The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s coming up at Newcombs Hollow. Gotta be straight with you – this is a pretty lean run. We’ve got a solid stretch of small, poor-quality surf to start, so don’t expect much for the first few days.
We kick off on Saturday the 29th of August with tiny 3ft from the NNE, but it’s weak energy (92) and a messy cross-shore wind is making a mess of things. Not worth paddling out. Sunday the 30th and Monday the 31st are even smaller, with heights dropping to 1ft and 1ft. The wind cleans up a bit Sunday afternoon with a cross-off, but there’s just no push. It’s a write-off until at least midweek.
Things start to get a pulse on Thursday the 3rd of September. The morning sees a jump to 5ft from the SSE, but it’s short-period windswell and a stiff cross-off breeze. The energy is moderate (112) but the quality still isn’t there. By Thursday afternoon, it’s dropping to 4ft from the ESE, with a glassy, clean cross-off wind – finally surfable but very ordinary. Friday the 4th is similar, with 3ft from the ESE and light winds in the afternoon that make it clean, but it’s still nothing to write home about.
Now, Saturday the 5th of September is the one to keep an eye on. The morning offers 4ft from the NNE with true offshore wind from the WNW. That’s a solid combo, moderate energy (198), and it’ll be clean. It’s the best of a quiet bunch, but still only a marginal call. Sunday the 6th holds 4ft from the NE in the morning with clean cross-off wind and combined energy up to 240 – decent but still only marginal due to tide or conditions.
Monday the 7th of September gets interesting in the afternoon – a spike to 7ft from the ESE, with strong wave energy (328). That’s proper size for experts only, but it’s cross-onshore and the setup here at an exposed beach break with short period (6 seconds) could be a bit of a mess. This might be more interesting for kite surfers than paddle surfers, given the wind and size.
From Tuesday the 8th onward, we fade back to small, weak, and poor-quality surf. The 9th of September afternoon has a weird little clean, long-period 2ft swell from the ESE with a period of 13 seconds and energy at 177, but it’s tiny and likely won’t wrap in well. By the 11th and 12th of September, we’re looking at flat spells with no swell (0 energy) and strong cross-onshore winds. Not a great way to end the outlook.
So, there you have it. A long drawn-out period of mediocrity with only a couple of windows where the paddle might be worth it. Stay patient or look elsewhere.

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.
Newcombs Hollow is 23 km (14 miles) from Brewster. If you plan a vacation in Massachusetts, look for hotels and other accommodation in Brewster. Brewster has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
