Hazuk Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get real about Hazuk. Honestly, looking at the next 16 days, it’s not looking great. The swell is tiny and the conditions are messy. We’ve got a long stretch of poor surf here, mate. The first real recommendation doesn’t even kick off until the 17th of August, and even then, it’s a struggle.

Let’s break it down. From now until the 17th, it’s flat, weak, and choppy. The swell is onshore or cross-onshore, mostly from the WNW, with heights barely scraping 3 ft, and periods of just 6 seconds – that’s short period, weak wind swell. The combined wave energy is weak, staying in the two-digit range (like 31 to 49), meaning there’s no grunt in the water. On the 12th of August, we get a glassy morning, but the swell is only 1 ft with a measly 6-second period and energy of just 12 – that’s flat, not surfable. The 14th and 15th offer some glassy or light wind windows, but the waves are still too small and weak to bother with.

Then, on Monday the 17th of August, things pick up slightly. The morning shows a 3 ft swell from the WNW, with a period of 7 seconds and combined energy of 70 – still moderate at best. The wind is a light cross-onshore from the WSW at 6 mph, which is light but not clean. The afternoon sees the swell bump to 3 ft, but the wind swings onshore from the WNW at 12 mph, making it choppy and messy. A 3 ft swell with 7-second period is not a standout; it’s just the best of a bad bunch.

The 18th of August is similar: 3 ft in the morning, cross-onshore wind, energy of 78. The 19th of August morning is glassy with 2 ft, but the period is still 6 seconds, and the energy is only 33 – weak. The 20th of August morning is glassy again, but only 2 ft.

The best option across the whole 16 days is probably the morning of the 17th of August. The swell is 3 ft from the WNW, a period of 7 seconds, and the wind is a light cross-onshore from the WSW at 6 mph. The combined energy of 70 is the highest we see. It’s not a standout by any stretch, but it’s the only time the swell is near 3 ft and the wind isn’t totally ruining it. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, with no anomaly noted.

Hazuk is a beach and reef break, open to the swell, and it’s fairly consistent, but it’s a beginner-friendly spot. With the swell only reaching 3 ft, it’s not too big for anyone. The crowd profile says “sometimes,” so you might have company, but not a circus. The swell direction is WNW, which is close to the optimum NW direction from the guidance, so that’s a positive.

But honestly, for the whole 16 days, the waves are small, the period is short, and the wind is often onshore. The morning of the 17th of August is the only real chance to get a few weak, crumbly rides. The rest is a write-off.
