The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Look, I've gotta be straight with you – we're in for a long, lean stretch. The next week and a half is pretty much a write-off for any decent waves around here. We've got one blip of proper swell, but even that's got its issues.
The surf window starts Wednesday the 2nd of September and it's all pretty flat. Tiny waves, poor conditions – a real bummer. The combined energy is barely registering, with readings as low as 15 (weak energy). That carries on day after day. We're talking nine straight days of nothing you'd bother paddling out for.
Now, Monday the 7th of September is where things get interesting, but you need to be switched on. Overnight, a solid 7ft swell from the NNW rolls in, with a period of 9 seconds. The energy jumps right up to 633 (strong wave energy). Monday morning is a mess though – cross-shore winds and that size is really for the experienced crew, way over the beginner mark. The better window is Monday afternoon. The swell drops to a still-chunky 5ft from the N, the wind swings cross-offshore, and the energy is still substantial at 414 (strong wave energy). That's our one and only standout. The break is Newdicks Beach, a beach and reef set-up, and it’s inconsistent, so don't expect a party wave every set. It's exposed to ENE swells, and this is a NNW/N event, so it'll be wrapping in. With that size, a beach break can get a bit unruly, but the cross-off breeze should keep it clean enough. The water temp is 58°, which is spot on average for this time of year.
Tuesday the 8th of September morning you get a little leftover, but it's small again. After that, from Wednesday the 9th right through to the end of the forecast on Thursday the 17th of September, it’s back to tiny, poor surf. A few glassy mornings on the 9th and 12th, but with swell under 2ft and energy below 100, it's not worth the drive. It's a long, quiet run, but that's just how it goes here sometimes.
Stay patient, and keep an eye on the charts. The Monday afternoon window is the only one worth chasing. Rusty.

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.
