Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be real about the next couple of weeks for Huntington Pier. We’ve got a long stretch ahead, and honestly, it starts off pretty flat and grim. There isn’t a single standout worth paddling out for in this entire 16-day run, so we’re in for a quiet spell.
Right from Friday the 3rd of July through the next week, the surf is basically a write-off. Swell heights are tiny, mostly hovering around 1ft to 3ft, and the wind is almost always on it or cross-onshore. The water is sitting at 67°, which is about a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s the only bright spot. The combined swell energy is weak, barely cracking 300 to 400 for the first few days, and even when it hits 710 on Tuesday the 7th, the waves are still poor and messy. It’s small, weak, and choppy.
That Tuesday morning the 7th shows a hint of life with a 3ft SSW swell and a long 18-second period, and the wind is light from the SSW, but it’s cross-onshore. That long period will make it a little tricky for a beach setup like Huntington Pier—it’ll want to break straight and be hard to line up. Combined energy climbs to 710, which is moderate, but the surf quality is still marginal at best. It’s not a call to arms.
The rest of the first week and into the second week is more of the same, with swell dropping back to 1ft to 2ft and cross-onshore winds keeping things bumpy. Even when we get a clean-looking light breeze on a few mornings, the swell is just too small to do anything with. By the time we hit Saturday the 18th of July, the combined energy creeps up to 317, but it’s a 2ft SSW swell with 18-second period and a cross-onshore wind—again, not worth the drive.
Honestly, if the wind stays strong and the surf this small, it might be more interesting for the kite crew than for us paddle surfers. There’s no real push, no proper window. Just a whole lot of waiting. The forecast can always change, but right now, it’s a two-week blank. Keep the boards waxed and the coffee hot.

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.
