The Lowdown
Right then, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – I’ve stared at this Newcombs Hollow forecast for the next couple of weeks, and honestly, it’s a tough watch. The first solid recommendation doesn’t even pop up until Saturday the 22nd, and even then, it’s nothing to write home about. We’ve got a long, dry gap of nothing from now until then. The water is sitting at 69°F right now, which is about normal for the time of year, but that’s about the only thing that’s average.
The only real glimmer of something rideable comes on Saturday the 22nd. The morning looks a mess with a 5ft easterly swell and a 19 mph onshore wind, but by the afternoon, the wind swings around to the west at 9 mph, going offshore. That’s the magic moment. You’ll see a drop in size to a clean 3ft, still from the east, with a short period of 6 seconds. The energy is weak (79), so don’t expect power, but with that offshore wind, the surface will be glassy. This is the only standout in the whole run, and it’s a small one. That afternoon is your best shot.
After that, it’s back to a flat spell. The whole rest of the window through to the 5th of September is a series of tiny, weak swells (0.7ft to 2ft) with onshore or cross-shore winds. We get a few moments of clean, offshore wind on the 25th and 26th, but the swell is barely a ripple (energy down to 17). There’s a glassy morning on the 2nd of September, but again, the swell is tiny at 1.0ft.
For a consistent spot like Newcombs Hollow, this is a really poor run. The swell direction is mostly from the east and southeast, which is fine, but the size and energy just aren’t there. The 3ft on Saturday the 22nd afternoon is the only thing that’ll get you wet. It’s not one for the beginners, it’s too small to be a problem for anyone, but the quality is entirely in that clean wind. Don’t hold your breath for the rest of it.
Rusty.
