The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer at Newcombs Hollow.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window is a tough one. We’ve got a real dry spell on our hands. The surf is small, the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the quality is just not there for most of the run. The first real surfable moment doesn’t show up until Tuesday morning, September 8th. That’s a solid week of waiting from the start with nothing worth paddling out for.
The one standout, if you can call it that, is that Tuesday morning, September 8th. We’ve got a glassy morning with a light westerly offshore breeze, and the swell is a tiny 3 ft from the ENE with a period of 9 seconds. The combined wave energy is weak at 116, so it’s not going to be powerful, but it’ll be clean. The wind will be glassy, which is a major positive. The swell direction is a bit off from the optimum (NE is preferred), but for a small wave session, it could be okay. Water temp is about 70°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Keep your expectations low – it’s just a gentle session.
The rest of the forecast is a write-off. Strong winds, cross-onshore chop, and tiny or messy swell dominate. From September 10th through the 15th, conditions are consistently poor with strong breezes and lumpy seas. On September 15th, we see a small pulse of 5 ft from the NNE, but the period is short at 6 seconds, and the wind is onshore, so it’ll be a messy, weak affair. Not worth getting excited about.
So, to be honest, the best bet is that glassy Tuesday morning. If you’re desperate for a splash, that’s your window. Otherwise, it’s a long wait.

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.
