The Lowdown
Alright, I’ve had a look at what’s coming up for Newcombs Hollow over the next couple of weeks. I’m not gonna sugarcoat it—this one’s a tough read. There’s a real dry spell here. For the first ten days, from Sunday the 2nd right through to about Wednesday the 12th, there’s just nothing to get excited about. The swell is tiny, mostly under 2 feet, with short periods and combined energy readings that are barely a whisper—often single digits or low double digits (like 18, 29, 2). The wind is a mix, sometimes cross or cross-off, but even when it’s clean, there’s no power behind it. The one fleeting chance comes on Monday morning, the 3rd of August. The swell bumps up to about 6 feet from the south, with a period of 6 seconds, and the combined energy hits 215. It’s a moderate bump, but still short-period stuff. The wind is cross-off and strong, so it’ll be clean. That’s your best shot in the whole 16 days, but it’s still not stellar—6 feet with a short period can be a bit lumpy and fat, and it’s getting too big for beginners. After that, Tuesday through Thursday the 4th–6th drops right back to ankle-biters, glassy or clean but with nearly no swell. There’s a glassy morning on Saturday the 8th, but it’s only about 1 foot from the SE with an 8-second period and energy of 10, so it’s a total non-event. The rest of the run through to Monday the 17th is more of the same—small, weak, and mostly clean but not worth getting wet for. The water temperature at Newcombs Hollow is about 67°F, which is roughly 1°F below average for this time of year, so nothing out of the ordinary. It’s a flat spell, plain and simple. I’d say hang up your board for a bit and wait for a better window.

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.
