The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break down the next couple of weeks for Newdicks Beach.
It’s a pretty bleak start, mates. From Saturday the 5th all the way through to Monday the 14th, there’s barely a ripple worth talking about. The swell is tiny, the energy is feeble (45), and the wind is mostly cross or cross-off, but with nothing to work with, it’s just a flat, choppy mess. Tuesday the 8th morning goes glassy, but with a 4ft north swell, it’s just too weak. The water temp is 57°, which is normal for the season, nothing special.
The only real highlight is a long way out. On Thursday the 17th, the morning brings a solid 8ft north swell with a 9-second period. That’s got some real grunt, with the energy reading 856. That’s a powerful, proper swell. But the wind is cross-shore, so expect some bumps, and the conditions are called marginal. Since it’s over 8ft, this is experts-only. Newdicks is a beach and reef setup, and it’s an inconsistent spot, so don’t expect perfection. Still, for a big-wave surfer, that Thursday morning is the best bet in the whole window. Just remember, it’s a long-range forecast, so take it with a pinch of salt.
Friday the 18th still has some size, 5ft in the morning, but the wind is onshore, so it’ll be messy. Saturday the 19th morning goes glassy again with a 4ft north swell, so at least it’s clean, but nothing special.
So, a long dry spell, then one big, powerful, and slightly messy push for the experts on the 17th. That’s your best shot.

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.
