The Lowdown
Alright, let’s look at what’s coming down the line. Huascar is the only spot in the mix — a consistent advanced point break that likes a NW swell, but we’re stuck with SW for the whole 16-day run. That mismatch keeps the quality in check.
Right from the opener on Monday the 7th, the surf is there but not really worth paddling out. Two-foot SW swell, cross-shore wind, and a marginal tag on it. Water temp is 65°F, which is running about 5°F warmer than usual. That’s a big warm anomaly.
Tuesday the 8th, morning, is the first real highlight. Swell is 3ft from the SW, period 14 seconds — that’s a long period groundswell. And then the magic: the wind goes glassy. Northwest at just 3 mph. Combined energy is 319 (moderate). For a point break, this could be silky and fun. No crowds mentioned, so you’ll have it quiet. That’s the best early window.
Then we wade through a few days of messy cross-shore winds until Saturday the 12th, morning. Now we get a bigger bump: 5ft SW swell, combined energy 419 (moderate). The period drops to 9 seconds, so it’s more of a short period swell, but the wind is clean cross-offshore from the south at 6 mph. Clean surf at that size for an advanced break is your second standout. Saturday afternoon goes bad with 16 mph cross-shore wind, so get out early.
The rest of the first week and into the second is a mess of stronger winds and poor conditions. Tuesday the 15th morning offers a small 3ft SW swell with 14 seconds and clean wind, but it’s only marginal.
From the 17th onward, the swell just gives up. Two-foot, then 1ft. Combined energy drops into the weak two-digit numbers. There’s a tiny moment on the 22nd, Tuesday morning, with 2ft and glassy conditions, but the energy is only 70 (weak). It’s surfable, barely.
So the honest take is: two real windows. Tuesday the 8th morning (glassy, 3ft) and Saturday the 12th morning (5ft, clean). Everything else is a no-go or just junk. If you miss those, the next two weeks are a flat, windy bust for this spot.

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.
