Hash Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's brewing for Hash Point.

Honestly, it's a tough stretch ahead. The next week and a half is looking pretty flat and messy. We've got a solid 10 days from Tuesday, July 7th through to Thursday, July 16th where the waves are just too weak and the wind is all over the place. You'll see tiny swells mostly under 2 feet coming from the NW, but with cross-shore and cross-onshore winds, it's going to be choppy and frustrating. The combined energy is barely cracking 100 (19 to 89) for most of that time, which tells you there's just no power in the water. The wind does go glassy a few mornings, like Wednesday the 8th and Thursday the 9th, but with those swells sitting at 1.3 feet, it's barely a ripple. Not worth waxing up for.

Now, the first real glimmer of hope doesn't show up until Friday, July 17th in the afternoon. The swell bumps up to 4 feet from the NNW, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy jumps to a moderate 228. More importantly, the wind swings around to a light cross-offshore from the NW, cleaning things right up. The report even calls it "clean". That's a surfable wave, but the score is a low 1/10, so it's still pretty ordinary. It's the first day in two weeks that's worth a paddle, but don't expect perfection.

Saturday the 18th loses the clean wind, and we're back to choppy onshore junk.

So, the standout here, if you can even call it that, is the afternoon of Friday, July 17th. It's the only window where the swell size (4 feet from NNW) and the clean offshore wind line up. Hash Point is a fairly consistent point break that handles a NW swell, and with the wind coming off the land, it'll be the cleanest it's been in days. It's not a classic, but it's the best on offer. Expect a few others to have the same idea since crowds are sometimes an issue there.

Overall, it's a lean run. Sometimes you just have to wait for the charts to change.
