The Lowdown
Howdy, crew, Rusty here. Let’s chew the fat on Newcombs Hollow. Gotta be honest, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty quiet.
The Big Picture
We’ve got a 16-day window ahead, but for the first week and a half, from Friday the 7th of August through to Saturday the 15th, it’s almost completely flat. There’s a big gap in the action. The only real bump in the road comes on Sunday the 16th, but it’s got its issues. After that, it’s back to tiny waves.
Closer Look
From Friday the 7th, it’s all tiny, weak surf. You’re looking at 1ft or less the whole time, with wave energy barely registering. The wind does go offshore or glassy a few times, like Saturday the 8th afternoon with glassy conditions, but with the swell sitting at a measly 1ft on a short period, it’s just a mirror. Not worth paddling out.
Sunday the 16th is the only time we see a pulse. The morning of the 16th is a write-off with a strong 22 mph S wind creating lumpy cross-chop on a 2ft S swell. Skip it. The afternoon of the 16th is the only one to talk about. The wind swings to the SW at 19 mph, blowing cross-offshore and cleaning the surface up. We finally get some size, with a 3ft swell from the S, but it’s weak and short-period. The wave energy climbs a bit, but with that period, it’ll be soft. At this beach break, with the wind and short-period swell, it’s looking more like a kiteboarding afternoon than a surfing one.
After that, from Monday the 17th, it’s right back to flatness. Clean winds, like the light offshore Tuesday morning the 18th, but with swells dropping back to 1ft, there’s just no power.
The Call
If you have to get wet, the best shot is the afternoon of Sunday the 16th. It’s the only time we get some size, even if the quality won’t be there. For the rest of the run, you’re looking at glassy flat spells. The water is a normal 67° for this time of year. It’s a tough two weeks, folks.

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.
