Huascar Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's shaping up for us at Huascar. This is a proper point break, exposed to the NW swell window, and it's a spot for advanced surfers only. The good news is it's consistent, so we'll have waves to talk about.

We kick off the period with a beauty. Friday morning the 10th of July, the ocean is glassy with a clean 3ft SW groundswell. The combined swell energy is sitting at a solid moderate 542, and the water is sitting at 63°, which is about 2° warmer than normal for this time of year – a nice little bonus. That 13-second period means real deep-water lines, and with offshore wind from the WSW, this is the standout of the whole forecast. Expect very good surf conditions. The afternoon cleans up even more but drops slightly in energy.

Saturday the 11th sees the swell ease back, but it's still surfable. Sunday and Monday are a bit of a write-off with smaller, weaker swells and some cross-onshore wind, so the quality fades. Tuesday the 14th shows a pulse of new energy waking up, with the swell jumping to 4ft and the period stretching to 15 seconds, giving a combined energy of 679. The wind is offshore in the morning, making it a solid session, though it's a bit of a tricky tide window.

Then we hit the real sweet spot again. Wednesday the 15th of July is an absolute cracker. We’ve got 5ft of SW groundswell with a 12-second period, glassy conditions, and the energy is a strong 685. That is premium, clean point-break surfing. Thursday the 16th holds nicely too, with glassy conditions and a 4ft swell.

Things get a bit average again into Friday the 17th and the weekend, but don't look away. Monday the 20th of July brings a bigger pulse, with a 6ft SW swell and a strong energy reading of 1113 (moderate-to-strong), but the cross-shore wind is messy. The real prize is Tuesday the 21st of July. The morning is cross-onshore with a solid 7ft SW swell, but the afternoon turns glassy with that same 6ft groundswell. Combined energy is 783. That afternoon window looks very, very good for the expert crew.

Into the second week, the swell hangs around but the winds get inconsistent. Tuesday the 22nd of July morning is another glassy session with 5ft of SW swell and a moderate 512 energy. It stays okay into the 24th and 25th, with decent size (5ft to 6ft) but more cross-shore wind chop, so quality drops off. Still, for a consistent point like Huascar, you can always find a peak.

Overall, the standout is this Friday morning, the 10th of July, for pure glassy perfection. The backup star is Tuesday afternoon, the 21st of July, for raw power and clean faces. Crowds are possible, so get out early.

Rusty.
