Hash Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let's talk about Hash Point. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty bleak, mate. We've got a long run of small, weak surf and mostly poor conditions. It's a real test of patience.

For the first week and a half, we're looking at waves from about 0.7ft to 3ft. A lot of the time, the wind is going to be light and cross-shore or cross-onshore, which won't do us any favors. The combined swell energy is weak, mostly under 100 (like 75, 88, 58), so there's just no power in the water. Mornings are often glassy, but the swell is so small it's not worth the paddle. The period is short, around 7-9 seconds, so the waves will be soft and closing out.

There's a tiny bump on the 21st (Friday) where the afternoon swell hits 5ft, but the period is still short and the energy is only moderate at 199. It'll be messy and not much of an upgrade.

Then we drop back down to that weak, unappealing range for several more days. Lots of cross-onshore winds and energy readings under 100. You're better off staying home.

The only real window opens up on the 29th (Saturday), a bit over a week out. The morning has some potential with a clean 4ft swell from the NW at 9 seconds. The wind is glassy and the energy is a moderate 183. This is the standout. It's not huge, but with clean conditions, you'll find a few fun ones.

The afternoon of the 29th is for experts only. The swell builds to 4ft from the NW, and the energy jumps to a strong 287. But the wind swings to a fresh 35 km/h cross-offshore. It'll be cleaner, but with that size and power, it's going to be a wild, challenging session.

So, the long and short of it is: there's one clear winner in this 16-day forecast, and that's the morning of the 29th. It's the only time where glassy wind and moderate energy come together. The afternoon could be powerful, but it's only for the brave. The rest is a paddling workout at best.
