The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ at Newdicks Beach.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty darn flat for Newdicks Beach. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, unridable swell from now until the end of the first week of August. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothin’ wild there.
The first real glimmer of hope shows up on Friday, July 31st. Overnight, a bit of a pulse pushes in from the NNW, bumping the swell up to 6.2 ft. The combined energy hits 664, so there’s some moderate power behind it. The catch? The wind is a moderate cross-shore, and the period is a short 7 seconds, so it’s gonna be a bit messy and lumpy. It’s a marginal call at best for the morning, but the afternoon cleans up with a cross-offshore breeze. Still, the waves will be a bit of a mess.
The real standout, the one you’ve been waiting for, is Wednesday morning, August 12th. This is the one. The swell jumps to 7.9 ft from the NNE with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is a massive 1547 – that’s some serious grunt. The wind is glassy, absolute perfection. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers. It’s a beach and reef setup, and with that size and direction, there’ll be some proper waves. It’s a bit of a wait, but this one is worth marking on the calendar. Just know that it’s over 8.2 ft, so this is strictly for the experts. The locals will be out, so expect competition for the good ones.
Before that, the rest is a write-off. After the 31st, it drops back to tiny dribble for the next week. Get your gear ready for that Wednesday morning session on the 12th.

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.
