Hullets Reef Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it.

We’ve got a solid run of surf coming up at Hullets Reef. This is a beginner-friendly reef break that’s fairly consistent, and it gets pretty exciting when the conditions line up. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The first standout is Thursday morning, the 6th of August. We’re looking at a solid 12 ft southwest swell with a long 13-second period, packing some serious energy (4451). The wind is a gentle offshore from the WSW, keeping the surf clean and lined up. This is excellent for experienced surfers—it’s a big one, so beginners might want to sit this out. The swell direction is right in the sweet spot for this break.

Thursday afternoon the wind picks up a bit, making things more marginal. Friday and Saturday are a write-off with cross-onshore winds and lumpy conditions, though Saturday’s wind shifts cross-off, keeping it clean but still just okay.

Sunday morning, the 9th of August, is another top pick. Back to a 12 ft southwest swell, again with a 13-second period and pumping energy (4273). The wind is offshore from the SW, so expect clean, well-shaped waves. It’s another day for experienced surfers only, but the quality is undeniable.

Monday the 10th sees the swell ease a bit, and we get some rain, but conditions stay clean with cross-off winds. Tuesday brings onshore winds and poor quality.

There’s a long gap after that—from Tuesday the 11th all the way through to the morning of Monday the 18th, where things are mostly poor or marginal. A few clean days in there, but the swell is small or the wind isn’t cooperating. Not worth getting excited about.

Then we get another really nice window. Tuesday morning, the 18th of August, is a real treat for the patient surfer. The swell is 7 ft from the SW with an 11-second period and solid energy (1590). The wind is glassy—dead calm—so the surf will be absolutely pristine. This is an excellent session for experienced surfers. The crowd is only there sometimes, so you might have it to yourself.

Wednesday the 19th keeps the run going with a 5 ft SW swell, gentle offshore winds, and very good conditions. Clean, fun waves that won’t be as intimidating as the bigger days. Thursday the 20th is similar, with clean offshore winds and a good swell shape.

For the absolute best of the forecast, I’d call Thursday the 6th morning and Sunday the 9th morning as the true standouts for power and size. If you want glassy, clean perfection, Tuesday the 18th morning is the one to circle on your calendar.
