Hazuk Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, I’m gonna be straight with you – this is a tough stretch for Hazuk. The charts are stubbornly quiet for the first week and a half. We’re looking at a long, dry gap from now until around the 29th of July. There’s barely a ripple worth paddling for, with tiny swell heights and cross-onshore winds messing up what little there is. The combined energy is pitiful, mostly sitting in the range of 8 to 66 (weak energy). It’s the kind of period where you’d be better off cleaning your wetsuit or checking the tide pools.

The first real glimmer of hope comes on Monday morning, 27th July. The swell is still small, only 2ft from the WNW, but the period jumps to 10 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell pulse. The combined energy pushes to 119 (moderate energy). The morning is light cross-shore, not perfect, but a big step up from the junk we’ve had. By the afternoon, the swell builds to 4ft from the WNW, with a 10-second period, and the energy doubles to 210 (moderate to strong). It’s still a bit messy with a moderate cross-shore wind, but there’s life in the water for the first time.

The standout in this whole 16-day window is Wednesday morning, 29th July. The swell is 3ft from the WNW, with a 7-second period, but the real winner is the wind – glassy, dead calm. The combined energy is 53 (weak), but the conditions are clean. Hazuk is a beach and reef setup, and with that glassy surface, the small waves will be ridable and fun for a beginner. It’s surfable but very ordinary, don’t expect barrels, but it’s the cleanest it’ll get.

Thursday morning, 30th July and Friday morning, 31st July are similar last-call mornings – glassy wind, small 3-3ft WNW swell, weak energy (77 and 57). They’re okay for a splash, but not worth a special trip. The afternoons all week get chopped up by that 12 mph NW wind.

Water temperature? The guidance doesn’t show a specific anomaly, so I’ll say it’s about average for the time of year at Hazuk. Nothing out of the ordinary.

For a beginner, the 29th and 30th mornings are your best bet. For anyone else, it’s a frustrating wait. The swell is small, the period is short, and the long gap in the first week is a real buzzkill. But look, the forecasts can change, and it’s not always this bleak.
