Huascar Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. This is Rusty, and I’m looking at the surf for Huascar, a point break that’s consistent and works best with a north-west swell direction. The water temp is sitting at 66°F, which is a solid 6°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s a real anomaly, and it’s going to feel like a warm bath, no doubt about that.

The first bit of the next 16 days is a bit of a write-off, to be honest. We’ve got a few days of cross-shore wind and small, messy swell. It’s not until we get to the weekend that things start to turn. Saturday the 12th morning is the first real glimmer – a clean, 3ft south-west swell at 12 seconds, with a light cross-offshore breeze. The wave energy is moderate (324), and it’s looking good, but it’s a short window. The afternoon gets chopped up again.

The standout for the whole period, and I mean the real one, is Tuesday the 15th morning. The wind drops to zero, glassy, dead calm. You’ve got a 3ft south-west swell with a long 14-second period, giving it some real push (457 combined energy). That’s a clean, lined-up point break session. The crowds are a “sometimes” thing here, but on a morning like that, you’ll want to be first in the water.

Another good call is Wednesday the 16th morning – again, glassy conditions with a 3ft swell at 13 seconds. Not as much size, but it’ll be smooth and clean. Then there’s a big gap of poor quality, lumpy, and cross-shore wind until we hit the horizon.

Looking further out, the forecast gets a bit promising but less certain. Monday the 21st afternoon shows a glassy, 4ft south-west swell with a 12-second period and a solid 401 combined energy. That’s a real contender for the best of the second week, the kind of day that could be magic if it holds. Tuesday the 22nd morning also looks glassy with a 3ft south-west swell. Then, right at the end, Thursday the 24th and Friday the 25th mornings are both showing glassy, clean conditions with decent 12-18 second periods – the Friday morning has a very long 18-second period, which at a point break like Huascar is going to produce some beautiful, long-running waves.

So, overall, it’s a slow start, but there are a few proper windows. The best on offer is Tuesday the 15th morning, with that total glass and 3ft groundswell. The 21st afternoon is the long-range one to keep an eye on. Get ready for warm water and some clean point breaks.

Rusty.
