The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get straight into it.
First up, I gotta be honest with you – looking at Newcombs Hollow over the next 16 days, it’s a flat spell with very little to get excited about. There’s a real gap of surfable conditions here. The first few days are pretty much a write-off, and the whole stretch is looking lean. Don’t expect much action.
Tuesday, July 21 – We’re starting off poor. That morning, you’ve got a tiny 2ft SSE swell with a super short period of 4 seconds, and a 19 mph SSE cross wind making a mess of things. The combined energy is weak (22). Afternoon, the swell bumps to 3ft but it’s still cross-onshore and lumpy. Not worth paddling out.
Wednesday, July 22 – Morning brings a bit of a shift. A 3ft SE swell, period up to 7 seconds, but the wind is cross-offshore from the SSW at 19 mph. The water is clean, but the swell is tiny and weak (62 energy). Afternoon, things get a little more interesting: 5ft S swell, 6-second period, cross-offshore wind at 22 mph, and moderate energy (158). Still, the forecast says “poor surf conditions,” so it’s more of a choppy, blown-out mess for the experienced crew.
Thursday, July 23 – Morning has a 3ft SE swell, 9-second period, and a clean cross-offshore breeze from the NNW at 12 mph. Energy is moderate (159). This is the best-looking window of the whole outlook, but it’s still not a standout. The swell is small and the direction is from the SE, not the optimum NE direction. Afternoon, the wind switches onshore, and it’s messy.
Friday, July 24 to Sunday, August 5 – It’s a long, drawn-out gap of tiny surf, poor conditions, and very weak energy. Swells stay under 3ft, periods are short, and winds are mostly onshore, cross-onshore, or just meh. The water is about average for the time of year. There’s one brief moment on Friday, July 31 – a 1ft SE swell with a 10-second period and a gentle offshore wind from the WNW at 9 mph. That’s clean but tiny, energy is minimal (23). Not a real session.
The only break with any real recommendation is Newcombs Hollow, and it’s a consistent spot, but this 16-day run is a total dud. Even the best day – Thursday morning July 23 – is only a 3ft, 9-second swell with cross-offshore wind. It’d be small, clean, but not much push. For a point break, the long period might help shape, but the swell is too small to get excited.
Overall, there’s nothing here that’s a standout. The setup is more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer on those afternoons with stronger wind. Keep your board in the car and hope the forecasts change.

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.
