The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here with the imperial rundown for Newdicks Beach. Let’s be real – it’s a tough 16-day outlook. This beach and reef setup is exposed to the ENE, but it’s an inconsistent spot, and the charts aren’t offering much to get excited about.
The first proper window is on Tuesday, September 8th. The morning brings a 3ft north swell with a short 8-second period. The combined energy is 152 (moderate), and light offshore winds from the SSW are keeping it clean. That afternoon turns glassy with a northwesterly breeze, but the swell drops to 3ft. It’s rideable, but nothing special.
Then we hit a long, flat gap. From Wednesday, September 9th right through to Wednesday, September 16th, it’s tiny – most days showing 0.7ft to 2ft with weak energy. Wind is often cross-off or cross-shore, but there’s just not enough swell to bother. That’s over a week of barely breaking waves.
A small pulse arrives on Thursday, September 17th. The morning swell hits 5ft from the north, but with a short 7-second period. Energy is up to 226 (moderate), and it’s clean with a fresh 19 mph cross-offshore breeze. Still, it’s short-period, wind-affected slop.
The last little spike is on Sunday, September 20th. The morning sees 4ft from the NNW at 6 seconds, with energy at 131 (moderate). It’s clean with a fresh cross-off breeze, but again, nothing special.
Water temp is 58°, pretty normal for this time of year.
Honestly, Tuesday the 8th in the morning is your best bet – 3ft and clean. But after that, it’s flat as a tack. Keep an eye on the charts; these inconsistent spots can fire up when you least expect it.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Newdicks Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
