The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer at Newcombs Hollow.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window is a tough one. We’ve got a real dry spell on our hands. The surf is small, the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the quality is just not there for most of the run. The first real surfable moment doesn’t show up until Tuesday morning, September 8th. That’s a solid week of waiting from the start with nothing worth paddling out for.
The one standout, if you can call it that, is that Tuesday morning, September 8th. We’ve got a glassy morning with a light westerly offshore breeze, and the swell is a tiny 3 ft from the ENE with a period of 9 seconds. The combined wave energy is weak at 116, so it’s not going to be powerful, but it’ll be clean. The wind will be glassy, which is a major positive. The swell direction is a bit off from the optimum (NE is preferred), but for a small wave session, it could be okay. Water temp is about 70°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Keep your expectations low – it’s just a gentle session.
The rest of the forecast is a write-off. Strong winds, cross-onshore chop, and tiny or messy swell dominate. From September 10th through the 15th, conditions are consistently poor with strong breezes and lumpy seas. On September 15th, we see a small pulse of 5 ft from the NNE, but the period is short at 6 seconds, and the wind is onshore, so it’ll be a messy, weak affair. Not worth getting excited about.
So, to be honest, the best bet is that glassy Tuesday morning. If you’re desperate for a splash, that’s your window. Otherwise, it’s a long wait.
