Hazuk Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ in the water for Hazuk. Straight up – it’s a grim stretch ahead for most of the sixteen days. This is one of those runs where you might be better off waxing the longboard and just staring at the horizon, because the surf just isn’t happening. From now, Tuesday the 25th of August, all the way through to Saturday the 5th of September, it is a complete drought of any kind of wave worth paddling for. That’s a solid twelve days of tiny, weak dribble.

For nearly two weeks, the swell sits pitifully low – between 0.7 ft and 2 ft, with a short, weak period hanging around 5 to 8 seconds. The combined energy is pathetic, barely ever cracking 50 (values from 4 to 50). Winds are almost always a messy cross-onshore, churning up the surface into a choppy, bumpy mess. There are a couple of glassy mornings – like Monday the 31st of August morning, and Thursday the 3rd of September morning – but the swell is so tiny it’s barely a ripple. Not worth the walk down the sand.

The only real blip on the radar – and I mean the *only* one – hits on Sunday the 6th of September. The morning brings a pulse of swell: 6 ft from the WNW, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 385 (moderate), which is a big jump from the nothingburger we’ve seen. But the wind is still a light cross-onshore, so it’s gonna be a bit lumpy. The afternoon gets even bigger, pushing to 7 ft, with a period of 10 seconds and a big energy reading of 701. That’s a solid wave, but at 7 ft it’s getting into expert-only territory, especially with that cross-onshore wind (WNW at 15 km/h) chopping it up. The break is a beach and reef setup, so on a bigger swell like this with onshore wind, it’s gonna be a washing machine. Honestly? That afternoon session looks more interesting for a kiteboarder than a surfer swinging a longboard.

Monday the 7th of September morning will see the swell drop back to a clean 3 ft with glassy wind and 160 (moderate energy), which is about the only "surfable" window in the whole run, but it’s nothing to write home about.

So, the standout – if you can even call it that – is the morning of Sunday the 6th of September. It’s the biggest, most energetic swell of the whole 16 days, but it's over a week away and the conditions aren’t great. For beginners, steer clear – that 6 ft to 7 ft is too much. For the experienced crew, it might be worth a paddle if you’re desperate and can handle the chop. Otherwise, this area is looking like a total dud for the foreseeable future. Keep tuning in, because it can’t stay this flat for much longer.
