Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
We’ve got a pretty flat and frustrating stretch ahead for Huntington Pier. The next couple of weeks are looking mostly like a write-off, with only tiny, weak swells and onshore or cross-onshore winds ruining any real chance of a decent wave. The water is a touch warmer than normal for July, sitting at 67°, but that’s about the only positive.
For Sunday the 5th, it’s a no-go. Tiny 2ft swell from the SSW with a very long period of 18 seconds, but the wind is on it from the SW at 9 mph, and the combined energy is weak (372). The waves are just messy and weak. Monday the 6th is the same story – 2ft, onshore wind, and no quality. Tuesday the 7th sees a slight bump to 3ft, but it’s still cross-onshore and the energy is only moderate (746). It’s marginal at best.
There’s a real drought here. From now through the middle of the month, you’re looking at days and days of tiny surf with poor conditions. Nothing stands out as worth the paddle. The swell stays below 3ft for most of that time, and when it does touch 3ft, the wind is just wrong.
The one glimmer, and I mean a faint one, is on the morning of Wednesday the 8th. Swell is 3ft from the SSW, period 16 seconds, with a light onshore breeze from the SSW at just 6 mph. Moderate energy (664). It’s marginal – questionable tide conditions – but it’s the closest we get to a clean-ish window. Still, it’s nothing to get excited about.
After that, it’s all downhill. From Thursday the 9th all the way to Monday the 20th, the swell drops below 3ft, with most days seeing 1ft to 2ft. The winds stay onshore or cross-onshore, and the energy levels sink into the weak 100-300 range. For a beginner-friendly spot that is very consistent, it’s a shocking run. At least Huntington Pier usually picks up something, so this kind of blank spell feels worse than it should.
If you are determined to get wet, the Wednesday morning 8th July is your only real shout, and it’s a long shot. For a shortboard? Forget it. This setup is more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddler. For the rest of the 16 days, honestly, save your wax.

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.
