The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's dig into the local outlook for Huascar.
We’ve got a good run of surf coming up, starting right off the bat this Wednesday morning, the 15th of July. The water is sitting at about 62°, which is pretty average for this time of year. The main event is a nice, clean southwest groundswell with a long 13-second period, pushing in at about 4ft. The combined swell energy is a solid 707, giving it plenty of push. The wind is glassy from the WSW – that’s the sort of conditions that’ll have you smiling before you even hit the water. This is the pick of the early period, and it holds through the afternoon as well, with the swell bumping up a touch to 5ft and the wind staying glassy. Wednesday is a standout.
Thursday morning the 16th is a bit of a write-off with a cross-onshore breeze messing things up, but by Thursday afternoon, the wind goes glassy again with a clean 3ft southwest swell. Friday the 17th is tricky in the morning, but by Friday afternoon, we get dead calm winds and a nice 4ft swell – that’s a sneaky good session if you can work around the tide. Saturday the 18th has a clean afternoon window, and Sunday the 19th afternoon cleans right up too. Monday the 20th morning is worth a look with glassy conditions and a 5ft swell.
Now, there’s a rough patch from Tuesday the 21st through the end of the week. Strong cross-shore winds and messy conditions will make it a scramble, not a cruise. By the 23rd, the swell energy jumps way up with a 14-second period swell hitting 1237, but that cross-wind chop is going to be a battle. The swell builds further into the 24th with 6ft surf, but it’s cross-shore and bumpy – that’s expert territory with the size and junky texture.
The long-range call for the 29th and 30th of July is where the real magic might happen. On the 29th, we’ve got a massive jump in energy to 1423 with a long-period groundswell, but it’s cross-shore. Then, Thursday the 30th of July looks like the true standout of the entire forecast. We’re looking at glassy, offshore breezes, a solid 6ft swell from the WSW, and combined energy reading 1189. This is excellent, clean, powerful surf – definitely for experienced surfers given the size and power. The afternoon holds just as good. That’s the one to circle on the calendar.

Information about the Huascar Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Huascar provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Huascar can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Huascar surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Huascar) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Huascar may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
