The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Newcombs Hollow has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, the forecast is a long one. We're looking at a solid stretch of very small, poor surf conditions that runs all the way from now through most of the first week and beyond. There’s a gap of over a week with nothing worth jumping in for. The water temp at the start is sitting at 71°, which feels a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The only real standout, the one that catches the eye, lands on Tuesday, August 18th. Tuesday morning is the one to circle. We’ve got a clean 6ft swell pushing in from the ENE with a short period of 6 seconds. The wind is light offshore from the WNW, making for clean, lined-up waves. The combined energy is moderate at 277. This is the best on offer by a long shot, but heads up: that swell height is pushing into the intermediate-to-expert zone, so it’s not one for the groms or beginners. It’s a solid, punchy morning.
By Tuesday afternoon, the wind swings onshore and the swell jumps to 8ft with very strong energy (652), so that window is going to get messy and big fast. The next morning on Wednesday, August 19th, still has size—6ft from the ENE—but with light cross-onshore wind, it’s going to be a bit lumpy. Not the cleanest, but there’s still enough energy (359) for a wave if you’re desperate.
After that, the swell fades out again and conditions look ordinary for the rest of the outlook period. A small pulse shows up on Friday the 21st with a 5ft NW groundswell, but the wind is cross-off and it’s only a quick spike. Saturday the 22nd morning offers a 4ft NNE swell with clean offshore wind, but it’s a weak, short-period swell (136 energy) that won’t have much push.
So, to keep it simple: if you’re keen, make a plan for Tuesday morning, August 18th. Everything else in this 16-day window is a gamble with very small waves or dodgy wind. Stay tuned.
