Hussas Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. We've got one spot on the radar for the next couple of weeks, and it's a proper reef setup. The water temperature is sitting at 65°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might get away with a thinner wetsuit.

We start off with a bit of a wait. The first surf worth mentioning kicks off on Sunday, the 6th of September. It's not a classic day, but there's surf. Sunday morning brings a solid 10ft swell from the WSW with a 12-second period, and the combined energy is a hefty 4214 (strong wave energy). The wind is a cross-off from the SSE at 19 mph, so it's clean but a bit onshore. The afternoon cleans up the look with the same wind state, but the swell drops to 8ft and the period stretches to a very long 17 seconds. That's a proper groundswell. The energy is massive at 6208 (strong wave energy). It's a solid start, but the rating is a little held back by tide, so keep your expectations in check.

Monday, the 7th, is where things start to get interesting. Morning sees a 12ft swell from the SW with a 16-second period and a combined energy of 6018 (strong wave energy). The wind is a cross-shore from the SE at 9 mph, creating a gentle cross-chop. It's a decent look, but the afternoon sees the wind pick up to 19 mph which will mess with the surface a bit.

The standout window for the first week looks like Tuesday, the 8th of September. The morning session brings a pumping 13ft swell from the SW, still with a 16-second period, and the energy is up at 8397 (strong wave energy). The wind is a cross-shore from the ESE at 12 mph, which is creating a moderate cross-chop. It's a big, powerful swell, so this is for experienced surfers only. The afternoon cleans up a little with a lighter breeze, but the swell drops to 12ft.

Things go a bit average from Wednesday the 9th through to the end of the first week as onshore winds and poor conditions move in. By Friday the 11th, we get a clean morning with a light cross-off breeze from the WNW at 6 mph and a 7ft swell from the WSW, but it's a bit weak.

Now, here's the real highlight. The period from Sunday the 13th through to the end of the run is looking mighty. Sunday the 13th is a beauty. The morning has a 12ft swell from the WSW with a 14-second period and a fresh offshore wind from the SW at 19 mph. The water will be glassy. The energy is 5008 (strong wave energy). The afternoon turns it up a notch with a 13ft swell from the same direction, a 14-second period, and a moderate offshore wind from the SSW at 12 mph. The energy jumps to 5668 (strong wave energy). This is exceptional for experts.

The real monster, however, is brewing for the end of the second week. Friday, the 18th of September, is looking like a proper life-risking swell. The morning has a 16ft swell from the WSW with a very long 17-second period and a clean cross-off wind from the W at 19 mph. The energy is an astronomical 14950 (very strong wave energy). The afternoon is even bigger, with a 18ft swell from the W with a 16-second period, dropping the energy slightly to 14146. This is for the absolute elite crew only. Saturday the 19th shows a massive 20ft swell in the morning, but the wind is a messy cross-shore, so it's a write-off. The afternoon of the 19th, however, switches to a fresh offshore from the SW at 19 mph with a 16ft swell, and the energy is 11724. That could be the session of the year if you're brave enough.

The run ends on Monday the 21st with a 13ft swell from the SW, a 16-second period, and a clean cross-off wind from the WSW at 16 mph. The energy is 8031. A solid way to finish.

Keep in mind, this is a very consistent reef break, so it handles big swell well, but it can get crowded. For the best of the best, I'd be circling Sunday the 13th and Friday the 18th. The 18th is a long-range call, so it's promising but not a lock yet. The 13th looks more certain.

Rusty out.
