Alright, let’s break it down. This spot, Hideaway, is a reef break that only fires now and then, and it’s exposed to the south. The first few days are small, but there’s a real pulse coming.
Tuesday morning the 7th: a clean 2ft SW groundswell with a long 16-second period, light offshore NNE wind, and glassy conditions. The wave energy is weak (287), but for a spot that rarely breaks, it’s a special moment. Water temp is about normal for the season.
Wednesday morning the 8th: the swell jumps to 8ft from the SSW with an 18-second period, and the energy is big (4564). Wind is WSW and cross-onshore, so it’s a bit bumpy, but experienced surfers will have plenty of power to work with. Thursday the 9th stays big at 10ft, but still cross-onshore.
The best window for the experienced crew is Sunday morning the 12th: a clean 6ft SSW swell (1562 energy) with a 12-second period and a light ESE cross-offshore breeze. That’s the kind of combo that makes Hideaway’s reef lines really smooth. It’s a rare break, so when it cleans up like that, it’s a must-surf.
Further out, Friday morning the 17th is glassy, with a 4ft SSW groundswell and a 17-second period. The wind is light NNW and glassy – that’s a dream for a fickle spot. The energy is solid (1345) and it’s a clean, long-period swell that will suit the reef.
Then Tuesday morning the 21st: 7ft from the SSE with a 16-second period, light NE offshore wind, and excellent conditions for experienced surfers (2439 energy). That’s a proper pulse.
And Wednesday morning the 22nd brings a clean 5ft SE swell with a 14-second period and a light cross-offshore breeze.
The first week is a slow start, but from the 12th onward there are a few choice windows. The 12th and the 17th are the ones to circle. Hideaway is a fickle wave – when it’s on, it’s a treat, but it’s for advanced surfers only when it’s over 8ft, like on the 8th and 9th. Crowds are sometimes an issue, but given the rarity of the break, it’s usually not too packed.

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.
