Hope Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s talk about the next couple weeks at Hope Beach.

It’s gonna start slow, with a few days of small, clean but pretty gutless surf. The water’s sitting at 51°, which is a bit colder than usual for this time of year, so bring the hood.

The first real sign of life is Saturday the 8th. It’s not big, around 3ft, but that SSW swell has a long 15-second period, and with a light NNE cross-off breeze, it’s gonna be clean. The energy is weak though, so it’s more about the smooth lines than any real punch.

Sunday the 9th is a washout. Swell drops out and the wind gets messy. Monday the 10th has a little more size, up to 3ft, but the cross-on wind messes it up.

Tuesday the 11th afternoon is a sneaky one. Swell is back to 3ft, but that 18-second period from the SSW is nice and clean with a light W cross-off breeze. It’s a good sign.

The real push starts building from Wednesday the 12th. By Thursday morning the 13th, we’re at 6ft with a 16-second period, and the energy is really kicking in. Wind is still cross-off, keeping it clean, but this is now solidly intermediate territory. It’s got some punch to it.

Friday the 14th morning is similar, around 7ft, but the afternoon is a complete mess. A strong 40 km/h SSW cross-on wind comes up and just destroys it. Hard pass.

The standout of the whole window, no question, is Saturday morning the 15th. Clear skies, a light offshore wind, and a solid 6ft of SSW swell with a 15-second period. The energy is strong, and the conditions are described as “very good.” This is the one. A proper, clean surf day.

After that, it backs off a bit. Sunday the 16th has some nice clean 3ft waves with offshore winds in the morning, and it’s glassy in the afternoon. A good, mellow day. Monday the 17th is similar, with a clean 4ft in the morning.

The middle of the week, the 18th and 19th, drop right off. There’s some clean small waves, but nothing with any real power. By the 20th, it’s looking flat and ordinary.

The final notable pulse is on Sunday the 23rd. The swell starts to fill back in, reaching 4ft by the afternoon with a long 19-second period. The energy is back up, and with a light cross-off breeze, it looks like a clean way to finish. It’s promising, but being that far out, you just gotta watch it.

So, bottom line: skip the first few days. Saturday the 15th is your best bet, with Sunday the 23rd as a solid backup. The water’s cold, the waves are inconsistent, but there are a couple proper windows to get out there.

Rusty.
