The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. This is a tough one. We’re looking at a 16-day window for Newcombs Hollow, and to be honest, the ocean is not playing ball at all.
Right from the start, through August 2nd and 3rd, the swell is a joke. We’re talking about tiny, weak waves—1 ft to 2 ft on the Sunday with a messy, cross-shore wind, making it a complete write-off. The water temperature is sitting at 67°, which is pretty average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The whole first week is a bust. The swell stays small, and the wind, while sometimes clean, can’t make up for the lack of energy. The combined energy is pathetic, barely hitting double digits. There’s a glimmer on Saturday, August 8th, with glassy conditions in the morning, but the swell is still only 1 ft. It’s a good morning for a paddle, maybe, but not for a surf.
The second week is more of the same. We get a few pulses of very weak, short-period swell, but nothing that breaks 3 ft. The combined energy values are all in the low teens or single digits (e.g., 1, 2, 3), which tells you all you need to know. The wind is all over the shop, sometimes clean, sometimes choppy, but the ocean just has no push.
The best we can say is that the morning of Thursday, August 13th, might offer the cleanest, most organized looking conditions with a slight 2 ft swell from the north and a gentle offshore breeze. But it’s still tiny and weak. Nothing here is going to get your heart racing.
This is one of those stretches where the forecast is just a blank run. It happens. The setups here are rarely consistent, so a long gap like this isn't totally unusual. Keep your eyes on the charts, because it tends not to stay this poor forever.
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.

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.
