Hazuk Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you on this one. Looking at the charts for Hazuk, it’s a pretty quiet stretch ahead. We’ve got a gap of quiet days right at the start here, so don't bother paddling out for the first several days.

The first real chance to wet a line doesn't pop up until the morning of Monday, September 1st. The water is sitting at 85°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like a warm bath out there.

For that Monday morning, we’ve got tiny 2ft swell from the NW, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is pretty weak at 53. It's glassy though, dead calm wind, so the surface will be clean as a whistle. The wave comment says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," and honestly, that's about right. It’s a beginner-friendly wave size at Hazuk, which is a beach and reef setup, but it's not going to set the world on fire.

The rest of the week is a write-off. Every afternoon from Monday through to the following Sunday gets hammered by a cross-onshore breeze, making a mess of things. The mornings offer some glassy moments, like on Wednesday the 3rd and Sunday the 7th, but the swell is too small and weak to really get excited about. We’re looking at 1ft to 2ft with energy reading in the teens and 20s – just not enough push.

Now, we do see a slight bump in the swell on the 10th of September. That Thursday morning shows 4ft from the WNW with an 8-second period, and energy jumps up to 194. That’s moderate energy, a real step up. But the wind is a cross-onshore, and the wave comment is still "poor surf conditions." The size is getting there for a beginner, but the wind is going to chop it up. It’s not a standout.

The following morning, Friday the 11th, is a similar story. 4ft swell, but with a cross-shore wind. It's just not clean enough to recommend.

The real killer for Hazuk is the afternoon wind. It's a consistent pattern – glassy or light mornings, then the NW wind picks up and ruins the shape. The 16th of September morning offers a brief window with 2ft swell and a cross-offshore wind, which is clean. Combined energy is a weak 43, but it's the best we've seen in a while for conditions.

The only real standout, and I'm being generous here, is the morning of Thursday, September 10th, for the biggest swell of the period. But be warned, the wind is likely to make it a bit of a mess. For anyone else, there's just not enough quality on offer. Keep an eye on the long-range forecasts, things can change.

Rusty.
