Hash Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what we've got on the cards for Hash Point over the next couple of weeks. Straight up, it's a tough outlook. The swell energy is really struggling to get going, and the wave heights are tiny for the vast majority of the period. We're looking at a long stretch of small, weak surf, with the best of the action being very modest.

The water temp is sitting at about 72° right now, which is about normal for this time of year, so at least you won't need the thickest rubber.

For the next week or so, from Sunday the 13th through to Tuesday the 15th, we are looking at tiny waves, mostly around 1ft to 2ft. The wind does go glassy or light on a few occasions, especially Sunday afternoon (13th) with a 3 mph NW wind, and Tuesday morning (15th) with a 3 mph S wind, but there's just no push. The combined swell energy is very weak, often under 100. It's a classic case of clean conditions but absolutely nothing to ride.

Wednesday the 16th afternoon is where things get a bit more interesting, but with a big caveat. We see the swell bump up to 6ft from the NNW, but the period is a short 6 seconds. The wind is a strong 25 mph cross-offshore from the NNW, which will clean it up, but the energy reading is a moderate 223. That short period and strong wind will make for a lumpy, messy wave. This is more of a kite-surfing setup than a good paddle session, given the size and wind strength.

Thursday the 17th morning offers the best chance for a surfable wave. The swell drops to 3ft from the NW with an 8-second period, and the wind goes glassy. The combined energy is 159. It's still not great, but with glassy conditions, you might snag a couple of weak ones. That's about the pick of the bunch.

From Friday the 18th onwards, the size drops right back down to 2ft and below. The wind is often cross or cross-on, and the energy is weak to very weak. We get a few glassy periods, like Monday the 21st morning, but with only 2ft of swell, it's going to be a flat, frustrating session.

The period from Wednesday the 16th afternoon through to Thursday the 17th morning is really the only window where the swell shows a pulse, and even then, the quality is poor. After that, it's a long, drawn-out fade to nothing. We're looking at a solid week of tiny, weak waves from the 18th right through to the end of the month. The forecasts can change, but right now, it's a waiting game.

Hash Point is a fairly consistent point break that needs a NW swell, and the direction is lining up, but the size and period just aren't there. The best advice? Don't get your hopes up. Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, maybe work on your pop-up on the lawn.

Rusty.
