Hash Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – the next 16 days at Hash Point are a quiet stretch. There’s nothing on the table that I’d call a proper session. The whole run is a tough one, with only small, weak swell and mostly meh winds. The first real bump in energy doesn’t show until Saturday the 15th in the morning, and even that’s ordinary.

The water at Hash Point is running at 72°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year – you’ll notice it, but it’s nothing wild.

Wednesday 12th August through to Friday 14th – forget it. Swell sits at a measly 2 ft from the NW, period around 6–9 seconds, and the combined energy barely cracks 100 (59–110). Winds are mostly light cross-onshore or cross, with a few glassy moments on Friday morning, but the surf is just too poor to bother.

Saturday 15th August morning is the closest we get to a pulse. Swell lifts to 3 ft from the NW, with an 8-second period and combined energy hitting 136 – still weak. The wind goes glassy, so it’ll be clean, but the wave comment says it all: “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” It’s not a standout, just the least bad option. The afternoon sees a bump to 4 ft but with cross-onshore wind, it’s messy.

Sunday 16th drops back to 3 ft, and Monday 17th morning is glassy again but only 3 ft from the NW (9-second period, energy 92). Clean but tiny.

The rest of the week into the second week basically repeats the same story: swell stays below 3 ft, periods between 6–10 seconds, and combined energy rarely above 100. Winds are light cross-onshore or glassy early, but the surf quality remains poor.

Friday 21st afternoon sees a brief spike to 5 ft from the NW (7-second period, energy 204), but it’s a short-period, cross-shore chop – not worth paddling for.

After that, it’s back to 2–3 ft through to Thursday 27th August, with a few glassy mornings but no real power. The combined energy dips to 48–75, so it’s flat-to-small and weak.

Overall, there’s no day I’d tell you to drop everything and go. If you’re desperate, Saturday 15th morning is the cleanest window, but you’ll be scratching for waves. This is a quiet stretch for Hash Point – it’s a sheltered spot, so when the swell is small and from the NW, it just doesn’t light up. Keep an eye on the forecasts; things can change.

Rusty.
