Table - best surf conditions forecast for Hope Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here with the long range look for our next stretch of waves. Gotta be honest with ya, the start of the outlook is a bit of a wait. We’ve got a dry spell from the 10th through the 12th, with nothing worth paddling out for. Squally winds and tiny dribble are all that’s on offer, so keep the board in the shed for a few days.
That changes Monday the 13th. A pulse of SSW groundswell lights up Hope Beach. It’s a fairly exposed beach break, so it’ll pick up that energy right. Monday morning we’re looking at a solid 5ft of 16-second groundswell, but it's coming with a near gale cross-offshore wind at 31 mph. That’s a blown-out, ugly mess despite the size. The combined swell energy is ripping at 1611 (moderate-strong), but no one will be out there to enjoy it. The afternoon pushes 7ft, and the wind backs off a little, but it’s still a choppy, lumpy affair with a fresh breeze. Tuesday the 14th stays big, around 8ft, but same story – fresh cross-offshores and a combined energy of 2820 (strong). This is only for the absolute die-hards, and even then, it’s a grunt.
The real standout hits us midweek. Wednesday the 15th and Thursday the 16th are where you want to be. The swell settles to a very clean 5ft from the SSW, and the period remains long at 13-15 seconds. That’s proper groundswell with shape. The winds go light and variable, with a light cross-offshore breeze both days. That means smooth, glassy faces. The combined energy is a solid moderate 744-938 (moderate). This is the pick of the whole forecast. It’s not too big for intermediates, and it’s just inviting you to get a few.
If you miss that window, you get another shot on Friday the 24th. That’s a full two weeks out, so take it with a pinch of salt, but the models are showing promise. We’ve got a clean 4ft SSW swell with a light offshore wind from the NW. Combined energy is 722 (moderate). That’s a very good morning session on the cards.
Overall, don’t bother with the first week. Wait for Wednesday the 15th and Thursday the 16th for the cleanest, most enjoyable surf. The Friday the 24th is a long-range maybe worth setting an alarm for. Otherwise, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty.

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.
