The Lowdown
Alright, I’m looking at the whole 16-day window for Newcombs Hollow, and honestly, there’s no real stoke to be had for a long stretch. The first week is almost a write-off. We’ve got a whole run from Thursday, August 13th through to Wednesday, August 20th morning where the waves are just too small or poorly shaped to be worth paddling out for. You’ll see a lot of reports showing "poor surf conditions," and that’s the truth of it. The wind is mostly messy, and the swell is barely a ripple.
Finally, on Thursday morning, August 20th, we get a little pulse. The swell is a weak 3 ft coming from the southeast with a short period, so it’s not going to have any real power. The combined energy is a paltry 68, so it’s very weak. The wind is light and cross-offshore, which will keep it clean, but it’s just not enough to get excited about. It’s surfable, but very ordinary.
The next slight flicker comes on Saturday morning, August 22nd. The swell jumps to 5 ft from the south, with a combined energy of 142 (moderate wave energy). That’s the biggest we’ll see in the whole period. The period is a short 5 seconds, so it’s windswell, not groundswell, meaning the waves will be lumpy and weak. The wind is light and cross-offshore, so it’s clean. But for a beginner, 5 ft is already pushing the limit, and it’s not the kind of clean, rolling wave you want to learn on. For an intermediate, it’s going to be a messy, frustrating session.
Sunday morning, August 23rd, sees a tiny bit of swell from the east-southeast with a longer period of 12 seconds. That’s groundswell, which is a good sign for shape, but the height is only 1 ft. The wind is gentle and cross-offshore, keeping it clean. But it’s a micro-swell.
The rest of the window into late August is a desert. There’s no standout session, no “get out of work early” day. The best of a bad bunch is that Saturday morning, August 22nd, but even that is a stretch to call it “good.” It’s more like, “if you’re desperate and have a log, you might get a few closeouts.”
If you’re a kite surfer, the stronger cross-offshore winds on a few afternoons might look interesting, but for standard paddle surfing, this is a period to watch the forecast and hope things change. It tends not to stay this poor for long.

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.
