The Lowdown

Hey, Rusty here with the surf outlook for Hope Beach. This spot is a bit inconsistent – it doesn’t fire every day – but when it lines up, it can be really good. Water temp is sitting at about 53°F, which is about average for this time of year. The optimum swell direction is from the south, and most of the swells we’re seeing are coming from the SSW, so that’s a good match.

We’ve got a reasonable run of surf starting Saturday the 18th. Saturday morning brings a 3.6ft SSW swell with a 13-second period and moderate energy (547). The wind is offshore from the NW, so it’ll be clean, but nothing huge. Afternoon improves with lighter NW

Short Range Forecast

Some drizzle, heaviest during Mon afternoon. Very mild (max 16°C on Sun afternoon, min 11°C on Mon night). Wind will be generally light.

Days 4-6 Weather Summary

Light rain (total 4mm), mostly falling on Wed morning. Very mild (max 14°C on Tue afternoon, min 5°C on Wed night). Winds increasing (calm on Tue afternoon, fresh winds from the WSW by Thu morning).

Information about the Hope Beach Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Hope Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Hope Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Hope Beach 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 (Hope Beach) 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 Hope Beach 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.
