The Lowdown
Alright gang, Rusty here. Let’s cut to the chase – for the next week and a half, Newdicks Beach is basically a lake. The swell is tiny, the energy is pathetic (single-digit readings for days), and you’ll be lucky to get a ripple. It’s a long, flat gap from now until the 28th of July.
The water temp is around 58°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
The only reason to get wet is the very end of the forecast. On Tuesday the 28th of July, a north swell starts to show, but it’s messy with cross-onshore wind. The real deal is Wednesday the 29th of July. That morning, we’ve got a solid 7ft north swell with a 9-second period, and the wind is blowing offshore from the SW. The combined energy is a massive 1367 – that’s real power. The waves will be clean and punchy.
This is your one standout. The afternoon holds at 8ft, but the wind goes cross-off, so the morning is the only window for perfection. Newdicks is a beach-and-reef spot and it’s inconsistent, so a pulse like this is something to get excited about. With that size and a medium period, it can break a bit straight, but with offshore winds, it’ll be a proper session for experienced surfers. Beginners, this is too much.
After that Wednesday morning, the swell drops off a cliff on the 30th. That’s it. One day, one window. Make it count.
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.
