The Lowdown
Alright surfers, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. Looking at the 16-day window for Newcombs Hollow, I’ve got to call a spade a spade: there are no good surf options on offer. The whole run is a flat, wind-affected mess with combined swell energy topping out in the weak to low-moderate range. The forecast is basically a graveyard of poor surf conditions – every single session is rated a zero for a reason. We’re looking at a long gap from the start, through the first week and into the second, with nothing worth paddling out for.
The only time the swell bumps up at all is around Wednesday the 2nd of September. We see a 6 ft swell from the ESE with a period of just 6 seconds, giving us a combined energy of 198 (moderate) – but don’t get excited. That wind is onshore and gusty out of the ESE, making for messy, bumpy conditions. This is a beach and reef setup, and with that short-period windswell and strong onshore flow, the lineup will be choppy and tough. Honestly, that wind and wave combo looks far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. It’s also over the 5 ft mark, so beginners should stay clear, and with the poor quality, even intermediates will struggle.
For the entire 16 days, the best you’ll see are tiny, clean mornings with westerly cross-offshore breezes in the first week (like Friday the 4th and Saturday the 5th of September), with 3 ft of E/ESE swell and combined energy in the 60-70 range. The swell is weak, the period is short, and it won’t hold any power. Crowds? On these days, they're only *sometimes* a problem – honestly, with surf this small, everyone will be scratching for a knee-high ripple.
Into the second week (from around the 8th of September onward), it gets even quieter. Wind states look better with more offshore and cross-offshore flows, but the swell completely dies. We’re talking wave heights dropping under 1 ft and combined energy falling into single digits. Wednesday the 9th has clean 1 ft waves with a light offshore – a total flat spell. The last gasp on the 14th of September just brings strong southerly winds and no swell at all.
So, for Newcombs Hollow, this is a blank run. A long two-week stretch with nothing to offer. Don’t bother checking the cams for a while; forecasts can change, but as it stands, the wax can stay in the car. Hang loose, or find something else to do.
