Hash Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right, folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough one for Hash Point. Looking at the whole sixteen-day window, there’s nothing that’s going to get your heart properly racing. We’ve got a long stretch of small, underwhelming swell and less-than-ideal wind. It’s a bit of a flat spell, honestly.

The combined swell energy is weak for most of the run, often sitting in the double digits (like 63) or just barely scraping into the low triple digits (166) at best, which tells you the water just isn’t pushing enough.

For the first week, from Sunday the 12th through to Saturday the 18th, it’s a real struggle. The swell heights are tiny, mostly between 2ft and 3ft, from the NW. The wind is almost always a problem – either cross, cross-on, or onshore, which is going to put a chop on anything that forms. The mornings on the 12th and 13th have glassy or offshore wind, but the swell is just too gutless to make it worthwhile. The best of a bad bunch might be the morning of the 12th, with a glassy 2ft NW swell, but it’s pure small-wave foamball territory.

The second week, from the 19th to the 27th, doesn’t get much better. The swell stays frustratingly small, barely breaking 3ft. You’ll see some glassy mornings again on the 22nd and 24th, but again, it’s accompanied by a 2ft or 1ft NW swell that’s barely a ripple. The afternoon of the 23rd is worth a mention – it’s the only time we see a clean, cross-offshore wind with a 3ft NW swell, but the period is a short 7 seconds, so it’s not going to have any punch. The combined energy there is 109, which is still pretty weak.

Honestly, there’s no standout session here. If you’re desperate for a paddle, try the glassy morning of the 12th for a total beginner session, but keep your expectations on the floor. For most of this forecast, you’re better off checking the wind forecasts for a kitesurfing session if the wind picks up, because the wave quality is just not there for a proper paddle-surf.

Rusty.
