Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into the outlook for Hope Beach.
We’ve got a bit of a mixed bag coming up, but the first real standout window is actually a fair way off. The early days are more about building up to something bigger. Starting Thursday the 9th, we’re looking at fun, clean surf with a solid 3-foot swell from the SSW. That long period groundswell (16 seconds) is packing moderate energy (465) and the water’s sitting at 52.5°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year. The morning has a light offshore breeze, so it’ll be clean. This is a good, mellow session for an intermediate surfer.
Friday the 10th and Saturday the 11th see the swell drop off quickly. By Saturday, we’re down to 1.6 feet and the wind is up – 25 mph on Saturday afternoon. That’s a write-off. Sunday the 12th is even smaller and windier, so basically a gap of a few days with nothing to recommend.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Monday the 13th, the swell bumps up to 4.3 feet from the SSW with a long period of 16 seconds. The energy jumps to 1044 (strong), and we’ve got a fresh offshore wind. That’s a solid, clean morning session on the cards.
But the real standout is Tuesday the 14th of July. The morning brings a big 11.5-foot swell from the SW with a very long period of 17 seconds. The energy is massive at 8822 (very strong wave energy). However, the wind is cross-shore and the swell is predicted to be too big for this break. This is strictly for experts only, and even then, it’s going to be a beast. The afternoon settles to 6.6 feet, still big and powerful. This is the big event of the period, but it’s a serious one.
After that, Wednesday the 15th and Thursday the 16th settle back down to a clean 4.3 feet and 1.6 feet respectively, with light offshore winds. Nice, manageable conditions.
The second week brings a few more decent pulses. Saturday the 18th looks good with 4.3 feet of SSW swell (15 seconds) and a gentle offshore breeze – that’s a clean, fun morning. Then Monday the 20th afternoon has a nice 3.3-foot swell with a very long period (16 seconds) and light wind, giving us glassy conditions.
The 22nd of July afternoon is a real treat: glassy conditions with a 3.6-foot S swell. That’s a very clean window for a session.
Keep in mind, Hope Beach is inconsistent by nature, so when it’s on, it’s worth the wait. The standout for the whole period is the big Tuesday the 14th for the experienced crew, and the clean, glassy window on the 22nd afternoon for everyone else.
Stay salty.

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.
