The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
First off, we’re looking at Hope Beach. It’s an inconsistent spot, but when it turns on, it can be a real treat. The water temp is sitting pretty average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The week starts off a bit slow. Sunday the 26th and Monday the 27th are surfable, but the conditions are pretty ordinary. On Monday afternoon, things get interesting. The swell picks up to 4ft from the SSW, with a long 15 second period and gentle offshore wind. That’s clean, and the combined energy jumps to 658 (moderate energy). It’s a solid option for the intermediate surfer.
Tuesday the 28th keeps it rolling with a clean 4ft to 4ft SSW swell, but the period extends to 15-16 seconds. The Tuesday afternoon session sees a bit of a cross-off wind, but it’s still clean. Energy is moderate to strong (781).
Wednesday the 29th is a no-go. Heavy rain, strong cross-onshore winds, and a messy 8ft swell. That’s a hard pass.
Thursday the 30th is also poor with cross-shore winds and lumpy chop. Not worth paddling out.
Then we get to the standout. Friday the 31st. The afternoon session is an absolute gem. 7ft of SSW swell, 11 second period, and glassy conditions. The combined energy is a massive 1364 (strong). That is excellent surf for experienced surfers. The wave energy is pumping, and with that glassy surface, it’s going to be clean and powerful. Crowds are possible at this spot, so get out there early.
Saturday the 1st of August is another ripper. Morning has 5ft of SSW swell with an 18 second period, moderate offshore wind, and strong energy (1179). Afternoon is even better – 5ft, 17 second period, light cross-off wind, and energy at 1667 (very strong). This is a top-tier session for the experienced crew.
Sunday the 2nd of August is still good, with a clean 5ft to 4ft SSW swell, long periods, and gentle offshore winds. Energy is strong (1008) in the morning.
Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th drop off into poor or marginal conditions, with fresh breezes and cross-off winds.
Wednesday the 5th and Thursday the 6th are a mixed bag. Wednesday is poor with cross-shore chop, but Thursday the 6th comes back strong. Morning has 4ft of SSW swell, 15 second period, light offshore wind, and strong energy (768). That’s a very good session. The afternoon is glassy with 4ft, 14 second period, and clean conditions.
After that, from Friday the 7th to Sunday the 9th, it’s a real letdown. Swell drops to 1ft to 2ft, and the wind is mostly cross-off. Not much to write home about.
Looking way out, Monday the 10th of August shows a big spike in swell – 5ft from the SSW, with a very long 21 second period. The energy is massive at 2199 (very strong). But that’s more than a week away, so it’s promising but not a lock. The cross-off wind means it could be clean, but that long period might make it a bit straight for the beach break. Experienced surfers only if it comes through.
Best bet overall? Friday the 31st July afternoon. That’s the one. Glassy, powerful, and clean. Get it.
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.
