Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s chew the fat on what’s cookin’ at Hope Beach for the next couple of weeks.
It’s a slow start, but don’t walk away just yet. There are some real gems if you’ve got the patience.
The absolute best bet by a long shot is Thursday, July 16th. The morning is glassy, dead calm, with a 4ft swell from the SSW, a long 15 second period, and the combined energy is moderate (870). The afternoon’s even better – flat calm, 5ft SSW swell, 16 second period, and moderate energy (1028). This is as clean and inviting as it gets. The water temp is 12°, which is about average for this time of year.
Friday, July 17th is your next best call. Offshore winds out of the NNW (12 mph in the morning, easing to 6 mph) keep things clean, with a 4ft to 4ft SSW swell, and periods around 15-16 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (805 and 646). It’s a solid, reliable day.
Wednesday, July 15th afternoon is also a good one. The swell drops to 5ft from the SSW with a 14 second period, combined energy of 913, and the wind is a gentle offshore. That’s a very good session.
The first week has some rough patches. Monday, July 13th has a massive pulse of energy (1866 and 2795) but a near gale and fresh breeze ruin it. Tuesday, July 14th morning has a huge 12ft SW swell (9227 combined energy) – that’s expert territory only, and it’s too big for this break. The afternoon sees it drop to 7ft but with a messy cross-chop.
The second week is quieter. Saturday, July 19th afternoon brings a 7ft E swell with a very short 6 second period – clean offshore winds but the short period means it’s a bit weak. The energy is moderate (588). Monday, July 20th morning has a 3ft S swell, 16 second period, and clean offshore winds – a nice little window. Friday, July 24th morning offers a clean 3ft SSW swell, 16 second period, with moderate offshore winds.
The last few days from July 22nd to the 25th are mostly poor to ordinary, with lumpy cross-shore winds and tiny, weak swells. Crowds are listed as "sometimes" at Hope Beach, so on the good days you might see a handful of others, but it’s generally not a zoo.
Rusty out.

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.
