Hash Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right then, let’s have a look at this forecast. Honestly, it’s a bit of a grim stretch coming up. The whole 16-day window for Hash Point looks like a tough run for anyone hoping for a proper wave. Most sessions are described as poor surf conditions, which is a real bummer.

We’re kicking off on the 5th of September with some tiny 2ft swell from the NW, but the water’s sitting at a pretty normal 71° for the time of year. The wind’s a light cross-off in the morning, so it’s clean, but there’s just no energy to speak of – the combined wave energy is a weak 49. That small swell is just not doing anything. Saturday and Sunday stay small and uninspiring.

There’s a little blip on Monday the 7th. We’ve got a very long-period groundswell of 16 seconds, coming from the WNW at only 1ft. That long interval means the wave energy climbs to a moderate 120, but the swell height is barely a ripple. It’s glassy in the morning, but for a point break like Hash Point, that kind of long-period, tiny swell is just going to run straight past without much to offer.

The pick of the whole period, and it’s not saying much, is probably Thursday the 17th of September. There’s a 2-3ft NW swell with a solid 11-second period, and the combined energy is a moderate 258. The morning’s glassy – a major positive for clean conditions. It’s still surfable but very ordinary, so you’re not getting barrels, just a few clean little lines that might be worth a paddle if you’re desperate for a saltwater fix.

Other than that, there’s a long, flat gap through the middle of the month. Wind is a problem too, often swinging cross or cross-on, especially in the afternoons, which chops things up. For most of the week, the swell is tiny and weak – under 100 on the energy scale. This is one of those outlooks where you’d be best off checking the forecasts again in a week to see if anything shifts, because as it stands, the surf is pretty much a no-go for any serious wave riding.
