The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
The only spot on the radar is Huascar, a consistent advanced point break that’s exposed to the swell. The outlook is a bit of a mixed bag, with a few sneaky windows of clean surf but plenty of days where the wind is a problem. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, no major anomalies to report.
The first half of the week is a write-off. Wednesday the 2nd and Thursday the 3rd are poor, with small, messy swell and marginal conditions. Friday the 4th shows some promise. The afternoon looks standout – glassy conditions, a 4ft SW swell with a clean 14-second period, and the combined energy is strong (798). If you can get on it Friday arvo, you’ll score. The wind is glassy, so it’ll be smooth, but expect crowds as it’s a known spot.
Saturday the 5th is a step down. The morning is bumpy with cross-onshore wind, and the afternoon is average. Sunday the 6th and Monday the 7th are pretty ordinary, with small, choppy surf. The best of the week is definitely Friday afternoon.
Looking further out, Tuesday the 8th afternoon could be a sleeper. The wind goes glassy again, with a 3ft SW swell and 14-second period. The energy is moderate (288), so it won’t be pumping, but it’ll be user-friendly and clean. After that, the wind turns nasty. From Wednesday the 9th through to the 17th, the wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, with many days in the fresh breeze range, and the surf quality drops off a cliff. The combined energy fades into the weak range by mid-month, down to 51 on the 16th morning.
The best bet in the whole 16-day window is that Friday 4th September afternoon. It’s the only time the stars align for a truly good session. The rest of the time, you’re either fighting the wind or missing the swell.
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.
