Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright, let’s talk Hope Beach in feet. We’ve got a strong, long-period groundswell from the south-southwest pushing through the forecast, with periods hitting 14 to 18 seconds on the bigger pulses. That means serious energy and long waits between sets – classic point-and-reef style conditions. For a spot like this, those long-period swells can run a bit flat on the beach breaks, so pick your line. Water temp is about average for July, nothing wild.
Saturday the 4th is an absolute mess – 40 km/h cross-shore winds with swell running 10 to 13 feet. Combined energy is massive (3878 to 7312). That’s not surfable for paddlers – more of a kite day. Sunday the 5th still has a cross-wind with swell around 10 feet dropping to 8 feet – marginal.
Monday morning the 6th is the call for the first week. A clean 5-foot SSW swell (14 seconds) with a light offshore wind. Combined energy is 918 – solid moderate. This is good for intermediates – not too big, clean faces. Crowds are possible. Monday afternoon goes glassy but the swell drops to under 3 feet.
Tuesday the 7th morning holds up: 4-foot swell with a 17-second period and light cross-offshore breeze. Clean again. But the afternoon wind picks up to 30 km/h and kills it.
Wednesday the 8th is onshore with a 6-foot swell (18 seconds) – a ton of water moving (2292 combined energy) but blown out. Not worth it.
Second week gets interesting. Tuesday the 14th morning has a 7-foot S swell (12 seconds) with clean cross-offshore wind. Combined energy is 1802. That’s a big wave – experienced surfers only. Thursday the 16th morning also looks good: 6-foot S swell (16 seconds) with light offshore wind. Combined energy 1749. Crowds possible both days.
There’s a flat spell from the 11th to the 13th with swell down to 1 to 3 feet. Not worth it.
Bottom line: Monday the 6th morning for clean, fun waves, and Tuesday the 14th morning for bigger, more powerful surf. Long-range stuff is promising but not locked in.

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.
