Hash Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, it’s a tough one to call. Hash Point’s got the only data coming through, and the long-range picture is pretty bleak. Honestly, for a sheltered point, it’s not doing much. There’s a long stretch of nothing good here with scores bottoming out for days on end. It’s pretty quiet around Hash Point for the first week and a half, with the only glimmer of something rideable turning up on Friday the 7th of August.

The standout session for this whole period is Friday afternoon, the 7th of August. It’s not big—2 ft of NW swell—but the wind goes dead calm and glassy. The combined energy of all swells is moderate (158), and with zero wind, it’ll be clean as a pin for a summer evening session. It’s the only time the wave comment doesn’t call it poor. You’ll have the place to yourself; the crowds are only “sometimes,” but that calm glass will make it feel like your own private wave.

Before that, it’s a write-off. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing wild, and the swell direction is NW through the entire run. The waves are consistently under 3 ft with short, weak periods of 6-8 seconds, and there’s a lot of cross-on or cross-shore wind messing it up. The combined energy rarely breaks 100 (like 66 on Sunday morning the 2nd), which is basically weak and small.

After the Friday the 7th highlight, it goes back into the doldrums. The 8th and 9th have some glassy mornings but micro-swell, and by the second week we’re looking at more of the same: tiny NW pulses, poor conditions, and combined energy dropping back to as low as 33 on Tuesday morning the 11th. Nothing to get excited about. It’s just one of those quiet runs for a sheltered spot—forecasts can still shift, but based on what we see, this is mostly a paddle around rather than a surf session.
