Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get into the Huascar forecast.
This is a reliable point break, open to the NW swell window. Water temp is 17°—not saying it’s warm, but it’s a hair above average for this time of year.
We start slow. Saturday morning, July 11th, the surf is small at 0.7m with a WSW swell, but the period is 12 seconds and the wind is glass—dead calm. Combined energy is moderate (225). That’s the cleanest session of the weekend, tiny but smooth. The afternoon drops to 0.6m, still glassy, just ordinary.
Sunday the 12th is tiny—0.5m, glass all day, but barely any energy (59 to 100). Monday the 13th morning is a no-go with onshore wind. Afternoon sees a jump in period to 20 seconds—very long groundswell—and energy hits 538 but the wind is light cross-shore, so it’s a marginal call.
Tuesday the 14th: morning is 1.3m but onshore. Afternoon: glassy, 1.3m, 14 seconds, energy 656. That’s a proper clean session.
Wednesday the 15th is the gold of the first week. Both sessions are glassy: morning 1.1m, afternoon 1.4m, all from the SW with 13-second periods, energy high (672 to 686). No wind, just clean lines. That’s your best bet early on.
Thursday the 16th afternoon goes glassy again with 1.0m and 12-second period, but it’s modest.
Friday the 17th is small and ordinary. Saturday the 18th: morning is cross-shore and marginal, but the afternoon is glassy—1.4m, 11 seconds, 755 energy. Another standout window.
Sunday the 19th gets serious. Morning has 2.2m, 13 seconds, energy 1590—but it’s cross-onshore. The afternoon, though: glassy, 1.9m WSW, 13 seconds, 1277 energy. This is excellent, powerful surf, but at 1.9m it’s only for experienced surfers.
Monday the 20th stays 2.0m to 2.1m with cross-shore wind and chop. Tuesday the 21st is massive: 4.0m in the morning, 3.5m afternoon, period up to 16 seconds, energy 6824. That’s big, expert-only, but it’s lumpy with cross-wind.
From Wednesday the 22nd, the swell drops but the wind stays cross and fresh—2.2m in the morning fading to 1.5m by Thursday. By Saturday the 26th, it’s 1.3m with short 8-second period and cross-wind. Nothing worth chasing.
So the real standouts: Wednesday the 15th (both sessions) for pure clean fun, and Sunday the 19th afternoon for the big, glassy, expert-level power.
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.
