The Lowdown
Right, grab a cuppa and let’s have a look at this Newcombs Hollow forecast. I’ve been staring at the charts and, well, it’s a tale of two halves. For the next week and a half, we’re looking at mostly small, messy, and crossed-up conditions. The real action, the one that’s got my attention, doesn't show up until the very end of the run. The water temp here is sitting at 71°, which is a touch warmer than what you’d usually expect for this time of year, so you might get away with a thinner suit.
The first week, starting Saturday the 15th, is a write-off. Tiny little 1ft to 2ft swells from all over the compass, mixed with onshore and cross-shore winds. It’s just bumpy, weak, and not worth paddling out for. The combined swell energy is barely registering, often below 50 (low energy), so don't get your hopes up. There’s a brief glimmer on Thursday the 20th afternoon when it goes glassy with a light 2ft ESE swell, but that energy is still only 34, so it’s going to be tiny and weak. That little clean spell is about as good as it gets until... well, you'll need to be patient.
You’re looking at a whole stretch of similar micro-swell and bumpy conditions right through the 28th of August. Honestly, unless you’re a kite surfer looking for some breeze, the paddle surfing is a non-starter. The setup here is a beach break, and with the wind and swell being what it is, the conditions just aren't right.
Now, here’s the standout. Mark your calendar for Friday the 28th of August. Something wakes up. We get a solid 5ft NE swell rolling in, with a combined swell energy of 190 (moderate wave energy). It’s a proper increase in size. The wind is from the N at 12 mph, making it a cross-shore breeze. It won’t be glassy, but the extra size and power should make for some good, punchy waves at this exposed break. This is the best bet on the entire forecast. The swell direction from the NE matches the break’s optimum direction perfectly. Saturday the 29th still has some size, around 3ft to 3ft, but the wind swings onshore, so that Friday is definitely the session to target. Close to a week out, so keep your fingers crossed, but this is the one to aim for.
