Hazuk Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, surf’s up… or, well, it’s kinda flat out there. Look, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it: the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for paddling out. We’ve got a lot of small, weak, and messy waves on the menu. There’s a real gap in decent surf until we get closer to the end of the month. If you’ve got a board that you like riding in nothing, this is your time.

We’re talking about Hazuk here. It’s a beach and reef setup that’s fairly consistent, but that doesn’t mean much when the waves are this small. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, which is a nice little bonus if you do decide to get wet, but it’s not going to save the surf.

Right now, and for the next week or so, everything is tiny. We’re looking at waves around 2ft to 3ft. The swell energy is weak, with readings mostly in the low double digits – like 34 or 15 – which tells you all you need to know. There are some glassy mornings, like Wednesday the 19th, but the swell is just too small to make anything of it. The wind is often cross-onshore or onshore, which chops up what little there is.

This flat spell stretches on for days. The waves stay in that 1ft to 2ft range through the 27th of August. It’s just not happening. The energy is weak, and the swell direction is all over the place, but none of it has any power.

Now, there’s a bit of a pulse starting to show around the 28th of August. The swell starts to pick up a touch, with the height pushing to 2ft, and the period lengthens to 9 seconds. The energy is still weak but is building. By the 29th of August, we’re looking at 4ft of swell, and the energy readings jump into the low 100s – moderate energy, but at least it’s something. The wind is still not great, mostly cross-onshore and onshore, so it’ll be a bit lumpy.

The Saturday the 30th of August might be the pick of a bad bunch. The swell stays around 4ft, with the energy at 153. It’s still not big, but it’s the biggest we’ll see. The wind is lighter in the morning but still cross-onshore. It’ll be clean-ish but not great.

So, looking at the whole 16-day run, there’s no real standout. The best on offer is around the 29th and 30th of August, when the swell finally pushes past 3ft. But don’t get too worked up, it’s still small and the winds are iffy.

Keep the hopes in check, maybe go for a paddle or a swim. It’s not looking like a surf week, more like a “sit on the beach and have a beer” kind of week.

Later,
Rusty
