Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s talk the same story in feet and miles.
Hope Beach is off to a slow start. Saturday the 11th and Sunday the 12th are a washout—swell barely hitting 1 to 2 ft with weak energy (180 down to 59). Cross-off winds are making a mess of things, so don’t even bother.
The swell starts to build on Monday the 13th, hitting 5 ft, then 7 ft, but the wind is a problem. A near gale on Monday morning and fresh breezes through Tuesday mean the wave quality is poor despite the energy climbing to 1650 and 2729. The beach is exposed, but the wind is chopping it up—this would be a better day for a kite than a surfboard.
Wednesday the 15th and Thursday the 16th are the first real windows. Offshore winds from the NNW with a clean 5 ft to 5 ft SSW swell, long period around 15 seconds. The water’s about average temp for the season. The break is inconsistent, but when it works, it’s clean and fun for an intermediate surfer. Crowds are possible, not guaranteed.
The big standout is Wednesday 22nd July. Morning session sees a 2 ft swell under a moderate offshore, then the afternoon is the real deal: a clean 10 ft SSW swell with a 17-second period, gentle offshore wind, and a massive 5382 energy reading. That’s expert territory—over 8 ft is too much for most. The long-period groundswell will peel nicely on this fairly exposed beach, but it’s a rare session, so mark your calendar.
After that, the swell stays in the 7 to 5 ft range through the 23rd and 24th, but the wind turns cross-shore and lumpy by the 25th weekend. Not worth it.
Best pick: Wednesday 22nd July afternoon. Expert only, 10 ft SSW, gentle offshore, glassy clean.
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.
