Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Hey, Rusty here. Let's talk about what Hope Beach has in store.
Things get rolling on Friday, July 3rd. The morning offers a clean 3ft SSW groundswell with a long 18-second period and moderate energy (654). It's an inconsistent break, so expect gaps between waves. The water temp is normal for this time of year. By afternoon, the wind turns ugly and the surf gets messy. The weekend brings serious size: Saturday sees 10ft to 12ft cross-shore slop with massive energy readings (3460 to 6045). That's expert-only territory if you're keen on a beatdown.
Sunday the 5th is still rough, with 10ft surf and light cross wind. Marginal.
Then there's a quiet patch. Monday morning the 6th gives a clean 5ft S swell with a gentle offshore – nice for intermediates.
Here's the first real standout: Wednesday morning, July 8th. A 5ft S swell with an 18-second period and strong energy (1471). A gentle offshore from the north keeps it glassy. This is excellent for experienced surfers. Long period means you'll get better shape and easier paddling between sets.
Tuesday the 7th is good too: 4ft S swell, clean offshore breezes.
Thursday the 9th goes glassy in the afternoon with a 4ft S groundswell, 19-second period, and 1022 energy. Perfect for a peaceful session.
Another big one lands Monday, July 13th. The morning has a 4ft S swell with a very long 21-second period (1276 energy). Then the afternoon delivers 5ft S swell, 19-second period, with light offshore wind. Excellent for experienced surfers.
The 14th and 15th get messy again. The 15th hits 12ft with 6554 energy, but it's cross-shore chop.
The last top call is Friday, July 17th: a 5ft SSW swell, 16 seconds, gentle offshore wind, and 1607 energy. Excellent conditions for the experienced.
Crowds can show up here sometimes, so on those standout mornings, get there early.
Keep your eyes on Wednesday the 8th and Monday the 13th.
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.
