The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at the next couple of weeks for Huntington Beach. Honestly, it’s a pretty flat outlook. The forecast is full of small, weak swell and a lot of onshore wind, so the surf is not going to be anything to get excited about.
The first bit of activity we see is on Monday, the 10th of August. We’ve got a small, long-period groundswell pushing in from the SSW, with wave heights around 2 ft. The period is a decent 14 seconds, which means there’s some energy behind it, but the combined swell energy is only 229 (moderate wave energy). The morning has some clouds and a light WSW breeze, which is onshore. It’s borderline, but the tide and conditions are questionable. Afternoon looks worse, with the wind picking up and the surf dropping to 2 ft. It’s not looking good.
The rest of the week is a bummer. From Tuesday the 11th all the way through to the end of the 16-day window, the forecast is a parade of “poor surf conditions.” The swell stays tiny, mostly between 1 ft and 3 ft, and the wind is consistently onshore from the SW, WSW, or cross-on-shore. The combined swell energy does climb to a high of 574 (moderate wave energy) on Saturday the 15th, but with a 16-second period and a WSW cross-on breeze, it’s not going to be clean. The waves will be small and lumpy.
There’s no standout day. The best you could hope for is a marginal session on the morning of Saturday the 15th, with a 3 ft swell from the SSW and a light wind, but even then, the score is low. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no worries there.
Between the first and last recommendations, there’s a solid stretch of nothing. From the 10th to the 25th of August, it’s a constant run of marginal to poor surf. The swell is just too small and the wind is always working against us. For a spot like Huntington Pier, which is a very consistent, exposed beach break, this is a real dry spell. If you’re a kite surfer, you might get some fun in the stronger winds during the afternoon, but for a paddle surfer, this is a time to wax the board and wait.
This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
