Hash Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. Looking at the next couple of weeks for our stretch of coast, and it’s a tough one to sugarcoat. We’ve got a whole lot of nothing on the horizon for the most part. The swell direction is locked in from the northwest, but the size and energy just aren’t there to get the points and reefs doing their thing.

We do have a bit of a pulse showing up around Thursday the 17th, but honestly, it’s not much to write home about. The water temp is sitting at a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, coming in at 73°F, which is a slight nudge above the long-term average. It’s a nice thought, but it doesn’t make up for the lack of surf.

Kicking things off at Hash Point, we’re looking at mostly poor conditions for the next week. The swell stays small and weak. The wind is a mess for the first few days, mostly cross-shore with a bit of chop, nothing clean. We get some glassy moments on Saturday morning the 12th, but the swell is only 3ft with a weak energy reading of 88. It’s just not doing anything.

There’s a touch more energy on Monday the 14th, with a long-period NW groundswell at 13 seconds, but the face height is a meager 1ft in the morning and 2ft in the afternoon. The long period is nice for shape, but there’s just not enough push behind it.

The standout, and I use that term loosely, looks like Thursday the 17th. The morning brings some clouds, light southerly airs, and a glassy surface. The swell bumps up to 3ft from the NW with a 7 second period. The energy reading climbs to 129. It’s surfable, but the comment in the data calls it “very ordinary conditions.” Still, it’s about the only time in this stretch where you could get a few unremarkable, crumbly waves to yourself if you're desperate.

After that, it just fades away again. The following week is a write-off. We see a slight bump in energy to 310 on Friday the 18th, but the wind turns onshore, and the swell is still only around 3ft. The long-period swell on the 22nd from the NW is at 12 seconds, but the afternoon onshore breeze ruins it. It’s going to be a long, flat spell.

Overall, this is a pretty stark outlook. There’s really only the one day, Thursday the 17th, that even qualifies as surfable, and even then it’s marginal. For everyone else, it might be a good time to find something else to do for a bit.

Rusty, out.
