The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. The next two weeks look pretty flat and messy for Newcombs Hollow. We have a long stretch of nothing worth paddling out for, so don't get your hopes up for the next week or so. You’re looking at a lot of small, short-period junk and onshore breezes. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, but you’re gonna have to be patient.
The water temp is sitting at 66.7°F, which is about average for this time of year, so no wild surprises there. It’s just a waiting game. For the first week, we’ve got a run of tiny surf, with heights mostly below 3ft. The energy is weak, with values like 21 and 30, just not enough to get excited about. Winds are mostly cross or cross-off, with the occasional clean window, but the swell just isn't there. It’s a lot of chop and dribble.
We’ll see a slight bump around the 15th, but it’s still poor. A bit more energy, but still weak, around 62. Then the following week, things start to change. Around the 20th, we finally get some proper swell – a 6.9ft pulse from the NNE, with energy jumping to 391. This is a real change, but there's a problem. The wind is cross and it looks choppy. This is more of a mess than a clean day. The surf is too big and blown out. Honestly, for a beach break, this looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The standout, the one you’re waiting for, is the morning of the 22nd of September. That’s the one. We’ve got a 7.5ft east swell with a period of 7 seconds, and the energy is pumping big time at 488. The wind is light and cross-off, which is going to make it clean. The water should be glassy. This is the pick of the whole run. It’s solid, it’s got push, and the conditions are on it. Keep in mind, this is a week and a half out, so don't book the day off just yet, but it’s looking like the one to circle. It’s a powerful, clean day for an intermediate surfer, but it’s a bit much for beginners. After that, it fades out again to smaller, choppier stuff.

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.
