Hazuk Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let me have a look at what we’ve got here. Truth is, it’s a pretty grim run for Hazuk (beach and reef). We’re looking at a solid two-week stretch where the surf is just not cooperating. The first real chance to even think about paddling out doesn’t show up until Tuesday morning, July 14th, and even then, it’s not anything to write home about.

For the first week and a half, it’s all poor conditions. Swell is tiny, mostly around 2 ft to 4 ft, with short, weak periods of 6 to 8 seconds. The wind is almost constantly cross-onshore or onshore, keeping things choppy and messy. The water temp is sitting at 81°F with a positive anomaly of 3°F, so it’s a touch warmer than normal for the time of year, but that’s about the only good news. The combined energy is weak for most of it, barely cracking 100 (25 to 183 range), so there’s just no punch in the water.

The standout – and I use that term loosely – is the morning of Tuesday, July 14th. The wind goes glassy for a bit, with a light WNW breeze at just 3 mph. Swell is still small at 3 ft from the WNW, with a period of 7 seconds and combined energy of 86. The forecast says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” That’s your best window. It’s not going to be epic, but it’ll be clean and rideable for a beginner or someone who just needs to get wet. Crowds are listed as “sometimes” at Hazuk, so you might have a few others with the same idea.

After that brief moment of hope, it’s back to poor surf through the rest of the second week. Swell stays tiny, period short, and the cross-onshore wind returns. By the morning of Friday, July 17th, we’re down to 2 ft swell and combined energy of just 30. A real flat spell.

Honestly, if you’re not a beginner and you’re not desperate, I’d give this whole period a miss. The forecast can always change, but right now it’s one for the beach, not the board.
