The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Straight up – Newcombs Hollow is looking like a total flat spell for the next 16 days. From July 16 right through to July 31, there's no real surf on offer. The whole forecast window is a dud. The swell barely nudges above 0.3 ft most days, and when it does climb a little, it's windswell from the southeast or east – not the northeast direction this spot really needs to light up. The winds are mostly cross-off or cross, not the clean offshore W that would groom it. Water temp is 66°, bang on average for this time of year.
There are a couple of moments where the combined energy bumps into moderate territory – like July 22 afternoon (148 units) and July 31 afternoon (161 units) – but even then the swell is short period (7–10 seconds) and the wind is cross-onshore or cross-shore, so it's messy and lumpy. The few mornings labeled "surfable but very ordinary" (July 27, 28, 30) only have 2 ft of swell and still nothing special. Not worth paddling out.
Newcombs Hollow is usually a consistent spot, so a blank run like this is a bit of a bummer, but it happens. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on the charts. For now, I'd save the wax and go for a paddle somewhere else. 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.
