Table - best surf conditions forecast for Newdicks Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down what’s on the table.
Gotta be straight with you: the start of this forecast is a total write-off. From now all the way through to the 21st of July, it’s flat. We’re talking tiny little bumps, mostly under 1 foot, with a mix of onshore and cross-shore winds. Don’t bother waxing up. The water temp is about 59°, which is pretty normal for the season.
Okay, hold onto your board, because it gets huge. The real action is on Wednesday, July 22nd. The morning brings a solid 15 ft swell from the NNE, but the afternoon is the big one: 18 ft from the NE with a long 12-second period. That’s a massive, powerful groundswell, with a combined energy of 8876. This is for experts only, no question. The wind is light and clean from the SSE, giving you glassy conditions. The direction is a bit off the ideal ENE, but with that much power, you’ll find a wave. Just remember, a long-period swell like this can break a bit straight on a beach, so Newdicks (a beach and reef setup) will need the right sandbanks. Crowds are listed as "sometimes," so you might have a few others out there.
Thursday the 23rd keeps the size up, with 15 ft from the NE and a 12-second period, plus clean offshore winds from the SW in the morning. Still heavy-duty stuff. The swell then drops through the rest of the week, but there’s still some fun, clean waves for experienced surfers into Friday the 24th, with 8 ft and glassy conditions on Friday afternoon.
So, the first week and a half is a total bust. But the 22nd and 23rd are the real deal – just don’t even think about it unless you’re an expert. It’s a big, serious swell.
Rusty.

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.
