Hazuk Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what we’ve got for the next couple of weeks.

If you’re aching to paddle out, I’d say temper your hopes. The whole sixteen-day window is a tough one. There’s a nearly two-week stretch from Saturday, 22 August right through to Thursday, 3 September where the surf is just sad – tiny and often knocked around by the wind. We’re looking at a few glassy moments here and there, but the swell is simply too small to get excited about.

Your only real chance for something marginally rideable comes on the last weekend. The standout, if you can call it that, is Sunday morning, 6 September. Hazuk sees a tiny bump of swell, 2 ft from the WNW with a bit more period (8 seconds), and it’s glassy. It’s not going to be a classic, but at least it’s clean. The combined swell energy is weak, only getting to 43 (weak). Before that, Saturday morning, 5 September has absolutely no wind and a flat 1 ft swell – you could go for a swim, but not a proper surf.

For the earlier part, Monday morning, 24 August is glassy with 2 ft of swell (6 seconds), but the energy is still weak at 25. It’s a bit of a tease. The rest of that first week is mostly cross-onshore breezes messing up what little bump there is. There is a brief moment on Sunday morning, 30 August with glassy conditions and 3 ft, reading “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” so it’s not totally flat, but it’s definitely not a drive-across-town mission.

The swell finally tries to show some life on Wednesday, 2 September, with 4 ft from the WNW and moderate wave energy (131), but the wind is onshore all day and the conditions are poor. That pattern continues into Thursday, 3 September. By Friday morning, 4 September it gets glassy again with 3 ft, but the energy is still weak (65), and it’s just “surfable but ordinary.”

For the rest of the period right up to Sunday, 6 September, it’s a grind. There’s just not enough power or clean windows to recommend a session. If you’re a beginner, the biggest swell never even cracks 5 ft, so there’s nothing intimidating, but there’s also nothing to ride. To be honest, this stretch looks better for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer on the afternoons when the wind picks up and the swell is lacking.

It’s one of those quiet runs. The water temp is around 86° with an anomaly of 3°, making it a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s the only notable thing going on.
