Huzzawouie (Huzzas) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, lookin’ at the charts for the next couple of weeks. It’s a tale of two forecast periods, so let’s get into it.

First up, we’ve got Huzzawouie (Huzzas) on the radar. This reef break is a beginner-friendly spot, but it’s fairly consistent and exposed to the swell, so it usually gets its share of action. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing too wild.

The start of the run is a bit of a write-off. Friday, July 31st, is a total no-go with onshore winds, rain, and a messy 10ft to 13ft swell. The energy is massive (5256 to 8477), but it’s just poor surf. We’ve got a big gap of a couple of days with no real recommendations until we hit Saturday, August 1st. That afternoon is looking like a proper standout. We’ve got a solid 15ft SW swell with a long 15-second period, and the wind is swinging to a gentle cross-off breeze. The energy is cranking (9249), and it’s clean. That’s the one to circle for the experienced crew. Sunday the 2nd drops off a bit with a 10ft swell and cross-shore winds, not ideal.

Monday, August 3rd, is a beauty for the early birds. The morning is glassy, dead calm, with a 7ft SW swell and a long 15-second period. The energy is still strong (1695), but the conditions are excellent for experienced surfers. That’s a real window of opportunity if you can get out there.

Then things get wild again. From Tuesday the 4th through to the 9th, the swell is pumping, but the wind is a mess. We’re looking at 12ft to 23ft SW swells, and the energy numbers are through the roof (over 10,000, hitting 32,245 on the 7th). For a reef break, a long-period swell (15-16 seconds) is usually good, but the wind is either cross-on, onshore, or howling. The 7th afternoon is noted as being too big for this break, and the 8th and 9th are just colossal, with the 8th afternoon seeing a 23ft swell and severe gale winds. That’s not for paddle surfing; that’s a kite surfers’ playground if they’ve got the nerve.

The second week, from August 10th to 15th, is a lot less certain. The swell sticks around, but the wind is a problem. The 10th has a clean cross-off wind, but the swell is 10ft to 12ft, and the energy is moderate (3889 to 5158). It’s a marginal call at best. The 12th and 13th see another massive pulse (16ft to 18ft, energy over 20,000) but the wind is onshore or cross-on, making it a poor bet. The 14th and 15th are just a write-off with onshore gales.

So, the standout is Saturday, August 1st afternoon, with Monday morning, August 3rd, as the clean, glassy backup. The rest is a mixed bag of too big, too windy, or too messy. Stay patient.
