Hazuk Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this outlook is a tough one. We’re staring down the barrel of a 16-day window, and honestly, the surf is just not cooperating. For the next week and a half, the energy is weak and the conditions are messy. The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show up until Monday, July 27th, and even then, it’s nothing to write home about.

The whole run is plagued by small, weak swell with periods mostly under 8 seconds, meaning no real grunt. The combined swell energy is low, rarely cracking 100 – we’re talking numbers like 16 and 26, just a whisper of energy. The wind is all over the shop, mostly onshore or cross-onshore, keeping the surface choppy. There’s a long, flat, and frustrating gap from now all the way through the weekend of July 26th. If you’re a beginner, this is a total waste of time; the swell barely tickles 2 feet for most of it.

The only spot that even gets a passing mention is Hazuk, a beach and reef setup exposed to the NW and optimised for a NW swell. But even Hazuk is a struggle. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual.

The closest thing to a “standout” is Monday morning, July 27th. The wind goes glassy out of the WSW, and we get a tiny 2ft NW windswell with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is still weak at 55, but with glassy conditions, it’ll be the cleanest 2ft surf you’ll find. The swell direction is a little off the optimum, but for a Monday morning cruise on a tiny wave, it’s the only real window. After that, it’s back to the same old story: small, weak, and choppy right through to the end of the period on August 4th.

Honestly, for this stretch, the gear is better off in the garage. It’s a blank run, and for this area, that’s just how it goes sometimes. The forecasts can change, but right now, don’t hold your breath.
