The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be honest, staring at this 16-day window for Newcombs Hollow... it's a tough one. We’ve got a real flat spell on our hands. The surfable energy is just not there. The first few days look hopeless, and we’re looking at a long stretch of very small, mostly junky conditions. There’s no standout period, no real hope spot to get excited about. It’s one of those runs where you’re better off fixing the dings or going for a paddle on a lake.
The only tiny flicker of something happens on Saturday the 22nd of August. The afternoon sees a bit of a bump with a 4ft swell from the east. The wind flicks around to the southwest at 6 mph, giving a clean, cross-off breeze. It’s only surfable, but it’s the best of a bad bunch. The swell energy is weak (98), and the period is short, so don’t expect any grunt. It’s not a standout; it’s just the only thing that’s not a total write-off.
After that, the guidance window is a graveyard of “poor surf conditions.” We see tiny, weak swells from the southeast and east, mostly in the 1.0ft to 2ft range, with combined energy readings that barely crack double digits. There are a few moments of clean faces, like Monday the 24th and Tuesday the 25th, but with swell heights of 1.0ft, you’ll be floating on your board more than riding. The water temp is about 69°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so the wetsuit is fine.
The long-range stuff from the end of August into early September is a complete washout. Tiny, short-period junk from the south and southeast with onshore winds. Don’t even bother. The forecast is consistent in its lack of quality.
This is a classic case of the area going quiet. It’s normal for a stretch like this, but it tends not to stay this poor forever. Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, save the petrol.
Rusty.
