The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Newcombs Hollow.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window is a tough one for Newcombs Hollow. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with barely a ripple worth paddling for, especially in the first week. The surf is small, the energy is weak, and the wind is often messy. There’s a big gap of poor surf from the start right through to the 29th of July, and even then, it’s not a classic.
The one real standout, and I mean the *only* one that gets my blood moving a little, is the morning of Thursday, the 30th of July. We’ve got a 3ft swell coming from the NE, and the wind is light offshore from the WSW. That’s glassy, clean conditions. The water temp is sitting at 65°F, which is about what you’d expect for this time of year, nothing wild. The combined energy is moderate at 122, but with that short period of 6 seconds, it’s not gonna be a world-beater. Still, it’s the best of a bad bunch. The break is consistent, so you’ll get a few. That afternoon, the wind goes glassy, but the swell drops to 2ft.
Another little moment to watch is Wednesday the 29th of July. The swell bumps up to 5ft from the ENE (energy hitting 398) but it’s cross-on from the NNE. That’s gonna be a bit lumpy. Still, for a bigger wave, it’s your only shot. The afternoon of the 29th pushes 7ft from the NNE, but it’s cross-shore and the conditions are only marginal. That size is heading into expert territory, so be careful.
After the 30th, it’s back to square one. The rest of the run into the first week of August is tiny, weak, and mostly blown out or onshore. The 3rd of August has a 25 mph NW wind, which is clean and cross-off, but the swell is a pathetic 2ft from the SE. Not worth the drive. The 6th of August has a glassy moment in the afternoon with a 2ft S swell, but it’s a 4-second period, so it’s basically a lake.
Honestly, for a spot that’s usually consistent, this is a grim run. If you’ve got a kiteboard, the 29th of July with that 7ft swell and cross-onshore wind might be more your speed than a paddle. But for us surfers, mark your calendar for the morning of the 30th of July. That’s your window.

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.
