Hussas Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s break down the next couple of weeks at Hussas. It’s the only spot really on the menu, so we’re locking in on this very consistent reef break for the whole run. Gonna need to pick your moments for the cleanest waves.

Kicking off Tuesday July 21st. The morning session is the top pick early on: a solid 8ft SW groundswell with a 12-second period, and the energy is really cranking (2120). Light cross-off wind from the south at 9 mph, so the surface will be clean. Water temp’s at 67°, which is a little warmer than usual. This is good quality, but at this size, it’s for experienced surfers only.

Tuesday afternoon holds up with a similar swell but the tide might make it a bit tricky.

Wednesday July 22nd, the morning swell drops a little to 7ft, but the wind is cross-on from the east at 6 mph, so expect some little ripples. The energy jumps way up (3977). That afternoon, it gets proper: 12ft SW groundswell at 14 seconds, cross-off wind, clean. Big, powerful, and only for the experienced.

Thursday 23rd is a bust with onshore wind. Friday 24th and Saturday 25th are poor – onshore chop, dropping swell. Don’t bother.

Sunday 26th morning is a complete mess: strong cross-shore wind at 28 mph, creating a nasty cross-chop. The afternoon cleans up a bit but it’s still big and windy.

Now look at Tuesday July 28th afternoon. This is a gem. Gentle offshore wind from the WSW at 9 mph, clean as a whistle, with a 8ft SW swell. The conditions will be glassy. This is your best bet for a really nice session without the crowd.

Wednesday 29th the swell drops to 4-5ft, but the period is a very long 18 seconds. That groundswell will bring long, drawn-out waves, but it might be too straight for the beach breaks. It’ll be clean though.

The end of the month gets a bit ugly with onshore winds again, but the energy builds into Friday July 31st afternoon (5644) with an 12ft WSW swell. The cross-shore wind spoils it though.

Then we get to the big one. Sunday August 2nd afternoon. The swell hits a massive 15ft from the WSW with a very long 19-second period. The energy is through the roof (15316). The wind is a light cross-on, so it stays pretty clean. At nearly 15ft, this is strictly for the elite. The charts even say it might be too big for the break. This is the most exciting, but also most dangerous, window of the whole forecast.

Monday August 3rd through Tuesday 5th keeps the swell around 8-13ft, but with cross-on or strong cross-off winds, it’s going to be a windy, challenging week. Wednesday August 5th morning has a fresh offshore wind at 19 mph with an 12ft WSW swell – that could be absolutely firing for the experts, but it’s a grunty one.

So, the cleanest, most user-friendly standout is Tuesday July 28th afternoon. For the thrill-seekers, Sunday August 2nd afternoon is the one to dream on, but it’s a long way out and seriously heavy. Pick your days and stay safe out there.
