The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, looking at the same 16-day run for Hideaway. Water temp is about 77.4°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
The first week is a total bust – a lot of marginal surf with cross-shore winds making things choppy. The real highlight doesn’t pop up until the second week. The best bet is the morning of Sunday August 16th. Swell is from the SSW at 2.6ft with a very long 18-second period – that’s proper groundswell, and combined energy is strong at 590. It’s glassy, so the reef will be clean and lined up. For a break that rarely breaks, this is a blessing.
The Wednesday morning of August 12th also has glassy conditions, but the swell is tiny at 2ft. The glassy Saturday the 15th is similar. Small, but clean.
Overall, the first week is a no-go, but the 16th August morning is the standout. The glassy, small days in between are just a bonus for a rare spot.

Information about the Hideaway Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Hideaway provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Hideaway can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Hideaway surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Hideaway) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Hideaway may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
