The Lowdown

Alright, let’s get this out there. The next couple of weeks look like a bit of a struggle, to be honest. There’s a lot of small, jumbled-up, wind-affected swell on the cards. We’re going to have to pick our moments.

The first real chance we have is on Saturday, September 5th. Newcombs Hollow (Big Island) is the spot. The morning is looking clean with a light cross-offshore breeze, and the swell, while small at around 3ft, is coming from the ENE. That’s not the magic NE direction we’d ideally want, but it’s something. The wave energy is moderate at 91, but the clean conditions will make it feel better than the size suggests. This is the standout for the first week.

Before that, the first few days are pretty much a washout. We’ve got small, weak, and short-period swell, and the wind is all over the shop. There’s a period from August 29th right through to September 5th where the surf is just not worth the paddle. The water temp is 70°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a thick suit while you’re watching it close out.

Things pick up a little in the second week, but it’s still nothing special. Wednesday, September 9th has some more size, around 6ft, but the period is short and the wind is mostly cross-offshore. It’s a bit more powerful, with energy at 179, but it's still not going to be a classic. September 10th also has some size in the 5-6ft range with clean conditions, so that could be an option if you’re keen, but the swell direction is all wrong and the period is too short.

The long-range stuff for September 12th looks promising on paper with 5ft of NE swell, but it’s a long way out and conditions are likely to be average. It’s one to keep in the back of your mind, but don’t book the day off work just yet.

Honestly, the best bet is that Saturday morning surf on the 5th. It’s not going to be big, but it should be clean, and sometimes that’s all you need. After that, keep an eye on the 9th and the 10th if you can handle a bit of a chop. Until then, we’re just waiting.

Later, Rusty.

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.
