The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk Hope Beach over the next 16 days. Water temp is 53°F, which is right around average for the season.
The first few days are a total loss. Sunday the 6th and Monday the 7th are blown out by strong onshore winds and messy, lumpy surf. Forget it. Tuesday the 8th morning is the first real sign of life. We’ve got a 3ft swell from the SSW, a super-long period of 18 seconds, and a light offshore breeze from the NNW. The combined energy is strong (738). It’s small, but it’s a beautiful groundswell, and the water will be clean. This is a standout for anyone who can wait for the sets.
Wednesday the 9th is a washout – a 12ft to 13ft swell with a 25 mph cross-shore wind. Ugly. Thursday the 10th is even bigger, with an 18ft swell from the SW. Way too big for the break, only for the very brave. Friday the 11th is still huge and messy.
Saturday the 12th morning is your next real winner. A 5ft swell from the SSW, 16-second period, and a light offshore from the NNW. Combined energy is strong (1195). The spot is inconsistent, so you’ll be patient, but the waves will be clean and well-shaped.
The middle of the second week, around the 15th and 16th, is a mixed bag. Tuesday the 15th is marginal with cross-shore winds. Wednesday the 16th morning is a clean, powerful 10ft swell from the SSW with a 16-second period and a light offshore wind. That’s for experienced surfers only. The afternoon hits 20ft, which is just too big.
Thursday the 17th morning is another good one for the experienced crew: 8ft, 16-second period, and a clean offshore wind. Friday the 18th morning is also clean and offshore with a 10ft S swell. Then on Monday the 21st morning, we get a glassy, small day with a 5ft SSW swell, 14-second period, and no wind at all. Perfect for a longboard.
The best of the best are Tuesday the 8th morning and Saturday the 12th morning for clean, manageable conditions. The bigger days around the 16th and 17th are for the experts. The break is inconsistent, so don’t expect a constant show, but when it’s on, it’s worth 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.
