Hazuk Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the stretch ahead.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days are a real mixed bag, and honestly, mostly a flat, quiet spell. The first real chance to get wet doesn't come around until Thursday the 30th of July, and even then, it’s nothing to write home about. We’ve got a solid gap of a few days with no real surf to speak of before that.

The main event, if you can call it that, is at Hazuk – a beach and reef setup that’s fairly consistent. We’re looking at a small, weak Westerly-Northwesterly swell for most of the period. The water temp is sitting at 84°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won’t need a thick suit.

The best of the best, and the only real standout across the whole forecast, is Thursday morning, the 30th of July. We’ve got a tiny 0.9m (3ft) swell from the Northwest, but the wind is going completely glassy. That’s the key. For a spot like this, when the wind drops out like that, it’s your only shot at anything clean. The combined wave energy is weak, at 79, but for a morning session with zero wind, it’s the pick of the litter. The swell direction is a touch off the optimum, but the glassy conditions override that.

Saturday morning, the 1st of August, also sees a glassy window with a 0.7m (2ft) Westerly-Northwesterly swell, wave energy at 46. It’s small, but it’ll be clean. After that, the wind turns onshore and the swell drops off a cliff. The rest of the first week and into the second week is a write-off – tiny, weak swells with cross-onshore breezes ruining any chance of shape.

Looking further out, around Sunday the 9th of August, we see a slight bump in energy (81 on the combined energy scale) with 0.8m (3ft) from the WNW, but the winds are already messy. It’s too far out to get excited about, and the pattern suggests it’ll be chopped up again.

The long-range stuff around the 10th and 11th of August is just more of the same: small, weak, and blown out. The period is under 8 seconds most of the time, so it’s all short-period windswell – not the kind of energy that builds a proper wave.

Honestly, if you’re a beginner, the small size (under 5ft) is fine, but the quality is poor. For the more experienced crew, there’s just not enough push. The only real window is that Thursday morning glass-off. If you can’t make that, you’re looking at a long wait. The setup at Hazuk, with the wind and the weak swell, might actually be more interesting for the kite crew than us paddle surfers.

Keep an eye on the charts, but this one looks like a patience game.

Rusty.
