Newdicks Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let's get into it. Rusty here.

First up, we've got a run of decent conditions kicking off on Monday, August 10th at Newdicks Beach. It’s a beach and reef set-up that’s exposed to the swell. The water temp is sitting at 57°, which is about 1° cooler than normal for this time of year, so pretty standard.

Monday morning is looking like the best bet for the whole window. We’ve got a clean 5ft swell pushing in from the north, with an 8-second period. The combined energy is solid at (304). Wind is a light 3 mph from the southwest, blowing cross-offshore, so the surface will be clean. It’s a bit inconsistent here, but when it’s on, it’ll be fun for beginners. Monday afternoon stays surfable at 4ft, though the wind picks up a bit from the west at 9 mph, still cross-off.

Tuesday, August 11th, starts off glassy with a 4ft north swell. The wind is a dead calm 3 mph from the south. The waves are small and the energy drops to (153), but that glassy surface will make it look pretty. It’s surfable, just very ordinary. The afternoon turns to a light cross-onshore and that’s it for the quality.

From Wednesday the 12th all the way through to Sunday the 23rd of August, it gets pretty ugly. There’s a long stretch of poor conditions. Winds swing onshore and the swell stays messy. There’s a brief pulse of bigger swell around the 14th and 15th, with waves hitting 5ft and energy up to (345), but with onshore winds and rain, it’s a write-off. I wouldn’t even bother paddling out for that – it looks more like a kite-surfing setup with the bumpy conditions.

We get a small window of relief late in the run. On Sunday the 16th, the swell drops to 2ft to 3ft from the east and east-northeast, with a 9 to 10-second period. The wind goes cross-offshore and the energy is low at (105) to (110). The waves are tiny, but clean. Worth a look for a longboard or a foiler, but not much else.

After that, it’s pretty much flat or junk until the very end of the forecast. There’s a possible pulse on Tuesday, August 25th, with a 4ft to 5ft north-northeast swell and a 10-second period. Energy bumps up to (363), but the wind is cross-shore and the session quality is called marginal. It’s far out and unreliable, so keep an eye on it, but don’t hold your breath.

Overall, the first Monday morning is the standout. Don’t sleep on it.

Rusty.
