The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Huntington Pier.
To be real with you, this stretch looks pretty grim. The whole 16-day window is dominated by tiny, weak swell – we’re talking 1ft to 3ft at best, mostly from the SSW or SW. The wave energy is weak too, with combined energy readings mostly in the low hundreds (115 to 476), so there’s just not much grunt behind it. The wind is almost constantly cross-onshore or onshore – light to gentle breezes mostly, but still enough to mess up an already small wave. The score is a flat zero across nearly every session, with just a couple of marginal 1-out-of-10 calls on the 13th and 14th of August.
There’s a stretch from the 2nd of August well into the middle of the month with absolutely nothing worth paddling out for. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. Honestly, this is one of those periods where you’re better off leaving the board in the car. The break is very consistent, but with no swell to work with, that doesn’t mean a thing.
There’s no standout here. If you’re desperate, the only whisper of something slightly better comes on the morning of Thursday the 13th of August, with a 2ft, 16-second SSW groundswell, light onshore wind, and the energy bumping up to 212 – still poor, but it’s the only session that even sniffs a 1. Don’t get your hopes up.
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.
