The Lowdown
Alright, I’m not gonna sugarcoat this one. Looking at the whole 16 days, there’s no surf worth paddling out for. It’s a total blank run.
I’m focusing on Newcombs Hollow. From start to finish, every single report says "poor surf conditions." The swell energy is pitiful, barely registering a blip. The best we see is a combined energy of 74 (weak) on the morning of August 20th, but that’s still just a 3ft swell with a short, weak 5-second period and a cross-off wind. It’s not enough to get you out of bed. For the rest of the time, we’re looking at 0.3ft to 2ft slop, with periods all over the place but mostly short and weak. The wave energy is in the low double digits or single digits most of the time (4, 6, 12, 25, etc.), and that’s basically flat.
The wind is a mix of cross-off, onshore, and cross-shore, but with swell that small, it doesn’t matter if it’s glassy; there’s just nothing to ride. The water temperature is 72°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you’ll be comfortable waiting for waves that never come.
The first week from August 11th to the 17th is completely dead. Then we get a few days mid-to-late August with slightly more energy, like the 20th, but it’s still not surfable. The second week continues the same story: tiny swell, weak energy, and poor conditions. The entire 16-day forecast is a gap with no real recommendations.
If you’re desperate for a splash, the best of a bad bunch might be the morning of August 20th, with a 3ft swell from the north and a clean cross-off breeze, but with a 5-second period, it’s just fat and weak. Honestly, that’s a kiteboarding day if you’re into that. Save the wax for another window.

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.
