The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—this is a tough outlook for Newcombs Hollow. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with barely a ripple for most of the next 16 days. The water is sitting at 68°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least the paddle won’t chill you, but that’s about the only bright spot.
From Wednesday, July 15th, right through to Saturday, July 26th, it’s a flat-out grind. Swell heights are stuck between 0.3 ft and 0.7 ft, with poor surf conditions consistently flagged. Winds are mostly cross-off or cross, but with no energy in the water, it’s a total write-off. The combined energy is in the single digits most days—essentially no wave energy to speak of.
We finally get a tiny pulse on Sunday, July 26th, in the morning. Swell bumps up to 3 ft from the SE, with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy hits 77—still weak, but it’s the best we’ve seen. The wind is offshore from the WNW at 12 mph, which will keep the surface clean. It’s surfable but very ordinary, and pretty much the only game in town. The break is exposed to the NE swell, but the swell direction is SE, so it’s not a perfect match.
Monday, July 27th, morning offers a similar story: 3 ft SE swell, 9-second period, 99 combined energy, and light offshore wind from the WSW at 6 mph. That’s clean enough to get a few grovelly ones, but still nothing to get excited about.
Then Tuesday, July 28th, morning goes glassy with a 2 ft SE swell, 8-second period, but the energy drops back to 47. It’s clean, but tiny.
The standout—if you can call it that—is Sunday, July 26th, morning. It’s the biggest swell of the window, clean offshore wind, and the most energy we’ll see. But honestly, it’s a bare-minimum session. Newcombs Hollow is consistent, but this stretch is a reminder that even consistent spots can go quiet. A few more days of flatness follow after that, with a glassy 1.0 ft on Thursday, July 30th, morning, but that’s it.
No big swells, no long-period groundswells, no standout sessions. It’s a waiting game. Hang in there.
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.
