The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Newcombs Hollow.
Honestly, I’m looking at a grim 16-day window. There’s a big fat gap at the start with absolutely nothing on offer. The first bit of swell that even registers is a tiny 3 ft from the SE on Thursday the 23rd, but the wind is all wrong—cross-shore and messy. It’s a no-go. After that, we’re stuck in a rut. For days on end, the swell is tiny, the period is short, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore. The combined energy stays in the weak zone, and the wave comment is always “poor surf conditions.” From the 24th of July right through to the 6th of August, it’s a parade of flat, blown-out, or tiny, choppy junk. There’s a few moments of clean conditions with offshore or cross-off winds, like on the 31st of July morning and the 2nd of August morning, but the swell is a pathetic 2 ft or 0.7 ft. There’s just no power behind it.
There are no standouts. No best on offer. This is a total write-off for surfing.
The water temperature is sitting at 66°, which is about normal for the time of year, so at least you won’t freeze if you’re just having a swim. The wind is often strong, sometimes hitting 22 mph, and with the tiny, weak swell, this setup at Newcombs Hollow looks far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. We just have to wait and hope the forecasts change. This kind of blank run is more normal for the area when the stars don't align.
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.
