The Lowdown
Alright, rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for Newcombs Hollow.
It’s a pretty grim run for the next couple of weeks. We’re looking at a long stretch of flat, blown-out, or just plain messy conditions. For the first week and a half, there’s really nothing worth paddling for. The wind is either onshore, cross-shore, or just too strong, and the swell is tiny and weak. The energy is basically non-existent.
The first real hint of life shows up on Thursday 30 July morning. It’s not much, but we finally get a clean offshore breeze from the WNW, with a 3 ft SE swell running at a 10-second period. The combined energy reads 119 (moderate). It’s small, but clean. That’s the best we’ve seen in a long time. The water temp is about average for the time of year.
After that, Friday 31 July morning could be a bit of a glass-off – very light west-northwest wind, which would make the surface glassy. But the swell is tiny, only 2 ft, so it’s more of a micro-session for a longboard or a foamie.
The window from 21 July through to 29 July is a total write-off. Nothing but poor surf conditions day after day. Then from 30 July onward, the surf stays small but at least the wind improves a bit. The morning of Sunday 2 August looks like it could be the pick of the second week – a 3 ft ESE swell with moderate energy (120) and clean cross-off winds from the SSW. Still small, but at least it’s clean.
Honestly, if you’re desperate for a paddle, aim for Thursday 30 July morning or Sunday 2 August morning. Otherwise, keep the board in the garage. This stretch is a tough one.
Rusty.

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.
