Table - best surf conditions forecast for Huntington Pier over the next 16 days.
Alright, let's break it down in feet and miles per hour.
Straight up, Rusty here. The next ten days are a no-go for Huntington Pier. We’re looking at a dry spell until Sunday, July 19th. That’s a long stretch of flat and choppy water.
Water temp is sitting around 67°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Nothing wild, but you’ll feel it.
The only real standout is that Sunday, July 19th. A new S swell arrives, pushing 4ft by the afternoon with a 18-second period. That’s real groundswell energy. The combined energy is a massive 2193, which is strong. The wind is a light cross-onshore from the WSW, so it’ll be a bit textured but not blown out. Because it’s a beach break, that long period will mean better-shaped waves but longer waits between sets. Crowds are going to be a problem.
Monday, July 20th keeps the swell alive, with 5ft to 6ft from the S. The morning looks cleaner with light S winds, but the afternoon gets onshore from the SW. At 6ft, this is for experts only. Crowds are inevitable.
After that, it’s back to small, weak, and choppy. The 1ft to 2ft stuff we see in the second week just isn’t worth the session. The wind is never clean offshore, so it’s a long wait for one decent, albeit crowded, pulse.
Rusty.

Information about the Huntington Pier Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Huntington Pier provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Huntington Pier can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Huntington Pier 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 (Huntington Pier) 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 Huntington Pier 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.
