The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what's coming our way. I gotta be straight with you – the 16-day outlook for Huntington Pier is a bit of a bummer. We've got a long stretch of small, weak, and wonky surf ahead.
The best chance for anything worth paddling out for is this very morning, Thursday the 30th of July. We've got a 4.3ft swell from the south, with a period of 14 seconds, giving the water a moderate kick of energy (730). The water is way warmer than usual for this time of year, running at 71.8°. The problem is the wind is blowing onshore from the southwest at 6 mph, so it's not going to be great. The afternoon drops off fast to 3ft, and the rest of the week? It’s a slow, sad decline into the gutter.
From Friday the 31st all the way through to Thursday the 14th of August, the swell just dies. We're looking at wave heights between 1.3ft and 2.6ft, with weak energy readings mostly under 300. The wind is almost always cross-onshore or onshore, creating choppy, bumpy conditions. The forecast is just a whole lot of "poor surf conditions." For a spot like Huntington Pier that's usually consistent, this is a dry spell.
Even when we get a little bump around the 7th and 8th of August with some long period swell (19 seconds), it's still small and the wind messes it up. There's no standout window here, folks. For the entire second week, it's the same story – tiny surf and messy wind. With waves this small and the wind being what it is, it looks like a better setup for kiteboarding than a proper surf session.
This is a tough one to call. Hang in there, check back, and hopefully the forecasts change.

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.
