The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it for Newdicks Beach.
First up, let's be straight with you: the next ten days or so are looking pretty flat and ordinary. We've got a real dry spell on our hands. The first proper surfable waves don't show up until Saturday the 15th, and even then, it's a one-star affair. The water temperature is sitting at 57°F, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The only real window of opportunity in the whole 16-day span is the very end. From Saturday the 15th through to maybe the 22nd, it's a whole lot of nothing. Tiny waves, poor conditions, the whole lot. The energy is just not there.
Then, hold onto your hats, because the whole game changes on Saturday the 29th. That's your standout. We're looking at a solid 10ft swell from the north, with a period of 8 seconds. That's a lot of water moving around – the combined energy is a massive 1085, which is strong. The wind is light and coming from the southeast, which is cross-offshore, meaning the waves should be clean. This is not a day for beginners, though. At 10ft, it's strictly for the experienced crew. The morning session is the pick, with better wind and a clean face. The afternoon sees a bit of a cross-onshore breeze creep in, so it might get a little bumpy.
Sunday the 30th still has some decent size, with a 8ft swell from the north-northeast, and the wind is still cross-off from the southeast, but it's a stronger breeze. The energy is still solid at 808, but that fresh wind will put some texture on the face. It's still a big wave day, but not as clean as Saturday.
So, there you have it. A long, slow, flat period, then one cracking Saturday for the experts. Don't hold your breath for the rest of it.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Newdicks Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

If you surf the same spot (Newdicks Beach) 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 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.
