Hash Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Hash Point is serving up over the next couple of weeks.

To be brutally honest, the whole 16-day window looks flat and frustrating. We’ve got a solid run of days where the swell is just too weak and the wind is messy. The water temp is sitting at 70°F, which is about average for the time of year.

The first real chance we see of anything rideable is Thursday afternoon, August 5th. That’s when a 5ft NW swell (period 8 seconds) pushes through with a clean cross-offshore breeze from the NW at 15 mph. The combined energy climbs to 255 (moderate), and the wave comment says “clean.” That’s our best look for the whole outlook. It’s a little beefy for beginners, but for an intermediate, that’s the one to circle. The break is fairly consistent, and the optimum swell direction is NW, so the angle is right. Crowds are possible at Hash Point, so expect a few others with the same idea.

After that, Thursday afternoon August 6th sees a bigger pulse – 6ft from the NNW (period 7 seconds) with another clean cross-offshore breeze from the NW at 15 mph. The combined energy jumps to 352 (still moderate). That’s a solid wave, but with short period and a beach-break setup, it might be a bit walled. Still, for the experienced surfer, that’s a fun afternoon.

The rest of the period is a write-off. There’s a long gap from now until August 5th with nothing worth paddling out for, and after August 6th, the swell drops back into the pathetic range. A few glassy mornings pop up on the 7th, 10th, and 11th, but the swell is tiny (3ft to 3ft) and weak. You’d be fighting for a knee-high lump.

Bottom line: If you’re keen, aim for the afternoon of August 5th or the 6th. That’s where the quality sits. The rest is a waiting game.

Rusty.
