The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I’ve got the skinny on the next 16 days for Newcombs Hollow. Let me tell you, right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s grim. We’re staring down a long spell of flatness and messy onshore junk that’s gonna make you want to wax your board just to have something to do with your hands. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for a proper paddle.
Right now, it’s Wednesday the 29th of July, and we’ve got a weak, blown-out 4 ft swell from the ESE, but a fresh breeze is tearing it up, making it gutless and lumpy. That energy reading is a measly 68, just a whisper. That’s the story for the next few days – poor-quality, short-period windswell with cross to onshore winds blowing 15-22 mph. Thursday the 30th sees a slightly bigger 5 ft swell from the east, but that energy’s still only moderate at 176, and it’s gonna be choppy. Through Friday, it drops again, all messy.
We hit a total flat spell from Saturday the 1st of August onwards. The swell drops to 2 ft and then to a pathetic 1.0 ft by Sunday the 2nd. There’s a moment on Sunday morning where it’s glassy, but with a 1.0 ft wave and a combined energy of just 12, there’s literally nothing to ride. The whole first week is a bust.
The situation doesn't improve a whole lot in the second week. From Monday the 3rd right through to Thursday the 13th of August, we're talking almost entirely flat surf. There’s the smallest pulse of energy on the 9th of August, with readings around 31 and 36, but that’s still in the weak zone, with swell heights hanging around 1.0 ft to 1 ft. The wind does turn clean and offshore at times, like on the 4th, 5th, and 7th, but it’s offshore on nothing – a 0.3 ft wave with an energy of 2 isn't even a ripple. You’d be floating on your board waiting for a fish to jump.
Forget about the wave quality score; there’s nothing to score. This is one of those frustrating blank runs. For the whole forecast period, there is simply no surf worthy of a recommendation. It’s a total dud. The best thing you can do is go for a longboard skate and keep an eye on the charts for a change.
