The Lowdown
Hey, it’s Rusty. Let’s get real about the next two weeks – it’s a rough patch for a paddle. We’ve only got Newcombs Hollow to talk about, and honestly, it’s a tough sell. This is one of those classic flat spells where you’ll be lucky to find anything rideable.
Starting from Sunday, August 30th, it’s a washout. We’re looking at tiny 1ft waves getting blasted by a 16 mph cross-offshore wind. The water’s a warm 70°F, which is about 4°F warmer than usual for this time of year, feels like a hot tub, but the waves are junk. The combined swell energy is a low 19, barely a ripple. This flat, onshore junk continues straight through Monday and Tuesday of next week. Knee-high slop at 1ft to 2ft with low energy readings of 10 to 24. Not worth peeling the wetsuit off for.
We get a little bump on Wednesday, September 2nd. Swell hits 2ft in the morning and 3ft in the afternoon, with a moderate energy jump to 122. But the period is a lousy 5 seconds, and it’s a straight onshore blow from the SE at 16 mph. It’s a choppy, wind-blown disaster. Thursday the 3rd cleans up a bit with a cross-off breeze and the swell reaches 4ft, energy at 113, but the period is still short at 6 seconds. It’s scratchy and messy. With those winds and the poor wave shape, this setup is honestly more for the kite surfers than anyone with a paddle.
The following week is just more quiet. Friday the 4th of September gives us a 2ft wave with a “surfable but very ordinary” tag, but the energy has dropped back to 63. From the 5th of September all the way through to the 14th of September, it’s a total snooze-fest. Swell runs from 0.7ft to 2ft, with the combined energy readings constantly in the low double digits (8 to 126, mostly below 30). Even when we get some glassy or offshore winds on the 5th and 6th, and again from the 12th to the 14th, the swell is just not there.
So, we have a long, hard gap. The first surf that’s even vaguely surfable is on Thursday the 3rd of September, and after that, there’s practically nothing for over a week. The 8th has a 4ft cross-off morning, but the period is a weak 5 seconds and energy is only 86. It’s not going to do anything.
For Newcombs Hollow, this is a stretch of poor surf. A blank run like this is more normal for the area when the conditions don’t cooperate. Keep checking the charts, but for now, leave the board in the garage.
Rusty.

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.
