The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the same outlook for Huntington Pier, but in feet and Fahrenheit.
We’re staring down a long, flat stretch with a lot of choppy, onshore wind. From Wednesday the 22nd through the end of the month, the swell is tiny, between 2ft and 4ft, with mostly cross-onshore or onshore wind. The wave energy is weak to moderate (461 to 834). The period is long, 12 to 24 seconds, which would usually be something to talk about, but the wind is just ruining it. It’s gonna be bumpy and not worth paddling out for.
The real window opens up around Friday the 31st of July. Friday morning shows 4ft from the SSE with a 15-second period and light cross-onshore wind. It’s marginal, but rideable. The best session is Friday afternoon: the swell jumps to 5ft from the S, still a solid 15-second period, with light onshore wind. The energy hits 1287, which is moderate to strong. Then Saturday morning the 1st of August, the swell peaks at 6ft from the S, 13-second period, and light onshore wind. That’s your standout—bigger, cleaner, with good energy (1060). But 6ft is getting into expert territory, so keep that in mind. The afternoon on Saturday gets blown out by a moderate breeze, so get out early.
Water temp is about normal for the season.
After that, the swell drops back to knee-high and onshore, so the second week is a write-off.
Your best bet is Saturday morning the 1st of August at Huntington Pier. Swell at 6ft from the S, 13-second period, and light offshore wind. It’s the only real clean window in a flat, poor stretch. Just remember, it’s an exposed beach break, so with that long-period groundswell, the waves might be a bit straight and hard to line up.
Rusty out.

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.
