G’day, I’m Rusty.
Let’s be straight up – we’re in for a rough stretch here. This outlook is for Newcombs Hollow, and right now the ocean is not cooperating. The first proper surfable recommendation doesn’t even appear until the morning of Wednesday, July 9, and even that is only scoring a 1 out of 10. That’s a long wait.
We kick off on Tuesday, July 8 with nothing worth paddling for. A howling 28 mph ENE wind and rain have the place blown out. Tuesday afternoon is similar—strong 28 mph ENE wind and 342 units of combined swell energy is not enough to save a mess.
Wednesday, July 9 morning shows a glimmer. The swell is 6 ft from the east at 8 seconds, and the wind has dropped to a light 6 mph from the NNE. It’s still cross-onshore, so there’s some texture, and the combined energy is strong at 731. The guidance rates it a 1, so it’s marginal—tide might mess with it. Wednesday afternoon is actually the pick of the week. Glassy conditions with 5 ft east swell, 8-second period, but only 321 units of energy. The score is a 2, which is the best we get. If you can sneak in then, it’ll be clean, but the swell is short-period and not powerful.
Thursday, July 10 drops off fast. Thursday morning sees 3 ft east swell with a 12 mph SW cross-offshore wind—clean but tiny, just 104 units of energy. Thursday afternoon is even worse: 2 ft, 7 seconds, only 57 units. It’s poor.
From Friday, July 11 through to Saturday, July 19, we’ve got a dead run. Swell under 3 ft, sometimes as low as 0.7 ft, with poor wind and energy readings mostly in the teens and twenties. There’s a long gap of nine days with no recommendation above a zero. The ocean is basically flat or chopped out.
Then on Sunday, July 20 morning, we get a little spike: 4 ft south swell, short 4-second period, but with a clean 12 mph WSW offshore wind. The combined energy is a modest 64, and it’s scored a 1. The swell is tiny for that period, and the energy is weak. It’s surfable but very average.
After that, the final recommendations are on Wednesday, July 23 morning: 2 ft SE swell, 7 seconds, with a 12 mph WSW offshore giving clean conditions. Only 59 units of energy. Scored a 1. It’s ordinary.
Overall, there’s no standout here. The best wave is Wednesday afternoon, July 9, at Newcombs Hollow—5 ft east swell, glassy, clean, but short-period and low energy. If you’re desperate, go then. Otherwise, this is a quiet period. It won’t stay this poor forever, but for now, it’s a solid “wait it out.”
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.
Newcombs Hollow is 23 km (14 miles) from Brewster. If you plan a vacation in Massachusetts, look for hotels and other accommodation in Brewster. Brewster has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
