Hazuk Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’m gonna level with you – this outlook for Hazuk is a tough one to write. We’ve got a solid 16-day window stretching from Saturday the 4th of July all the way through to Sunday the 19th, but honestly, it’s a pretty grim run for paddle surfing. The swell just isn’t cooperating, and the conditions are messy for most of it.

We kick things off on Saturday the 4th with a small, weak swell coming in from the WNW at 3 ft. The period is a short, choppy 6 seconds, so the waves lack any real push or shape. The combined wave energy is only a weak 60, and we’ve got a cross-on wind from the WSW at 9 mph. It’s poor, mate. The water’s sitting at 82° and running about a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s the only bright spot.

That pattern of small, onshore-affected surf just keeps rolling through the first week. We see a bit of a pulse on Tuesday the 7th morning with the combined energy creeping up to a moderate 153 and the swell height bumping to 4 ft, but the period is still short at 8 seconds, and the wind is cross-on from the SW at 9 mph. It’s still poor surf conditions. The whole week is a write-off – the wind is either cross-on or onshore, and the swell never really gets its act together.

Heading into the second week, things get even smaller. By Saturday the 11th of July, the swell drops to a tiny 2 ft with a combined energy of just 22. Sunday the 12th is even flatter at 1 ft (12 energy). We get some glassy windows on Saturday the 11th morning and Sunday the 12th morning, so the ocean will look pretty, but there’s nothing to ride. There’s a tiny bump on Tuesday the 14th afternoon where the swell nudges up to 2 ft and the energy hits 37, but it’s onshore and poor. The last real flicker of hope is on Sunday the 19th afternoon with 3 ft and 43 energy – still onshore, still poor.

The bottom line here is that there are no good surfing options across the entire 16-day outlook. The swell is consistently small, the periods are short, and the wind is rarely in our favour. For a spot like Hazuk, which is a beach and reef setup exposed to the NW, this stretch of flat, onshore junk is a real bummer. The energy readings never break out of the weak to low-moderate range. If you’re a kiter, you might find some fun on those windier afternoons, but for paddling, we’re in for a long, quiet spell.

Rusty.
