Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks in the old units.
Honestly, mate, it’s a tough stretch. We’re looking at a real flat spell to kick things off, and it’s going to be a long wait for anything that even gets the heart pumping. The first few days are a write-off for surfing, with nothing but tiny, weak lines. We’re talking about a gap of over a week with no real recommendations, just small, messy conditions.
The first faint glimmer of hope shows up around the 19th of July, but even then it’s a rough one. Sunday morning, the swell from the ESE is pushing in at about 3ft, but the period is a short, weak 4 seconds. The wind is onshore from the East at 12 mph, so it’s going to be bumpy. The combined energy is only 51, so it’s pretty weak. Later in the day, the swell bumps up a touch to about 4ft, with a period of 6 seconds and onshore wind at 16 mph, giving a combined energy of 100. It’s still poor surf, though. The break is Newcombs Hollow, a consistent intermediate spot that’s exposed to the swell, but it’s just not coming together here. The water temperature is about average for this time of year.
If you’re desperate for a paddle, the best of a bad bunch might be the 21st of July. Tuesday morning, we get a 2ft swell from the South, with a period of 4 seconds and a clean, cross-offshore wind from the Southwest at 9 mph. The energy is still low at 26, but it’ll be the cleanest you’ll see for a while. Tuesday afternoon, the swell builds to about 3ft from the South, with a stronger cross-offshore breeze at 19 mph, and the energy climbs to 47. It’s still small and weak, but it’s clean.
The 24th of July, Friday, offers a similar story. Both morning and afternoon, we have a clean, cross-offshore wind from the Southwest, with a small 2ft to 2ft swell from the South-east. The period is only 7 seconds, and the energy is low, between 27 and 35. It’s not going to be a standout, but it’s the cleanest option in the second week.
To be honest, nothing here is a true standout. It’s a flat, quiet period for Newcombs Hollow. The few options that do pop up are small and lack the energy to make it worthwhile. You’d be better off waiting for the next system to roll through, because this one isn’t delivering.
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.
