The Lowdown
Alright, you metric lot, here’s the same story in feet and degrees Fahrenheit.
The long-range looks pretty bumpy on the whole, but there’s a couple of windows that’ll get your heart pumping. We’ve got a gap of a few days with no real standouts to kick things off, but once we get into the first week of August, the energy starts to build.
For the first real standout, you’ve gotta lock in Monday morning, the 3rd of August. Hope Beach is the spot. The swell will be a solid 4 ft from the SSW with a long 16-second period. That’s groundswell, and it’s packing a good punch with moderate energy (996). The wind will be offshore from the North, gently blowing at 9 mph, keeping the surface clean as a whistle. For an intermediate spot that’s inconsistent, this is a prime window. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so just your standard wetsuit.
But the real jaw-dropper, the one you circle on the calendar, is the morning of Tuesday, the 4th of August. Hope Beach is gonna be pumping. We’re looking at 8 ft swell from the South, with a short 8-second period. That’s a lot of water moving, and the combined energy is strong at 1227. The wind is offshore from the North at 12 mph, making for some serious, powerful lines. Now, at 8 ft, this is edging into expert territory, and with that short period, it’s gonna be a bit of a handful. The crowd factor is listed as “sometimes”, so you might have some company, but with that kind of size, it’ll be spread out.
After that, things get a bit messy with strong winds, but there’s a tasty little sunrise session on Sunday morning, the 9th of August. The swell is 7 ft from the East with an 11-second period, and the combined energy is very strong at 1742. The wind is light and offshore from the WNW at 6 mph. This is an excellent window for experienced surfers, promising some clean, powerful waves to close out the forecast.

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.
