The Lowdown

G'day, Rusty here, and I've gotta be straight with you—this next couple of weeks at Newcombs Hollow is a tough one. We're looking at a long stretch of mostly ordinary conditions with very little to get excited about. The water's sitting at 70°, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.

The best of a pretty average bunch is the Wednesday morning, the 19th of August. We've got a tiny 2ft swell from the SE, but with a light cross-off breeze from the SW, the waves are clean and surfable, though the energy is weak at just 64. It's not gonna blow your mind, but it's the most rideable window we've got.

After that, things get grim. From Wednesday afternoon through to the end of the month, it's a real desert. There are gaps of days with no recommendations at all. We get a few glimmers, like Thursday the 20th morning with a clean 2ft from the ESE and a light offshore W wind, but the energy is still pathetic and the conditions are rated poor. The same story repeats: tiny swell, weak energy, and winds that aren't doing us any favours.

Then on Thursday the 27th of August, things get a bit more interesting, but not for the right reasons. A 6ft swell from the ESE rolls in, but it's a short-period 6-second windswell with strong onshore winds from the S at 25 mph. The combined energy jumps to 266, but it's messy, cross-shore, and looks more like a kite session than a paddle surf. Definitely one for the experts only, if anyone even bothers. The afternoon cleans up a bit with a 4ft swell and cross-off wind, but it's still average.

The rest of the forecast into early September is more of the same: tiny, weak, and poorly aligned. There's a morning on the 30th of August with a 2ft SE swell and a gentle offshore WNW breeze, clean enough to paddle, but it's barely surfable. The 1st of September brings a 1ft ESE swell with a 12-second period—a bit of long-period groundswell—but it's tiny and blown out by a fresh SSW breeze.

Honestly, mate, if you're desperate, the 19th of August morning is your best bet. Otherwise, keep the board in the car and wait for the next system. The breaks are consistent here, so it won't stay poor forever.

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.
