Hazuk Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the Hazuk stretch over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, it's a grim run here, folks. We're looking at a real dry spell that stretches from now all the way through to the morning of Thursday the 16th of July. For over a week, it's just small, choppy junk with cross-onshore winds and zero energy. The swell is tiny – mostly around 1 ft to 2 ft from the WNW with a short, weak period of only 6 seconds. The combined energy is pathetic, barely cracking 18 to 44 on the energy meter. It's not worth paddling out for.

Things finally get a tiny bit of a pulse on the morning of Thursday the 16th of July. Hazuk (a beach and reef setup) sees a glassy morning with the wind swinging light and variable from the WSW at 6 mph. The swell pushes up to 3 ft from the WNW with a period stretching out to 8 seconds, and the combined energy climbs to 93. It's still nothing to write home about—the wave comment says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." The water temperature is sitting at a balmy 82°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Still, that glassy surface is your best shot if you're desperate for a slide. The afternoon will get chopped up again by a 12 mph NW cross-onshore breeze, so make the most of the morning window.

After that, it returns to more of the same weak, messy junk for days. We get another brief moment on the morning of Saturday the 25th of July. Again, glassy conditions with a light WSW wind at 6 mph, and the swell bumps up to 4 ft from the WNW with a 7-second period. The combined energy hits 133, which is at least moderate. But it's not breaking cleanly, still just "surfable but very ordinary." The afternoon blows out again with a 12 mph cross-onshore.

Later on the morning of Sunday the 26th of July, there's a 4 ft swell from the WNW with an 8-second period (energy at 181), and while the wind is light from the WSW at 6 mph, it's onshore, which will mess up the face. Not a standout.

So the only two windows worth considering are the mornings of Thursday the 16th of July and Saturday the 25th of July. Even then, it's not great. The break is fairly consistent for small stuff, but it's rarely got any quality. A couple of glassy mornings and a bit of WNW groundswell (8-second period) is the best we've got. Keep your expectations low, and the board waxed just in case.

Rusty.
