Hash Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a long look at the surf forecast for Hash Point over the next couple of weeks.

This is a tough one to kick off. The first week is a write-off. From Monday, August 31st right through to Saturday, September 12th, we are staring down the barrel of a long, dry stretch with no decent surf on offer. The scores are all zeros, and the commentary keeps calling it "poor surf conditions." The combined swell energy is mostly weak, staying under 100 for days on end, with only a few moments where it nudges into moderate territory (up to 202). The swell direction is mostly from the NW, which is what we want for this sheltered point, but the size is small, and the quality just isn't there. Honestly, it’s going to feel like a flat spell.

The first real glimmer of hope comes on Sunday, September 13th. The morning shows a little pulse: a 4ft swell from the NW (8 seconds) with a moderate combined energy of 201. More importantly, we’ve got glassy conditions. The forecast actually says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions" and gives it a 1/10, so I’m being generous here. But for a place that’s been dead, that clean morning might offer a few fun ones. The wind is a light SSW offshore, so it’ll be clean, but the short 8-second period means the waves will be a bit sectiony and fat. Nothing special, but a start.

After that, the window closes again. Monday September 14th has a glassy morning with a 3ft swell, but the energy is weak again (116). Tuesday September 15th is similar, with a 2ft swell. The pattern of poor surf returns and continues through the rest of the forecast period. The swell periods vary, but nothing really lines up with the right conditions to make it a standout session. The energy numbers for the rest of the run are mostly in the low to moderate range, and the winds shuffle between cross, cross-on, and cross-off, never really locking into a perfect clean window again.

The only true standout – and I use that term loosely – is the Sunday morning, September 13th session. It’s the only time we see glassy conditions with any notable swell. But with a score of just 1/10, it’s more of a "get wet and see what happens" than a must-paddle session. The crowd factor? Hash Point can see people "sometimes," but over a week of flatness, it might just be you out there.

So, to sum it up: the next 16 days are a frustrating mix of very little followed by a brief, mediocre window. If you’re jonesing for a paddle, the early hours of Sunday the 13th are your best bet. Otherwise, this stretch is more about waiting for the next proper swell.

Stay patient.

Rusty.
