The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty again, looking at the same stretch for the next couple weeks. I’ll be honest, it’s looking pretty dead for Newcombs Hollow.
The first little flicker is on Friday, July 31st, in the afternoon. There’s a tiny 2ft swell from the southeast, with a 9-second period, so the energy is weak. The water is about 69°, which is normal for this time of year. The wind is glassy, so the surface will be clean, but the waves are just too small to do much with. You might find a little knee-high bump, but it’s nothing special.
After that, it’s a long, hard road. From Saturday morning, August 1st, all the way through to Saturday, August 15th, every single report says “poor surf conditions.” That’s a full two-week stretch with almost nothing. The swell never really gets above 2ft, and the wind is either too strong or from the wrong direction. The biggest bump we see is a 4ft, 5-second windswell on Monday, August 3rd, but with a 19 mph cross-offshore wind, it’s going to be a total washout.
The swell direction is mostly from the south and southeast, which is not what this break likes. It needs northeast swell to really work, and it’s just not getting it. The periods are short, under 8 seconds, so there’s no punch. For a spot that’s usually consistent, this is a real downer. The only hope is that these flat spells don’t usually last forever, so we’ll see what the next update brings.
Hang tight, there’s nothing worth paddling out for right now.
Rusty.

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.
