The Lowdown
Alright, let me tell ya, it’s a bit of a grim picture for Newcombs Hollow this time around. I’ve scanned the charts for the whole 16-day run, and honestly, there’s nothing here that gets the heart pumping. We’ve got a solid two and a half weeks where the surf is just… flat and sad. Most days are showing tiny waves under 2 ft, with a high-pressure setup locked in. The water temperature is sitting at 68°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so that’s no surprise.
Looking at the first week, starting Wednesday the 5th, it’s a total bust. Tiny 0.3 ft to 2 ft dribble, with the wind mostly cross-off or cross-shore, but the swell energy is pitiful, with readings like 4, 11, or 27 (weak energy). Friday the 7th has a nice offshore wind from the W at 9 mph on the morning, but the swell is a measly 1.0 ft from the SE at a short 7 seconds. Clean as a whistle, but not enough water to surf on.
We get a small pulse around the 15th of August. Saturday morning shows a bump to 3 ft from the ENE, but period is a low 4 seconds and the wind is cross-on at 12 mph, making it choppy. That afternoon the swell hits 5 ft from the ENE, with a combined energy of 197 (moderate energy), but again it’s cross-on wind from the SE at 16 mph. That sort of setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. Too messy for a good ride at a beach break like this.
The only day that even gets a sniff of a recommendation is Monday the 17th. The afternoon shows a glassy 4 ft from the E with a 6-second period, 98 (weak energy) and a light wind from the ESE at 3 mph going glassy. The files themselves call it “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” It’s a poor offering for dedicated surfers, but if you’re desperate and just want to bob around on a foamboard, you could sit out there. Crowds can be *sometimes* an issue here, but with surf this weak, you'll probably have it to yourself.
So, plain and simple: there are no standouts. No good surf options across the entire 16-day window. For this area, a blank run like this is not that unusual. It tends not to stay poor forever, but this time, the forecasts are solidly against us. Stick to the skatepark.
