Hope Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright crew, I’m runnin’ through Hope Beach with the yardsticks and cups of tap water.

Thursday July 30 afternoon is flat goodness – available 4.3‑foot S swell but crosswind makes it scrubby.

Friday July 31 – the early session: you’ll see 2.6‑foot SSW groundswell (12 sec) in a side‑shore wind, clean but small. By arvo it’s glassy and 2.3 feet – perfect paddle‑out practice, maybe.

But Saturday August 1 – that’s the best of the bunch. The morning offers a 4.3‑foot SSW swell with 18 seconds of push, moderate energy (426) at a light offshore wind. Arvo blows to 5.2 feet (6.3ft) from the same source – period stays steep, solid 9‑mph offshore? In the units. The combined power is “strong energy” (1804). Direction is spot‑on for the break. There’s sometimes people in the water – nothing hectic.

Sunday August 2nd – dawn clean, 4.6‑ to 4.3‑foot SSW (16 sec) with offshore breeze, still a solid punch (928–1153 energy). Then it gets overcast but still wind‑off until late – good waves.

Come Monday August 3, the swell drops to 3‑foot SSW (14‑sec) in the clean morning, and then the arvo goes sloppy with cross shore.

From Tuesday August 4 right through to Thursday August 6, it’s basically nothing – max 2‑foot straggling windwave with weak energy (150 to 400). That’s a good stretch of time where you’re better off jogging

Friday August 7 brings a last slice of glassy 3‑foot SSW (18 sec) but the energy is moderate (477)– still.

Second week flex: Monday August 10 maybe – a bigger 3.9‑foot SSW (18 sec) with muzzy energy (1097) but cross‑flow keeps it roiled. Tuesday Morning August 11 swings by with 3.3‑foot, 15 sec, clean with light offshore – moderate energy (493). Early birds invited. Afternoon turns 2.9‑foot with onshore slush.

Friday August 14 is the payoff for the die‑hard – morning: 5.9‑foot S direction (9 sec) – short period, but clean offshore wind (6
