Hash Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cookin’ for Hash Point.

Honestly, it’s a pretty flat and quiet stretch ahead. The good news is, the water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 72°F – that’s a nice little bonus if you’re paddling out. But the bad news? The swell just isn’t showing up with any real grunt. We’re looking at a long run of mostly small, weak waves with crummy wind directions, so don’t get your hopes up for any classic sessions.

The best we’re going to get falls on Monday morning, the 24th of August. It’s a glassy start with the wind swinging south at just 3 mph, and we’ll see a clean 3 ft wave from the NW. The period is a solid 11 seconds, so there’s a bit of push behind it, but the combined energy is only moderate at 237 – not exactly pumping. The wave comment even says “surfable but very ordinary,” which is about the best praise we can muster. If you’re desperate for a paddle, that’s your window.

The following Saturday morning, the 29th of August, is another one to keep an eye on. Same story: glassy conditions with a light south wind, 4 ft from the NW, and a period of 10 seconds. The energy is similar at 235. Still, the waves are described as “surfable but very ordinary,” so it’s not a standout, just the least bad option.

After that, there’s a run of very weak surf through the end of the month and into September. The combined energy drops into double digits for most of the first week of September, with waves barely scraping 2 ft to 2 ft. Not much to get excited about.

The only other flicker of hope comes Sunday afternoon, the 30th of August. The swell bumps up to 4 ft from the NNW, with a combined energy of 409 – that’s moderate but getting closer to something. But the wind is onshore, cross-on from the west, which will mess up the face. The forecast calls it “marginal.”

So, bottom line: If you’re really keen, the Monday morning glass-off on the 24th is your best bet for a clean, rideable wave. It’s not great, but it’s the best on offer. After that, we’re looking at a lot of flat, blown-out days until the first week of September. Don’t hold your breath.

Rusty.
