Table - best surf conditions forecast for Hope Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright, listen up. Rusty here. Looking at the next 16 days for Hope Beach, it’s a bit of a slow start, but there are a couple of proper waves to get excited about. The water’s at 52°F, which is a touch colder than average for the time of year, so don't be a hero without a decent wetsuit.
The first few days are junk. Saturday the 11th and Sunday the 12th are tiny and onshore, not worth a second look. Monday the 13th sees the size jump up, with a solid 5ft to 8ft SSW groundswell, but the wind is ripping from the WNW at 25 mph, so it’s going to be a complete mess. The energy is huge, but you’ll be fighting the wind the whole time.
Tuesday the 14th keeps the size around 6ft to 7ft, but the wind is cross-shore, leaving a bumpy surface. Not great.
The first real window opens on Wednesday the 15th. The morning has a clean 5ft SSW swell with a moderate offshore wind from the NW. That’s a good combo. The waves will have a long 15-second period, giving them some proper punch. A solid intermediate option.
Thursday the 16th is a bit smaller, around 4ft, but with a light offshore wind, it’ll be clean and fun.
Now, the standout. Friday the 17th of July. This is the one. The morning brings a pumping 7ft S swell with a clean offshore breeze. In the afternoon, it gets even better: the wind drops to glassy, and the swell is still a solid 6ft. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers. The sets will be long and powerful, and the conditions will be pristine. This is the best on offer.
After that, the swell drops back down for a few days. Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th are smaller and a bit onshore, and Monday the 20th is clean but small. Tuesday the 21st and Wednesday the 22nd are pretty ordinary.
Then, for the long-range punters, Thursday the 23rd of July looks like another big one. A 7ft to 8ft SSW groundswell with a 19-second period. That’s a very long period groundswell. The wind is offshore, but that long period can make it a bit top-to-bottom and straight at a beach break. It’s promising, but still a week and a half out, so keep an eye on it. The rest of the week after that fades into smaller, wind-affected waves.
So, the call is easy. The best day is this Friday the 17th. If you’re an experienced surfer, get it done. The Wednesday the 15th is a solid backup. The big one on the 23rd is a watch-and-wait.
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.
