The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the outlook for Newcombs Hollow over the next 16 days is a tough one to write. I’ve looked at everything, and honestly, the surf just isn’t showing up. We’ve got a long stretch of flat, weak conditions ahead, so you might want to save the wax for another time.
The whole 16-day window is a bust. From the start right through to the end, every single forecast is calling it poor surf conditions. The combined swell energy barely gets into double digits – mostly hanging around the 1 to 45 range, which is about as weak as it gets. We’re looking at tiny dribbles of swell, never cracking past 3 ft, and that’s only on the morning of Monday the 3rd of August, paired with a nasty 22 mph cross-offshore wind from the SSW that’ll chop it to bits. The period is short, mostly under 8 seconds, so it’s all wind-slop, not real groundswell.
There’s a glimmer of something on Saturday the 15th of August morning with a 2 ft swell from the ESE at 6 seconds, but it’s crossed up with a light breeze and the energy is still paltry at 38. The next day, Sunday the 16th, is a similar story – 2 ft and 2 ft, periods around 7 seconds, but the wind is all over the place, cross-shore and building. The water temp is about 68°F for the first break call, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
There are no standout sessions. No clean lines, no decent push. The wind is rarely kind, and when it does go offshore or glassy – like on the 10th of August morning with a 9 mph W wind or the 14th of August morning with glassy conditions – the swell is essentially non-existent at 0.7 ft. You can’t surf what isn’t there.
This is one of those blank runs that’s pretty normal for the area. When the swell drops out, it can stay quiet for a while. Don’t hold your breath on these long-range calls – they’re not promising, though forecasts can always change. For now, the kites might have a better time if the wind picks up, but for paddle surfing, it’s a no-go.
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.
