The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for our local stretch.
Straight up, we're looking at a pretty bleak run for the next two weeks. The energy just isn't there. We're talking about a long stretch of tiny, weak waves with only a few windows that are even worth paddling out for. The first real chance to get wet comes around the middle of the period.
The standout session, and really the only one that gets the heart pumping a little, is Sunday afternoon, September 6th at Newcombs Hollow. We'll see a pulse of swell coming in at 5ft from the NE, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 263, and the wind is set to turn light and cross-offshore from the NW. That means the surf will be clean and should offer some decent, rippable little walls. It's a good shot for an intermediate crew, but keep in mind this spot can get crowded sometimes.
The rest of the outlook is flat or junk. Saturday morning the 5th and Friday the 11th are both blown out with a fresh cross-onshore, making a mess of the tiny 3ft NNE windswell. The water temp is about average for the season, so a 3/2mm will be fine.
For a few days in the middle of next week, like Tuesday the 8th through Thursday the 10th, the swell totally drops out. We're looking at 0.7ft to 1ft of anything, with near-zero wave energy. It's a total flat spell. The second week from the 15th onward is much the same story – small, weak pulses from the SE with clean but empty conditions. Nothing to get excited about.
If you're a beginner, that 5ft swell on Sunday the 6th might be a touch on the big side, but the clean conditions should make it manageable. For the rest of the time, it's strictly a log or a longboard situation, if you're even bothering.
So, to sum it up: target Sunday afternoon, September 6th at Newcombs Hollow. That's the only real highlight for the next 16 days. The rest is a long wait.
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.

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).
