The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let me tell you straight up: this 16-day window is a tough one for Newcombs Hollow (California). The pattern is basically flat and messy for days on end, with a few pop-ups of size that get ruined by lousy wind.
We kick off on Tuesday the 15th with a weak, short-period 3.9ft NNE windswell, but it’s blown out by a cross-onshore breeze. Combined energy is weak at (94). Hopeless. That carries through the rest of the week. Wednesday and Thursday the 17th drop to a tiny 1.6ft from the east, with a period of just 7 seconds. The one saving grace is that Thursday afternoon turns glassy – dead calm – but with that little energy (35), there’s nothing to actually ride.
There’s a lull of no real surf to speak of from Friday the 18th through the 22nd. Tiny dribbles in the 1.0ft to 1.3ft range, weak energy under 100, and mostly onshore or strong winds. Not worth paddling out.
The first interesting pulse shows up on Monday the 21st. We see a jump to 6.6ft from the NNE, with combined energy hitting a moderate (403). The problem? It’s a short-period 7-second windswell, and the wind is a moderate cross-onshore, so it’ll be a choppy, lumpy mess. That’s too big for beginners at 6.6ft, and the quality is poor for everyone else.
The real standout, if you can call it that, sneaks in on Monday the 28th. The swell builds again, 5.2ft from the NNE with a period of only 6 seconds. The combined energy is solidly moderate at (299), but again the cross-onshore wind ruins the surface. It’s a beach break setup, so with that poor quality and strong wind, this actually looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The same goes for the rest of that week leading into the end of September – bursts of size but never clean.
Overall, there are zero good surf days in this entire 16-day run. Every time there’s enough swell, the wind is wrong. This blank run is a normal pattern for this area when the wind and swell don’t sync up. Forecasts can change, but right now, leave the board at home.

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.
