Alright, let’s take a look at what Newdicks Beach has cookin’ for the next couple weeks. It’s a tale of two halves – a whole lot of nothing, then one proper window that’s worth setting the alarm for.
Water temp is sittin’ around 59°F, pretty standard for this time of year.
Monday the 6th is a total washout with onshore wind and a blown-out 7ft swell. Tuesday the 7th ain’t much better, with rain and choppy conditions. We then hit a long, dry spell of flat or near-flat conditions that stretches for over a week. Not much to say except the ocean’s takin’ a nap.
Things finally show a pulse on Thursday the 16th of July. The afternoon brings a 7ft swell from the north with an 9-second period and light cross-shore breeze. The energy is strong at 1408, so there’s some weight behind it. It’s a bit of a gamble, but it’s the first sign of life in a while.
The real standout is Friday the 17th of July in the morning. We’re lookin’ at a clean 6ft swell from the northeast with a solid 9-second period. The wind swings offshore from the SSW at just 3 mph, so it’s gonna be glassy and well-shaped. The combined energy reads 602. This is your session. It’s got enough size to be fun, but with 6ft it could be a little much for absolute beginners. Remember, this beach is inconsistent and can get crowded sometimes.
After that, it fades fast. Saturday the 18th has a tiny clean 2ft wave, and then it’s back to flat and choppy for the rest of the run. One solid morning in two weeks – grab it while you can.

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.
