The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down. Right now, Newdicks Beach is dead flat – nothin’ happening. We gotta wait a bit before anythin’ worth paddlin’ out for. First decent window comes Tuesday the 8th in the morning. That’s small chest-high lines around 4 feet from the north, period only 8 seconds, but the wind is light offshore out of the south-southwest. Clean conditions, but short-period and the break is inconsistent, so don’t expect much. Still, it’s the first real chance.
After that, we drop back into tiny stuff and onshore junk through midweek and the weekend. Friday the 11th morning has a brief moment of surfable but ordinary waves – about 2 feet from the north-northwest with a light cross-offshore breeze. Not worth gettin’ excited.
Then the real dry spell kicks in. For a solid week after that, it’s frustrating – clean but tiny, barely knee-high. The break is inconsistent anyway, so this kind of blank stretch is pretty normal here.
Now, the standout. Keep an eye on Friday the 18th – morning looks proper. We’ve got clean conditions with a light cross-offshore breeze from the south-southeast. Swell jumps to about 8 feet from due north, period 8 seconds. Combined energy is 953 – solid, mid-range. That’s a good size for stronger surfers – maybe a bit much for beginners, but the
