Hash Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, grab a coffee, sit down. I’ve looked through the charts for Hash Point and, honestly, it’s a bit of a slow start. The first wave worth paddling for doesn’t show up until Sunday, August 9th. That’s a solid stretch of 13 days with nothing but flat, bumpy, or just plain messy conditions. If you’re itching to get wet before then, I’d save the gas.

Hash Point is a sheltered point break that likes a good NW swell, and come the second week of August we finally get a sniff of that. The standout is Monday, August 10th. Late afternoon, the swell bumps up to 5 ft out of the northwest, with a nine-second period and a combined energy of 342 (moderate). The wind goes light offshore out of the northwest, leaving the surface clean. That’s the pick of the whole window – decent size, glassy face, and the right direction for that point. It’s not huge, so intermediate surfers will be fine, but it’s got enough push to be fun. Crowds are possible – it’s a sheltered spot that sometimes gets busy – so get there early.

The morning of the 10th is also worth a look: 4 ft, northwest, nine seconds, and glassy. Combined energy 202. Similar story on Sunday the 9th – morning glassy with 4 ft northwest, eight seconds (energy 184), and afternoon cleaner with a cross-off wind but a fresh breeze at 19 mph, so that afternoon session might be a bit blown out. Then Tuesday the 11th morning is glassy again with 4 ft northwest, nine seconds, energy 202.

So the real window is from the 9th to the 11th. After that, nothing in the forecast shows any quality. A few of those mornings have that glassy finish, which is rare for this spot and makes them worth the early alarm. The swell is small but consistent for a point, and the periods are moderate – enough to wrap into the break without being too straight. If you can only pick one session, make it Monday the 10th afternoon. It’s not a monster, but it’s the cleanest and most energetic of the bunch.
