Alright, surfers, Rusty here. I’ve had a look at the charts for our little patch, and mate, I’ll be straight with you: it’s a tough stretch. We’re looking at a 16-day window with barely a ripple worth getting wet for. The first real sign of life doesn’t show up until Monday, July 20th, so we’ve got a solid week of flatness and junk to get through. The water is sitting at 66°F, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first day that even gets a mention is Monday, July 20th. Newcombs Hollow sees a bump of swell, 5ft from the SSE, but it’s coming in with a short, weak 5-second period. The combined energy hits 114 (moderate), but the wind is a strong cross-shore from the north at 25 mph, making it a mess. This is one for the experts only, if anyone, and honestly, with that wind and chop, it looks more like a kite-surfing zoo than a paddle session. Not our day.
Things clean up a little by Tuesday, July 21st. The swell drops to 3ft from the SE with a better 10-second period, pushing the combined energy up to 145 (moderate). The wind is a gentle cross-onshore from the NE at 9 mph, so it’s a bit bumpy, but it’s the closest we get to a surfable wave. It’s still ordinary, not a standout by any stretch.
Then we get a little glimmer. Friday, July 24th. The swell is 3ft from the SE, with a 7-second period. The combined energy is 76 (weak), but here’s the thing: in the morning we get a light offshore breeze from the west, and by the afternoon it goes glassy. That’s the best we’re going to see. The waves are small and the period is short, but for a longboard or a funboard, it’ll be clean and fun. This is the pick of the bunch, but only if you’re desperate for a few small, clean waves.
After that, it fades back to nothing by the weekend. The long-range stuff is a total write-off.
So, bottom line: don’t get your hopes up. The standout is Friday, July 24th at Newcombs Hollow for a small, clean session. The rest of the time, leave the board in the car and save the fuel.
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.
