The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about what’s coming up at Newcombs Hollow. To be straight with you, it’s been a pretty flat start to this 16-day stretch and honestly, the first few days aren't worth paddling out for. We’ve got a long quiet spell with weak, short-period windswell from the east and cross-shore or onshore breezes spoiling what little energy there is. You’re looking at barely 1 ft to 2 ft of lumpy, messy stuff through Monday the 27th of July all the way into the middle of the week. Wednesday the 29th tries to push up a bit more size — 4 ft to 5 ft — but it’s coming with a fresh cross-onshore wind and only a 5-second period, meaning blown-out, bumpy waves. There's just nothing to get excited about.
Now, if you can hold out, Thursday the 30th of July morning starts to show a glimmer. The swell bumps to 5 ft from the east-northeast, with a short 6-second period, but the key here is the wind goes glassy — NNE at just 3 mph. That combo gives you clean, smooth conditions. The combined energy climbs into the moderate range (213) and it’s the first real chance for a surf. Still, the wave period is short, so it’ll be a bit crumbly and soft, not a proper groundswell. Thursday afternoon the wind turns cross-onshore and it gets messy again.
Honestly, the standout window in this whole forecast is Monday the 3rd of August morning. The swell is holding around 5 ft from the southeast, period stretches to 9 seconds, and the west wind is blowing 12 mph offshore. That means clean, lined-up waves with moderate energy behind them (460). It’s going to be a proper session for intermediate surfers — not too big, not too small, and the offshore wind will hold the faces open. The southeast direction isn’t a perfect match for the break's ideal northeast swell, but the quality of the conditions should override that. Crowds are possible here, so don’t expect to have it all to yourself. After that morning, the surf drops right back off into tiny, weak waves for the rest of the run, so that Monday morning is your one true shot at something memorable.
Overall, the opening week is a write-off, but that one morning on the 3rd of August makes the whole wait worthwhile. Stay ready for it.
