Huascar Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Huascar. This is a consistent, advanced-level point break that’s exposed to the swell, and it’s been waiting for the right windows. The water’s sitting at about 63°, which is roughly a degree warmer than usual for this time of year – not a massive shift, but definitely noticeable.

We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but things kick off proper on Thursday, July 9th. The morning is a bit messy with a light cross-onshore breeze, but the afternoon is where it’s at. We’re looking at clean 3ft swell from the SW with a 15-second period, and the wind goes glassy. That’s a solid combo for a point break – long period groundswell like this really loves a setup like Huascar. The combined energy is moderate (523), and it’s going to feel smooth and lined up. This is your best bet early on.

Friday, July 10th follows a similar pattern – mornings are a little cross-on, but afternoons turn glassy again. The swell drops a touch to 3ft–3ft, still from the SW/WSW, with a period around 12–13 seconds. It’s not as punchy, but still clean and fun. Saturday, July 11th sees the swell drop further to 2ft–3ft with a shorter period, but the glassy afternoon windows keep it rideable.

Sunday, July 12th is a bit of a write-off – cross-shore wind and smaller, weaker swell (138 combined energy). The start of the next week, Monday and Tuesday mornings, are flat and weak. But hold on, because Tuesday afternoon, July 14th, is another standout. The swell picks up to 4ft from the WSW, period 13 seconds, and it’s glassy. The combined energy jumps to 612, and the point should be running nicely.

Wednesday, July 15th is the real highlight of the whole run. We’ve got 5ft–5ft of SW swell, period 13 seconds, and glassy conditions all day. The combined energy is strong (803 in the morning, 730 in the afternoon). The water’s clean, the wind is off, and the waves are going to be pushing through with proper shape. This is the one to circle – but keep in mind, at around 5ft, it’s getting into the zone where beginners might find it a bit much.

Thursday, July 16th still has some clean afternoon waves (3ft, glassy, 329 energy), but then the swell backs off significantly. Friday, July 17th is tiny and not worth the paddle. However, Saturday, July 18th brings a bigger pulse – 6ft from the WSW, but the wind is cross-on, so it’s a bit bumpy. Still, the energy is solid (779–796). The real gem comes Sunday, July 19th – clean glassy morning, 5ft, and then a clean cross-off in the afternoon with 6ft and 892 energy. That’s the second real standout: big, clean, and very likely powerful.

After that, the swell fades through the following week, with a few smaller, clean windows but nothing that’ll get the heart pumping. The period drops, the energy weakens, and by the end of the window, it’s mostly poor surf with small, choppy waves. So, if you’re looking for the best of the best, aim for the afternoon of July 9th, the full day of July 15th, and Sunday July 19th.

Rusty.
