The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. I’ve got to be straight with you – the next 16 days at Newcombs Hollow are looking pretty grim. This break is usually a consistent little wave, but the forecast is a total dud. Water temp is sitting at 66°F which is bang on average for this time of year, so at least you won’t freeze. But the swell? Barely a whisper. The whole period is a write-off for anything decent.
Saturday 18 July starts off with a measly 0.3ft from the east, 13-second period, but cross-off wind from the south-southwest at 16 mph – surf’s flat and messy. That afternoon gets worse with 25 mph winds and light rain. Sunday 19 July morning stays tiny with 0.3ft, though the afternoon goes glassy with a 3 mph north-east breeze, but still only 0.3ft – you’d be floating. Monday 20 July morning sees a little bump to 1ft from the north-northwest, period a pathetic 4 seconds, and offshore wind from the west at 6 mph – clean but useless. The rest of that week just gets lumpy and cross-shore, with swell trying to build but never reaching anything worthwhile.
The only flicker of hope comes on Monday 27 July morning: a 4ft pulse from the north-northeast, period only 5 seconds, but with glassy conditions – light easterly breeze at 3 mph. The wave comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions” – I’d call it barely surfable. Still, clean and tiny. That afternoon the wind picks up and it’s gone. Then on Sunday 2 August morning, another small window: 2ft from the east, 7-second period, clean cross-off wind from the southwest at 6 mph. Again, “surfable but very ordinary” – maybe a log ride if you’re desperate. But that’s it. The rest of the 16 days are either flat, choppy, or onshore. No standout, no real swell. For a break that’s usually consistent, this is a rough stretch. Hang tight – forecasts can change.

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.
