The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cookin’ at Hope Beach.
The water’s sittin’ at 53°, which is about 2° cooler than usual for this time of year – just a little on the chill side. You’ll want a decent wetsuit.
We’ve got a pretty solid run of surf kicking off Tuesday morning, July 14th, with a clean 6ft SSW groundswell (17-second period) and a light offshore wind. The wave energy is pumping at 1820, so there’s plenty of grunt in the water. That’s quality territory for experienced surfers – the swell’s over 5ft, so it’s a bit much for beginners, but the lines will be clean and well-shaped. That long period will make the paddling easier between sets, and the offshore flow will keep the faces nice and smooth.
The real standout, the one you want to circle in red, is Thursday afternoon, July 16th. It’s glassy – dead flat water – with a clean 5ft SSW swell at 15 seconds. The energy is a moderate 1063, but with those conditions, it’ll be peaky, fun, and uncrowded. That’s the best session of the whole window.
The following week, around July 23rd, the swell drops off hard. We’re looking at tiny 1ft to 3ft waves with weak energy, mostly under 300. A few days of near-flat, ordinary conditions. That gap lasts from around Thursday, July 23rd, through to the end of the period. There’s a little bump of 5ft to 5ft on Friday, July 24th, but the wind is cranking cross-off at 15-18 mph, and the tide looks questionable – it’s marginal at best.
Bottom line: the first week has some clean, quality waves, especially Thursday afternoon. The second week is mostly a write-off, with small, weak, and often windy conditions. Stick to the early days and you’ll be happy.
Catch ya out there.

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.
