The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on offer for Newcombs Hollow over the next 16 days.
Honestly, it's a pretty grim run for the most part. The first couple of weeks are mostly a bust, with barely a wave worth paddling out for. The water temp is sitting at 69°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The first real glimmer of anything comes on the morning of Thursday the 3rd of September. It's not much – just 3ft of swell from the ESE, but the wind is a light cross-offshore from the SW, keeping things clean. The wave energy is weak at 61. It's surfable, but only just. I'd call it a desperate paddle.
The morning of Friday the 4th of September is a bit better. The swell is 3ft from the ESE, with a light NNW cross-offshore breeze. It's clean, but the wave energy is still weak at 70. It's one of the better options, but that's not saying much.
Then we hit a big gap. From Saturday the 5th through to Friday the 11th of September, it's all poor surf conditions and tiny waves, often with strong or messy winds. No point even looking at the ocean.
The next chance comes on the morning of Saturday the 12th of September. The swell jumps to 4ft from the SE, but it's a short period of 5 seconds, so it's going to be weak and crumbly. The energy is moderate at 131, but the wind is a fresh cross-offshore from the SW, keeping it clean. It's still a pretty ordinary wave, but it's the best on offer in that stretch.
The standout of the entire period is the morning of Sunday the 13th of September. We get 4ft of swell from the NE, with a clean offshore wind from the WSW. The wind is a moderate breeze, so it's going to be clean and lined up. The wave energy is solid at 162. It's not a huge swell, but with that offshore wind, it's the best window we've got. The afternoon is also good, with 3ft from the NE and a gentle offshore breeze from the W.
After that, it's back to tiny, poor surf from the 14th of September onwards. The morning of Tuesday the 15th of September has 4ft from the NNE, but it's a short period of 5 seconds and the wind is a fresh cross-offshore from the NNW, so it's a messy, lumpy option for the desperate.
So, to wrap it up: the pick of the whole two weeks is the morning of Sunday the 13th of September. The afternoon of the same day is a close second. The morning of Saturday the 12th is an also-ran. The rest is a write-off, but that's just how it goes sometimes. Keep an eye on the charts, because things can change.
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.
