The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at Newcombs Hollow over the next couple of weeks. Truth is, it’s a rough stretch—hardly any decent surfable windows. The best shot you’ve got is 27 September (Sunday morning) , when it goes glassy and the water’s clean. Swell is tiny, about 2ft from the east with combined energy of 146 (moderate), but with zero wind, you’ll be able to snag a few clean little waves. That’s your standout.
Earlier, 17 September (Thursday morning) gives you a glimpse of hope with 2ft swell out of the east, period 7 seconds, and a light cross-offshore breeze from the WSW making the surface clean. Combined energy is 55 (weak). It’s surfable—just.
From Thursday afternoon all the way until the morning of 27 September, it’s mostly a mess. Onshore winds, bumpy cross-chop, and poor quality. The swell gets up to 7ft on 24 September, but the wind is howling cross-onshore, making it a choppy, lumpy mess—no good for anyone but experts and even then, it’s ugly.
Come 27 September, that glassy calm gives you a window. Swell is 2ft from the east, period 10 seconds (longer period, so the waves will have a bit more push, but the size is tiny—good for mellow rides). That’s your one clean window.
After that, it’s back to strong cross-shore winds and lumpy junk. Water temp is about 66°F, normal for the season. Not much else to say—unless you’re into kite surfing or a dedicated set, I’d 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. 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.
