The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks around Newcombs Hollow are looking pretty flat. The forecast is a long stretch of small, weak swell and mostly messy conditions. There’s no standout session in the whole 16-day window, so keep your expectations low. The first real chance of anything rideable doesn’t show up until Friday the 14th of August, and even then, it’s nothing to write home about. Between now and then, you’re looking at over a week of tiny waves with hardly any energy.
The water temperature here is sitting at 19°, which is about normal for this time of year – nothing out of the ordinary.
On Friday the 14th of August, there’s a brief spike in the afternoon – we’re talking a 4ft swell coming from the north, with a short period of just 5 seconds. That’s weak energy (92) and the wind is a light cross-shore, so it’ll be a bit bumpy. This is the only time the swell gets over knee-high, but the quality is still listed as poor. For a beginner, that size is fine, but the short period means the waves will be weak and crumbly.
Saturday the 15th of August morning cleans up a bit – 2ft from the northeast with a gentle offshore wind out of the west. It’s small but clean, and the energy is weak (23). If you’re desperate for a paddle, this is your best bet, but don’t expect much.
Beyond that, the rest of the fortnight is a mix of tiny 0.3ft to 2ft swell from various directions, mostly with onshore or cross-offshore winds. The combined energy barely cracks 40 for the most part, so it’s really flat. There’s nothing that qualifies as a standout here – just a long, quiet period for the beach.
Stay patient, mate. It’s not going to stay poor forever, but for now, leave the board in the car.
Rusty.

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.
