The Lowdown
Alright, let me have a look at what’s on offer.
To be honest, mate, it's pretty slim pickings for the next couple of weeks here at Newdicks Beach. We've got a real mixed bag of tiny, weak swells and ordinary conditions that just don’t line up. The first real chance to get wet isn’t until Tuesday the 8th of September, but even then, it's nothing to write home about.
Looking at Tuesday morning, we’ve got a northerly swell puffing in at about 4 ft with a short period of 8 seconds. It’s not got much grunt—the combined energy is only moderate (183). The water temp is sitting right on average for this time of year at 58°. A light southerly cross-offshore breeze will keep the surface clean, so it’ll be surfable enough for a beginner looking for a lesson, but don’t get your hopes up for any real quality. That morning window is the pick of a very ordinary bunch.
The rest of the following days? It’s a long, boring stretch. From Tuesday afternoon, conditions go downhill and stay pretty flat or messy until... well, nearly two weeks. You get a few pulses of longer period swell from the NNE, around 0.7 ft to 1 ft, but the combined energy is weak as water. A few mornings, like Sunday the 14th, have some glassy conditions with next to no swell. It’s basically a blank run. For an exposed beach and reef setup like this, that’s just how it goes sometimes. The forecasts might change, but right now, we’re looking at a surf drought.
There's nothing here that would get a local frothing. The setup’s more interesting for a kite or a longboard cruise on the glassy mornings if you just want to sit out there, but for actual waves? You’re better off waiting.

Information about the Newdicks Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Newdicks Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Newdicks Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Newdicks Beach surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. 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.
