The Lowdown
Alright, I’m gonna be straight with you. This is a tough one for Newdicks Beach. For the next week and a half, there’s just nothing doing. The swell is tiny, the wind is messy, and the energy readings are in the single digits – we’re talking 1 to 40 (weak energy). It’s flat, it’s frustrating, and I’d tell you to go find a skatepark or wash the dog. That’s a solid 7-8 day gap with no surf to speak of.
Then, things start to get interesting. The big change comes on Saturday, July 31st. The swell starts to jump but it’s a bit of a wild one. Friday afternoon the 31st sees a big 12 ft NE swell but it’s got a cross-on wind and the energy is a massive 1949 (very strong). That’s one for the experts only, and even then, the wind might ruin it. The real standout is Saturday morning, August 1st. Oh man, that’s the window. We’ve got a solid 8 ft NE swell, combined energy reading 1115 (strong), and with a 9-second period, it’s got some grunt. The wind is light and cross-off, so the faces will be clean. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers – it’s pushing 8 ft, so it’s not for the groms. The water temp is about average for the time of year.
For the rest of the first week of August, the swell drops back a bit. Sunday the 2nd still has a decent 5 ft from the NNE with offshore winds in the morning, making it a very good option, but the energy is down to 607 (moderate). After that, the swell fades into the 4 ft and 3 ft range through to the 7th, with cross-off winds keeping it rideable but nothing to write home about. The consistency here is inconsistent, so when it fires, you gotta be on it.
Overall, your best bet is the morning of Saturday, August 1st. That’s the one. The rest of the second week is just small, clean leftovers.
