The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one to write. We’re looking at the next 16 days for Newcombs Hollow, and honestly, the surf is pretty much a write-off. There’s no good swell on offer, and the wind is almost always working against us.
The period starts on Sunday, July 26th, and from the get-go, it’s a mess. The swell is weak, only around 3 feet from the ESE, but with a short period of 7 seconds, it’s got no push. The wind is howling out of the NE at 15 mph, coming straight across the face. The water is a lukewarm 67°, which is pretty average for this time of year. We’re looking at a long stretch of poor conditions. The combined energy is a measly 194 (moderate wave energy), but it’s all cross-onshore junk.
The whole first week is a mix of onshore and cross-shore winds, with swell heights bouncing between 2 feet and 4 feet, but the period is stuck in the 4 to 7 second range. It’s choppy, lumpy, and just plain messy. There’s a spike on Thursday, July 30th, with the swell hitting 6 feet from the E, and the energy jumps to 282 (moderate wave energy), but the wind is screaming from the NE at 25 mph. That’s just a windy, blown-out mess – more for kite surfers than paddle surfers.
We roll into the second week, and it gets even smaller. By Monday, August 3rd, it’s back to 4 feet, but the wind is still on it. Then it drops off a cliff. From Tuesday, August 4th, all the way to Monday, August 10th, we’re looking at swell under 1 feet. There are a few moments of glassy conditions on the 4th and 5th, but with only 0.7 feet and 1.0 feet on offer, you’d be floating on a lake. The energy values are down in the single digits.
There is one single highlight that breaks the pattern. On Thursday, August 6th, the morning shows a clean, offshore wind from the W at 12 mph, with the swell coming from the SE at 0.3 feet. It’s glassy, but there’s no wave. The afternoon of the 10th of August shows a clean cross-offshore wind, but with a tiny 2 feet swell from the S at a terrible 3-second period, it’s not worth a paddle.
In short, we’ve got a 16-day stretch with zero decent surf. Not a single standout. For this area, a blank run like this is more normal than not. It’s one of those times to get the gear sorted, watch the charts, and hope the next system brings something with a pulse.

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.
