The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at the next couple of weeks for Hope Beach. Things are a bit of a slow burn to start, so don't rush out just yet.
The first real chance to get wet doesn't come until the afternoon of Tuesday the 1st. Hope Beach is an intermediate spot that's inconsistent, so you have to pick your moments. That first afternoon, the swell is small at 3ft from the SSW, but it's a proper long-period groundswell of 15 seconds. The wind is offshore from the NW, so the surface will be clean. The water temp is 54°, which is pretty much what you'd expect for this time of year.
The standout session in that first block looks like the afternoon of Thursday the 4th. The swell builds to a solid 7ft from the SSW with a very long 17-second period, and the combined energy is strong at 2842. That's a lot of water moving around. With light NW offshore winds, the conditions will be clean, but at that size, it's really one for the experienced crew only.
The morning of Sunday the 6th offers something different. The swell drops to 5ft from the south with a much shorter period of 8 seconds, so it won't have the same grunt. But the wind turns glassy from the north, which is a rare treat. If you want an easy paddle and some clean little lines, that's your window.
After that, we've got a rough patch. A near-gale blows in on the 9th, pushing the swell way up to 10ft, but it's completely blown out and messy. The wind stays messy with some serious size through the 10th and 12th, so don't bother.
The outlook for the second week is less certain, but there are a couple of points of interest. The morning of Sunday the 13th looks promising with 4ft SSW swell and light offshore winds. Then the morning of Tuesday the 15th could be the biggest of the whole run with a 10ft easterly swell. The wind looks light from the NNE, so clean. But remember, that's a big wave, strictly for experts, and it's a long way off.
There's a heap of waves on offer, but a lot of it is messy. Pick your windows, make sure you're ready for the size, and don't trust the long-range stuff too much just yet.
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.
