Hash Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s look at the charts for Hash Point.

The overall picture isn’t great. We’re looking at a pretty flat stretch for the next week and a half. There’s no real punch in the water until the very end of the period, and even then, it’s not much to write home about. The combined swell energy sits below 100 all the way through the first week, with a lot of days barely getting out of the 30s and 40s. The low numbers confirm the weak energy.

You can forget about this week. From Sunday the 16th right through to Wednesday the 27th, the wave comment is "poor surf conditions" across the board. There are a few glassy mornings, like Tuesday the 18th, Wednesday the 19th, Thursday the 20th, and Friday the 21st in the a.m., but the swell is tiny – only 1 ft to 2 ft from the NW with a short period of 6 to 8 seconds. That’s barely a ripple. The wind is light, even glassy at times, so the water would look nice, but there’s simply no push.

The first flicker of something comes on Thursday the 27th in the morning. For the first time, the comment moves to "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions". The swell comes up to 3 ft from the NW at 8 seconds period, and the combined energy hits 122 – that’s still in the weak to moderate range, but it’s the best we’ve seen in a fortnight. The wind is glassy from the SSE, so it would be clean. But the swell direction is NW, while this break (Hash Point) does best with a NW optimum direction, so that part is okay. Still, the quality is ordinary and the wave height is small.

After that, Friday the 28th through Monday the 31st drops back down to poor conditions with swell around 2 ft to 3 ft from the NW.

Honestly, there are no standout days here. The only session that might tempt you out is Thursday the 27th morning, and that’s being generous. Don’t expect barrels – it’s a summer dribbler at best. For a sheltered point like Hash Point, you need a bit more juice to get it working properly.

So, to sum it up: we’ve got a solid 11-day dry spell from the 16th to the 26th with basically nothing. The 27th morning offers a brief, glassy window of weak, small waves. Don’t rearrange your life for it. Crowds are listed as "sometimes" here, and with waves this small, it’ll probably be quiet anyway.

Keep an eye on it, but get your gear ready for another time.

Rusty.
