The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight up with you, this stretch is looking pretty grim. We’re talking about Newcombs Hollow, and honestly, there’s almost nothing worth paddling out for across the whole 16-day window. The first real nod towards anything rideable doesn’t pop up until Sunday, September 20th – that’s over a week away of flat, choppy, or just plain ugly conditions. Even after that, it’s hardly a celebration.
For the first week, it’s a write-off. Tiny swell, never getting above 1 ft, with periods so short the waves will have no push. The wind is constantly on it, mostly cross-on or onshore, leaving the surface a mess. The water temp is sitting at 66°F, which is just about average for this time of year, so nothing freaky there, but you wouldn't know it because you won't be in the water.
Sunday morning, September 20th is the first time the report even mentions “surfable waves.” It’s still nothing to write home about. We’re looking at a tiny 1.0 ft swell from the ESE with a long period of 11 seconds. The wind is light and offshore – a cross-off from the SW – which means the surface should be clean. But with combined wave energy at just 51 (weak), it’s an absolute knee-slapper. This is for the loner on a log who just wants to feel the salt.
The only other flicker of life hits on Thursday morning, September 24th. The swell picks up to 3 ft from the ESE at 8 seconds. The real story here is the wind: glass. Absolute perfection for the surface. Wave energy climbs to 128 (moderate), so there’s actually a bit of push. This is probably the best you’ll see. It’s still not a classic, but clean 3 ft waves with no wind chop? You take that after a fortnight of nothing. Just know the short period means it’ll be a bit crumbly.
So here’s the bottom line: mark September 24th on your calendar. That’s the standout, but it’s a humble one. If you’re dying for a paddle, that Sunday the 20th session is there, but it’s skinny. The rest? Save your petrol.
Stay patient, keep checking the charts.
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.
