The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, lookin' at what's on the menu for Newdicks Beach. First up, let's be honest, it's a tough stretch ahead. This spot is a beach and reef setup, pretty inconsistent by nature, so a blank run like this isn't totally out of the ordinary for the area.
For the first week and a half, from Sunday the 13th right through to the 25th of September, it's a whole lot of nothin'. We're talkin' tiny dribbles of swell, barely enough to get your fins wet. The combined energy is mostly in the single digits or low double digits, like 49 (weak) at best, so it's a long wait. There's a brief moment on the morning of Friday the 18th where we get a pulse – 4ft of NNE swell with a short 7-second period. The wind goes glassy early, which is a beautiful thing. But it's still weak energy (186) and that short period means it'll be pretty fat and crumbly. It's barely surfable, and only a 1/10 call. That afternoon looks a bit better with a 5ft swell and cross-off winds, scoring a 2/10, but it's still pretty ordinary.
The only real glimmer in this whole 16-day window comes on the morning of Saturday the 19th. We get 3ft of NNE swell with an 8-second period, cleanin' up under offshore WSW winds at 12 mph. The energy is moderate (168) and it's a clean, surfable morning. But look, it's still a short-period swell at a beach break, so it won't be anything special, just the best of a bad bunch. After that, it's back to a ghost town of tiny, weak surf for the rest of the forecast. The afternoon of the 27th is the only other time it even gets close to 2ft.
So, bottom line: there's really no standout here. If you're desperate, the morning of the 19th is your only real shot at something rideable, but don't expect much. For everyone else, keep the board in the car and the wax in the cupboard. The water temp is around 58°, which is about average for this time of year.
Rusty.

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. 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.
