The Lowdown

Right then, let's switch gears into feet and miles, you salty dogs.

Looking at Hope Beach, it’s a mixed bag of a forecast.

The action starts Tuesday, 14 July with a long-period groundswell from the SSW pushing 6ft at 17 seconds. Energy is strong at 1820, but the wind is a cross-off and the conditions are just marginal with dodgy tide. Water temp is about 53°F, which is just a tick below average for this time of year. Not worth paddling out.

Hump day, 15 July, the swell goes absolutely mental – 13ft from the SW with a 13-14 second period. Energy readings of 6074 and 8463 tell you this is massive, powerful stuff. But it’s way too big for the break and the wind is messy. Experts only, if anyone’s brave enough.

Thursday, 16 July, is a redemption story. The swell drops to a clean 6ft from the SSW, still with that long 17-second period. A light offshore breeze from the N at 3 mph in the morning with clear skies. Energy is strong at 2086. This is top-tier surf for the experienced crew. Then the afternoon goes glassy, zero wind, with 5ft waves. That’s a session to remember. This is the standout.

Friday, 17 July keeps the stoke alive. Morning brings 7ft from the SSW at 18 seconds with a clean, strong offshore from the NNW at 12 mph. Energy is 3093 – that’s a lot of juice. Excellent, powerful waves for the experienced. The afternoon stays clean with 6ft.

Saturday, 18 July and Sunday, 19 July see the swell back off but stay fun. Saturday has 4ft waves with light offshore winds, clean lines. Crowds can be a thing here sometimes. Sunday drops to 3ft from the S, still with offshore breezes – perfect for a longboard.

There’s a big flat patch from Monday, 20 July through Wednesday, 22 July. Wave heights drop to 1-2ft, energy under 200. The wind is often offshore but there’s just nothing to ride.

Thursday, 23 July sparks back up. A new pulse of 3ft from the SSW rolls in with a 14-second period. The morning is glassy calm with some light rain, and the afternoon is clean with a stronger offshore. Energy is moderate at 378. Good to go.

Friday, 24 July is a write-off. Strong, messy cross-shore winds up to 22 mph and lumpy slop. Stay on the sand.

Saturday, 25 July brings back the clean stuff. The swell hits 5ft from the SSW at 16 seconds in the morning with a cross-off breeze. Energy is 1387. The afternoon is very good with 5ft waves.

Sunday, 26 July is smaller and more average, but with clean conditions on 3-4ft waves.

For the second week, the big highlight is Monday, 27 July. We get a solid 8ft swell from the SSW with a 12-second period and a strong energy reading of 1716. The morning has a clean offshore from the NNW at 9 mph. This is expert territory only – that size is serious. Get it early before the wind swings.

Tuesday, 28 July and Wednesday, 29 July fade back to small, glassy conditions, finishing with 1-2ft waves.

Bottom line: if you’re looking for the absolute best, get on that Thursday, 16 July glassy afternoon. Friday morning is a close second with bigger, cleaner power. Don’t sleep on Saturday, 25 July either.

Rusty out.

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.
