chop. It’s still marginal, but it’s the most energy we’ve seen, and the swell direction (ENE) lines up with Newcombs Hollow’s exposure to NE swell. This is your best bet, but don’t expect perfection.
After the 4th, we fade back into tiny slop. Swell drops to 0.6m (2 feet) and less, with cross-on wind and weak energy. A long, flat end to the forecast.
So, the two standouts? Sunday afternoon the 23rd for a glassy clean little wave, and Friday the 4th of September for the biggest push and best chance at something rideable. But honestly, it’s a lean period. Check the forecasts – it tends not to stay this poor for long.

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.
