The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Newcombs Hollow over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch.
The overall pattern is a long, drawn-out period of small, choppy, and generally poor surf. We’ve got a solid 10 days of pretty much nothing worth getting wet for, starting now. The first real chance of anything doesn’t roll in until the morning of Wednesday, 30th July, and even then, it’s not much to write home about. After that, there’s another gap, with the next glimmer of hope coming on Monday, 3rd August.
The water temp is sitting at about 65°F, which is pretty much normal for this time of year – nothing unusual there.
Now, let’s break down the two standout moments, because there aren’t many.
The First Glimmer (Wednesday, 30th July – Morning)
We finally get a break from the wind. On Wednesday morning, the 30th, the wind swings to the NW at just 3 mph, going glassy. That’s a major positive. The swell is tiny, only 2 feet from the SE, with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is weak (83). It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary. The conditions will be clean, but you’ll be hunting for any little nugget. This is for the patient soul who just needs to get the salt back on their skin.
The Real Standout (Monday, 3rd August – Morning)
This is the one to circle. The morning of Monday, 3rd August, is where it gets interesting. The swell picks up to 4 feet from the SE, with a period of 10 seconds – that’s a solid, long-period groundswell that will bring some proper shape. The combined energy jumps to a moderate 260. The wind is light and cross-off from the SSW at 6 mph, which will keep the faces clean. This is a good, clean, head-high swell. The optimum direction for this break is NE, so with the swell from the SE, it’s not absolutely perfect, but the quality of the swell and the light wind should make for some proper fun waves. This is the best on offer.
A Quick Note on the Rest
The afternoon of the 3rd is still okay, but the wind picks up a bit (16 mph), making it more marginal. After that, it’s back to small, clean but weak surf for the rest of the run. The break is consistent, but the swell just isn’t there.
So, to sum it up: Wait for the glassy morning of the 30th if you’re desperate, but save your energy for the morning of Monday, 3rd August. That’s the one.
Rusty.
