The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’ve got a long stretch ahead for Newdicks Beach, and it’s a real mixed bag. The spot is a beach and reef setup, exposed to ENE swell, but it can be inconsistent, so we’re not looking at a steady run of waves.
The first real glimmer of anything worth paddling out for doesn’t arrive until Tuesday, September 8th, after a dry spell of several days with nothing but tiny, poor surf. That Tuesday morning, we’ll see a pulse of 5ft swell from the north, with a period of 8 seconds. The wind is a light WSW cross-off, keeping it clean. The combined wave energy is moderate (268). For a beginner-friendly spot, the size is manageable, and the clean conditions are a big plus. The water temperature is sitting at 57°, which is about average for this time of year.
The real standout, though, is the big pulse that’s showing up on the horizon. We’re looking at Friday, September 18th, and it’s a monster. Swell height jumps to 10ft on the morning, climbing to 12ft by the afternoon, both from the north with a period of 8-9 seconds. The combined energy is massive: 1159 in the morning and a whopping 1866 in the afternoon. This is expert territory only. Anyone under 8ft is already pushing it for beginners, and this is way over. The wind is a cross-shore, which will put some chop on the face, but the sheer power of the swell is the story here. Just remember, this is a long-range call, so it’s promising but not set in stone. The following Saturday morning, the 19th, still has some solid 7ft leftover swell with clean cross-off winds, which is a bit more manageable for experienced surfers, though still a beast.
For the rest of the period, it’s a lot of small, weak, or onshore-chopped-out surf. Nothing else is worth a special trip.
This is Rusty, signing off.

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 Newdicks Beach 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.
