Hash Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch ahead for our little corner of the coast. We’re looking at Hash Point, and for the next two weeks, the waves are just not cooperating.

The whole outlook is pretty flat and messy. From Friday the 3rd of July right through to the 13th, we’re looking at tiny, weak swell – nothing over 3 ft - and almost no decent windows of clean surf. Most days are plagued by onshore or cross-shore winds, and the swell energy is shockingly low, mostly under 100 (weak). There’s a long gap here with zero recommendations; the waves just aren’t doing anything for paddle surfing.

The water temp is pretty average for the time of year, nothing wild to report.

Now, things get a *tiny* bit more interesting on Tuesday the 14th of July. For the Tuesday morning session, we get a bump. The swell is still small at 3 ft from the NW with an 8-second period, but the wind goes glassy. Zero wind. That calm will make the small waves clean and smooth. The combined energy finally nudges into the moderate range at (143). For the first time in a while, it’s glassy and there’s enough push for a longboard or a funboard. That’s the best we’ve got – but it’s not a ripper.

Keep in mind this is Hash Point (sheltered, point break). It’s fairly consistent in general, but even it can’t make much of this. For most of this period, the setup is a better bet for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, given the higher winds and poor quality of the waves.

After that Tuesday morning tease, it drops back into poor conditions again through the rest of the week. The 18th of July shows a touch more size (3 ft) and better energy (184), but it’s onshore wind, so don’t get too excited. It’s one to watch if the wind shifts, but it’s not a sure thing this far out.

So, for the hardcore locals who are itching to get wet: your only real shot is that glassy Tuesday morning, 14th of July. It won't be epic, but it’ll be clean.
