Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s shaking for Huntington Pier over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, the first two weeks of this forecast are a bit of a write-off. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak, and messy surf. The wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, and the wave energy is low. It’s not until the very end of the window that things start to look interesting.
Right now, from Friday the 10th through to Thursday the 23rd, it’s a grind. The swell is tiny, mostly around 1ft to 3ft from the SSW or SW, with short periods. The wind is a constant problem, blowing from the south or southwest, making it choppy and bumpy. The combined swell energy is in the low to mid hundreds, weak stuff. The water temp is sitting at 67°F which is about normal for this time of year, so no surprises there. Honestly, for a spot like Huntington Pier, which is exposed and very consistent, this is a flat spell.
There are a few mornings, like Monday the 13th and Wednesday the 15th, where the wind is light and the period gets a bit longer (18 seconds on the 15th), but the swell is still tiny at 1ft to 3ft. These are barely worth a paddle for a longboard, and the scores are still marginal. Crowds are often an issue here, but with surf this poor, you might have the place to yourself.
The first real glimmer of hope shows up on Friday the 25th of July. The morning looks promising. We’ve got a solid groundswell from the S at 4ft with a 16-second period. The combined energy jumps to 1343, which is strong. The wind is light from the SW, which is onshore, but the forecast says it’s clean. This is a proper long-period groundswell, which means the lines will be clean and the waves will have push, but it might break a bit straight at the pier. Keep an eye on that afternoon though, as it jumps to 6ft with 15 seconds, which is getting into the expert-only zone, and the wind picks up a touch.
So, the standout is Friday the 25th of July. Huntington Pier will see a solid 4ft swell from the S, clean conditions, and strong energy. It’s the only real highlight in the whole 16 days. If you’ve been waiting, that’s your window.
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.
