The Lowdown
Alright, I’ll be real with you—Newcombs Hollow is looking like a total bust for the next 16 days. There’s a big gap right at the start, with no surf worth talking about. Tuesday the 28th kicks off with tiny 2ft east swell at a short 6 seconds, and a cross-shore wind messing it up. Not worth getting wet for. That same sad story holds for days: small waves, poor conditions, and a lot of chop.
We finally get a little pulse on Thursday the 30th. The swell bumps up to 4ft from the ENE with a 7-second period, and the wind goes cross-offshore, so the surface cleans up. The combined energy is moderate at 152, which is the most we’ll see this whole stretch. But the swell is coming from the ENE, and Newcombs Hollow really wants it from the NE. So it’s not a perfect match. Still, it’s the best of a bad lot—cleaner than anything else, and the only time the wave energy gets into the triple digits for a few days straight. The mornings on Thursday, Friday, and even Saturday the 1st of August have clean, cross-off winds, but the swell is small and dying fast.
The water temperature is 68°F, about normal for the season, so you’re not freezing.
Honestly, if you’re a kitesurfer, those Thursday and Friday windows with strong, clean cross-off winds and moderate swell might be more interesting than anything a paddle surfer can do. The waves are just too small and weak for most of the month, and the one spike on the 11th of August brings 5ft from the NE, but the wind is cross-onshore and choppy, so it’s not the clean setup we need.
There’s a glassy moment on the morning of the 12th of August, with no wind and a tiny 2ft swell, but it’s barely a ripple.
Bottom line: if you’re desperate, the mornings of July 30th and 31st are your best bet—clean, but small. Otherwise, the next two weeks are a write-off. Forecasts can change, but right now it’s a long lull.
