Hey crew, it’s Rusty. Let’s break down the next 16 days for Hope Beach. There’s a quiet start, and the first proper surf appears on Monday the 6th of July, so there’s a gap right now.
Monday morning the 6th kicks off with a clean 5ft south swell, around 14-second period, and light offshore winds from the NNW – a nice opener. Water temps are about 53°, pretty normal for this time of year.
The best day early on is Wednesday the 8th. The morning brings an excellent 5ft SSW groundswell with a long 18-second period, and light N offshore winds. The long period means more power and shape, and the combined wave energy is strong at 1806. This is the pick for experienced surfers.
Thursday the 9th stays clean with a smaller 3ft SSW swell and offshore NNW winds, but size is dropping off. Friday and Saturday mornings keep that offshore flow, but the swell shrinks from a little over 3ft down to about 3ft. By Sunday the 12th, it’s barely 2ft with weak energy – a real flat spell.
From the 13th, we get cleaner but small waves – around 2ft on Monday morning with light NNW offshores, and glassy Tuesday afternoon conditions. Then on the 15th and 16th, southerly onshore winds kick up, bringing lumpy, messy conditions. On Thursday the 16th, there’s some size – up to 7ft from the south – but the wind is cross-shore and the period is a short 11 seconds. This window looks more like a kite session than paddle surfing.
The light at the end of the tunnel comes Saturday the 18th with a cleaner 2ft SSW groundswell and light NW offshores. Sunday the 19th gets better with a solid 4ft SSW under NNW offshores. But the big one to watch is Monday the 20th: an expert-level 8ft SSW groundswell at 17 seconds, light offshore wind, and massive energy at 3879. It’s a long way off, but if it holds, that’s the standout.
Stay stoked,
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.
