Hash Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let's not sugarcoat it. The next 16 days are looking pretty grim for Hash Point. It's a sheltered little point, so it needs a specific swell angle, and we just aren't getting it. The good news is it's fairly consistent, so it tends not to stay poor for long. Forecasts can change.

Right off the bat, Friday the 21st through Sunday the 23rd are basically a total washout. We're talking tiny, weak surf with poor conditions. The energy is just pathetic, sitting in the 60s and 70s (weak). There's not a single wave worth paddling out for.

We finally get a little pulse of life on Monday the 24th. The swell bumps up to 3ft from the NW with a period of 11 seconds. The energy climbs to 244 (moderate), which is the most we've seen. It's still not great, but it's surfable. The morning is glassy, and the water temp is 72°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. That's a nice little bonus. The swell direction is bang on for the NW optimum, but the quality is just ordinary. You'd be out there for the paddle, not the waves.

Tuesday the 25th and Wednesday the 26th are more of the same struggle. Tuesday morning has clean 3ft surf and glassy conditions, but the energy drops back down to 141 (weak). Wednesday morning is smaller, down to 2ft, and the energy is back in the 50s (weak). It's flat out frustrating.

The pattern continues through the end of August and into the first week of September. We see these pulses of 3ft to 4ft swell but they're always accompanied by ordinary to poor conditions. The mornings are glassy but the swell is weak and, frankly, boring. The afternoons get a little cross-shore chop and make things messy. The energy readings hover in the low 100s to low 200s (moderate at best), but the waves just lack any real push. It's a lot of closeouts and soft shoulders.

Around Tuesday the 1st, there's a bit of a push with 4ft swell, but it's still not enough to get this place firing. The winds are light and mostly cross-on, which isn't doing us any favors. The surf is genuinely poor, and the scores are reflecting that.

By the time we get to Thursday the 3rd, the whole thing just fades out. The swell drops to 2ft and the energy tanks down to the 40s (weak). The second week of the forecast is a total dud, with very little on offer. Friday the 4th and Saturday the 5th don't offer any salvation, just more small, weak NW swell and cross-onshore winds.

So, here's the deal. There's no standout day here. The whole window is a wash. If you're desperate, Monday the 24th is probably the most "surfable" of the bunch, with the biggest swell and cleanest morning conditions, but you'd be scraping the barrel. This is a blank run for Hash Point, and it looks more normal for this sheltered setup. You might be better off finding something else to do.

Rusty out.
