Hazuk Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get real about the next couple of weeks here at Hazuk. The truth is, it’s a pretty quiet stretch overall. The swell is small and anemic for most of the period, and the wind window is narrow. We’ve got a few fleeting moments of glassy conditions, but they’re attached to tiny, weak waves.

Let’s start with the standout, and honestly, the only real highlight worth paddling out for. That’s Sunday morning, 16 August. The wind is glassy, dead calm, and the surf is a tiny but rideable 3 ft from the WNW with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 116. It’s not going to be a world beater, but for Hazuk, that’s the best the 16-day window has to offer. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no need for a thick wetsuit.

After that, it’s a long, slow fade. The next morning, Monday 17 August, the swell is similar at 4 ft, but the wind is onshore, so it’s messy. Then Tuesday morning, 18 August, offers another glassy morning with 3 ft waves, but the energy is weak (68). After that, the swell drops off hard. From Wednesday 19 August through to the end of the month, we’re looking at wave heights consistently below 3 ft, often below 2 ft, with periods as short as 4 to 6 seconds. The combined energy drops into the double digits, and the wind is generally cross-onshore or onshore.

There’s a slight bump in the final days – around Thursday 27 August and Friday 28 August – the swell tries to push back up to 4 ft with periods of 8 seconds, and the energy kicks up to 190 (moderate). But the wind is cross-onshore or onshore, so the surf quality is still rated as poor. The 28th is really the only other time the swell size gets close to being interesting, but the wind ruins it.

So, in short: Sunday morning, 16 August is your one and only window for clean, glassy waves. The rest of the 16 days is a long stretch of small, weak, and wind-affected surf. If you’re a kiter, the afternoons with stronger cross-onshore winds might look more interesting than a paddle session. For everyone else, maybe pick up a book.
