Hash Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.

So, we’ve got a bit of a mixed bag for Hash Point over the next couple of weeks. Honestly, the first week is a real struggle. The swell is tiny and weak, and the wind just won’t play nice most of the time. There’s one window that’s worth getting excited about, but you’ll need to be patient.

The water is sitting at 73°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so the wetsuit might be a bit lighter.

We kick off Monday the 3rd. The afternoon is clear, but with a 16 mph cross wind the surf is just a choppy mess. The swell is a weak 3 ft from the northwest with a short period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy is a paltry 98. Not worth paddling out.

Tuesday the 4th morning is a tease. The wind goes glassy, dead calm from the SSW, but the swell drops to 2 ft and the energy is only 79. It’s glassy, but there’s just nothing to ride. The afternoon sees the swell bump up to 5 ft from the NW, with a modest 173 energy, but a 19 mph cross-off wind makes it a bit of a battle. It’s clean, but not the good kind of clean.

Wednesday the 5th morning is glassy again, with 3 ft swell and 101 energy. Still too small. The afternoon picks up a bit to 4 ft and 184 energy, with a light cross-off breeze. The wave comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” and that’s about right. It’s a 1 out of 10, so it’s a pass.

Thursday the 6th and Friday the 7th are a write-off with light cross-onshore winds and small, weak swell. The energy stays between 100 and 160, but the wind is all wrong.

Then, Friday the 7th afternoon is the one true standout. The wind goes glassy, dead calm from the west, and the swell hits 5 ft from the NW with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 445 – that’s moderate, but punchy for this spot. The wave comment says “expect good surf conditions,” and it’s a 2 out of 10. For this stretch, that’s the best we get. The glassy conditions will make it clean, and the northwest swell is coming from the optimum direction for Hash Point. It’s a point break, so it will handle the long-period energy well. It’s a fairly consistent spot, so there’s a chance. Crowds are possible here, so get in early.

Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th are back to small, weak, and mostly onshore or cross-shore. The energy drops back to 96-147, and the wind is poor.

The second week, from Monday the 10th through to Tuesday the 18th, is even worse. The swell is consistently below 3 ft, mostly 2 ft to 3 ft, with short periods of 6-8 seconds. The combined energy never breaks 200. The wind is either cross-on, cross, or glassy but with no swell. There’s a glassy morning on Saturday the 15th, but the swell is only 4 ft and the energy is 156. The wave comment is “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” which is a 1 out of 10. It’s not enough to get excited about.

Tuesday the 18th morning is glassy, but with only 2 ft from the NW and 62 energy. It’s a dead end.

So, your best bet is Friday the 7th afternoon. The rest of the 16-day window is a real struggle with small, weak, and poorly-winded surf. It’s a tough run for Hash Point.

Rusty.
