The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down what's cookin' at Huascar. This is a consistent point break for the advanced crew, and it likes a good NW swell. The water's at 66°F, which is way warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might be in a spring suit.
Right off the bat, it’s flat. Monday the 14th has some weak, knee-high junk from the SW, and it's cross-shore and choppy. Not worth a second look.
Tuesday the 15th is where we get a pulse. Swell hits about 3ft from the SW, but the real story is the wind. Tuesday morning is dead calm, glassy. The energy is moderate (459), so it'll be small but clean on the point. That’s our first real window.
Wednesday the 16th morning is the same deal – 3ft and glassy. Energy is lower (210), but for a clean point wave, you take what you can get.
Then it goes dead. From Thursday the 17th all the way to Wednesday the 24th, it's a long stretch of flatness and poor wind. You’re looking at over a week of nothing.
Things finally stir on Thursday the 24th with a 3ft swell, but it’s cross-onshore, so it’s only marginal.
The one to circle is Saturday the 27th. Early morning brings 5ft of SW groundswell, a 11-second period, and a light offshore breeze from the NNE. It’s glassy. The combined energy is a solid 536. That’s proper point surf – clean, long walls, with some punch. It's for experts at that size, and the crowds *sometimes* show up, so get there early.
Saturday the 26th morning is also worth a look, with 4ft and glassy conditions, but the energy is much higher (855), which could make it a bit unruly but still very good.
After that, it drops off fast. By Monday the 29th, it's back to tiny, weak waves.
So, don’t bother with this week. Your only real play is that Saturday the 27th morning. That’s the one.
Rusty.

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.
