Huascar Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Alright, let’s talk Huascar in feet and knots. Over the next two weeks, it’s a mixed run, but there are two clear windows to keep your eye on. The real standout is Thursday the 16th of July.

Right now Monday the 13th, it’s flat. We’ve got a tiny 2ft WSW swell with a short 9-second period and weak energy (45), plus a light cross-onshore breeze. Not worth the paddle. The afternoon bumps up to 3ft but with a very long 20-second period and massive energy (511). That much period on a point like Huascar will send in proper lines, but the cross wind makes it messy. Marginal.

Tuesday the 14th: morning sees 4ft from the WSW at 15 seconds, energy at 780, but that light cross-onshore wind keeps it from being clean. Afternoon hits 5ft, still WSW, 14-second period, energy at 881 – good size, but again, cross wind. Still feels average.

Wednesday the 15th is similar. Swell stays 4ft to 5ft from the SW, periods around 13 seconds, energy solid (766 to 697). Light cross-onshore or cross wind, so not great.

Now Thursday the 16th of July – this is your pick. Thursday morning we get 4ft SW swell with a 12-second period, but the key thing is glassy conditions. No wind at all. Energy is solid at 382, and it’s described as "expect good surf conditions." Huascar is an advanced point break, and with that clean surface, the SW swell will wrap in nicely. Best window by far. The afternoon stays glassy with 3ft, 293 energy. Crowds can show up sometimes, so get in early.

Friday the 17th starts tiny with 2ft and an onshore wind – rubbish. But Friday afternoon has a decent backup: 4ft WSW, 11-second period, glassy, with 355 energy.

Saturday the 18th morning is messy with cross-onshore, but Saturday afternoon looks clean again – glassy with 3ft W swell at 10 seconds, 333 energy.

Sunday the 19th is blown out. Strong north winds up to 12 knots and rain showers. Skip it.

From Monday the 20th through Wednesday the 22nd, persistent cross winds kick in. Swell sits around 4ft to 6ft from the WSW or SW, periods 10-11 seconds, energy moderate to strong. But with that moderate cross wind and chop, it’s going to be bumpy. Honestly, this looks more like a kite-surfing setup for the beach.

Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th get worse. Strong SSW winds up to 18 knots, lumpy chop, and small swell dropping to 2ft. No good.

Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th stay small and ordinary. The only glimmer is Saturday morning: glassy with 3ft SW swell, but very weak energy (148). You might snag a couple, but it’s average.

Into the second week, Monday the 27th of July morning shapes up nicely again. Glassy with 2ft WSW swell, a long 13-second period, and 264 energy. Not big, but clean and lined up. That’s the other standout at range – promising but less certain. The afternoon gets a bit bumpy.

Tuesday the 28th: more size (5ft WSW) and solid energy (up to 665) but moderate cross winds, so not as clean.

Best bet: Thursday the 16th of July – glassy, consistent, and proper. Monday the 27th is the long-range shout if you’re patient.

Rusty.
