Hash Point

Hash Point

The point at the top of the village, a short walk from most of the camps. Best at low tide, and busy for the same reason.

Hash Point is the point at the top of the village, a short walk from most of the camps, and the de facto local break. It is sheltered, and that one word decides everything about it.

The figures say it plainly. In January, the month the guides publish, conditions are clean 40% of the time and too small 45% of it. Where the exposed points need the wind to behave, Hash Point needs the swell to turn up at all. It is blown out only 15% of the time, which is the other side of the same shelter.

It works best around low tide with a northeasterly offshore, and it gets busy for the obvious reason: everybody can walk to it. Watch the rocks.

A month in figures

In January, the month the forecast guides single out for this coast:

  • 40%Clean and surfable
  • 15%Blown out
  • 45%Too small

Shares of the month, from the published forecast statistics. The model reads a grid, so neighbouring breaks share a figure: this describes a stretch of coast, not this wave on its own. The other eleven months are not published.
