The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming for Newcombs Hollow over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, the start is dead. From the 12th of September right through the 18th, there’s hardly anything worth suiting up for. We’re talking tiny bumps, mostly under 2 feet, with the wind chopping things up from the side or onshore. The wave energy is weak (11 to 66), and the water temp is about 66°, which is normal for this time of year. Honestly, don’t bother.
There’s a real gap here. A full week of nothing.
The first hint of something rideable comes on Saturday the 19th of September in the morning. Swell is tiny, only about 3 feet from the NNE, but the wind goes glassy. Dead flat. That makes for clean conditions, even though the waves are weak (energy of 54). It’s surfable, but nothing special.
Now, the true standout is Wednesday the 23rd of September in the morning. Swell comes up to a solid 5 feet from the ESE, with a clean, light offshore wind from the NW. The combined energy hits 298—moderate wave energy, finally something with some grunt. The conditions should be clean and rideable. This one is over a week out, so keep your expectations in check, but it’s the best bet on the board.
After that, the 24th and 25th see bigger swell, up to 7 feet, but the wind cranks up to near gale force, blowing the place out. That’s expert-only, and even then it’s messy.
On the 27th of September morning, there’s another small window: about 3 feet from the ESE with clean, light offshore wind. Again, not big, but clean.
So, if you’re picking your window, the morning of the 23rd of September is your best shot. The rest is a lot of waiting.
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.
