The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down in feet and miles per hour for you. This is Newcombs Hollow, and the next 16 days are looking pretty lean. We’ve got a long dry spell before any real surf shows up.
Right now, through the end of this week and into the weekend, it’s basically flat. Waves are barely 0.3 ft with weak energy (7 to 12 in the energy scale). The water temp is 67°, which is normal for the time of year, but don’t bother with the wetsuit just yet.
We finally get a little bump on Wednesday, July 22nd, in the afternoon. Swell hits 4 ft from the southeast, period 10 seconds, with moderate energy (235). The wind is a stiff 22 mph cross-offshore, so it’s clean but blustery. It’s surfable, but not perfect.
Your best window is Thursday morning, July 23rd. Same 4 ft southeast swell, period 10 seconds, energy at 213. The wind is a light 6 mph from the west-southwest – offshore, glassy. That’s the cleanest, most fun it’s going to get. The swell is under 5 ft, so it’s fine for intermediates and most surfers. The afternoon goes glassy but drops a little.
After that, it’s mostly small and messy. Waves from 2 ft to 3 ft, short periods (6-8 seconds), and low energy. The wind is often cross or onshore, making it choppy. There’s nothing exciting.
If you’re really itching, Saturday morning July 25th has a tiny 3 ft southeast swell with light offshore wind – clean but small. And Wednesday July 29th has a little 2 ft east swell with clean cross-off winds, but it’s very weak.
The standout is definitely Thursday morning, July 23rd. That’s your one real shot. Crowds are possible at Newcombs, but with this forecast, it’ll probably be a quiet session.

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.
