The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s level with you – the next couple of weeks at Newcombs Hollow are looking pretty flat and frustrating. There’s a big stretch of poor conditions, with only a fleeting window of glassy, surfable waves on offer, and even that’s nothing to write home about. If you were hoping for a proper swell, you might want to look at other plans.
The water temperature is 68°F, bang on average for this time of year.
Right now, through Thursday 20th into Friday 21st August, it’s tiny – 2ft of short-period ESE swell – and the wind is ruining it. Cross-shore and choppy, with a risk of thunderstorms. Not worth paddling out.
Saturday 22nd August morning still looks poor: 5ft of short-period (5 seconds) easterly swell, with cross-onshore wind making a mess of things. Combined wave energy is only moderate (127). But here’s the one standout – Saturday afternoon. The wind drops to glassy, and wave energy settles to 88. You’ve got 3ft of 6-second easterly swell, and it’s the only time in the whole outlook with “surfable waves.” It’s not big, but it’ll be clean and fun for an intermediate session. Crowds are possible here.
Sunday 23rd August goes downhill again – strong southerly breeze, cross-shore chop, and the swell drops to 1.0ft with a long 12-second period, which isn’t helping the shape on a beach setup.
Monday 24th through Tuesday 25th August: offshore winds from the west, but the swell is tiny – 1.0ft with an 11-second period. Clean but completely flat. The combined wave energy is weak (30–38). Not surfable.
The rest of the week and into early September is more of the same: tiny ESE swells, cross or onshore winds, and zero quality. There’s a little bump on Thursday 27th August morning – 3ft, clean, but still very ordinary.
By 3rd and 4th September, the combined energy jumps into the 200s (227–251), which is moderate, with 3–4ft of short-period ESE swell. But the wind is onshore or cross-shore, and the conditions are described as marginal or poor. For a beach break like Newcombs Hollow, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Overall, there’s a gap of poor conditions for most of the 16-day period. The only real highlight is Saturday 22nd August afternoon – glassy, 3ft easterly swell. If you’ve got to surf, that’s your moment. For the rest, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty.
