The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get real about what’s on offer. We’ve got a single spot to look at over the next sixteen days, and I’ll be honest with you, it’s a tough stretch.
Right now, we’re looking at a long dry spell. The first few days are a write-off for any decent wave riding. We’re staring down a blank run from the start all the way through to the end of the first week. The early mornings and afternoons are all showing poor surf conditions with onshore winds and tiny, weak swell. The combined energy is barely a whisper, with values hanging around the 42 to 89 mark for the first few days. It’s just not doing anything.
Even by the weekend, the 23rd and 24th, things are still pretty grim. There’s a brief moment late on Sunday the 23rd with a 1ft swell from the ESE, but the period is a long 12 seconds. That’s a groundswell, but it’s so small it’s barely a ripple. The wind goes light and cross-off though, so it’ll be clean. The combined energy is a weak 54.
Then on Monday the 24th, the afternoon sees a bit of a bump. The swell jumps to 4ft from the S, with a short period of 6 seconds. The wind is light offshore from the W, so it’ll be clean. The combined energy is still only moderate at 114. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. You’d be on a foamy or a longboard scratching for anything.
The only real flicker of life comes way down the line. We’ve got a morning on Saturday the 29th of August that looks promising. The swell is 2ft from the SE with an 8-second period, winds are light offshore from the W, and the combined energy is 68. It’s small, but it’s clean. That’s the best we’re going to get in this whole window. The rest of the month and into September is nothing but onshore slop or tiny, weak waves.
So, if you’re desperate, mark your calendar for the morning of Saturday the 29th of August at Newcombs Hollow. The swell is tiny, just 2ft from the SE, but with that offshore breeze it’ll be glassy. It’s a consistent spot, but expect a few other heads out there on a weekend. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Beyond that, the second week is a total no-go. The combined energy values drop into the teens and twenties, with strong, messy onshore winds. It’s a write-off. For the rest of the month, the setup looks more interesting for a kite than a paddle. Sorry, folks. That’s the long and short of it.
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.
