Huzzawouie (Huzzas) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. We’ve got a solid run of swell on the way for Huzzawouie (Huzzas), but you’ll need to be patient and pick your moments. The water is sitting at 67°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – a real treat.

The first proper surf kicks off Monday afternoon, 10th August, but it’s a heavy one. A big 18ft SW groundswell with a 12-second period is pumping in, with an extreme combined energy of 8512. The problem is a strong 28 mph cross-offshore wind is making it messy. It’s poor surf, and at that size, it’s only for experts. Hold off.

Tuesday morning, 11th August, is where the real stand-out moment arrives. The swell is still holding at 18ft SW, but the period has stretched to a very long 16 seconds, and the energy is massive at 15270. The wind has dropped to a fresh 19 mph cross-off, which is clean. The forecast says wind and tide are favourable, but the swell is predicted to be too big for this break. This is a true expert-only window, and the raw power will be something to witness. The wind comes more cross in the afternoon, making it marginal.

The rest of the first week stays solid, with 13ft to 12ft SW swell, but the wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, keeping things a bit lumpy. Thursday morning, 13th August, is a nice clean window with light NNW offshore winds and 12ft SW swell at 16 seconds – that’s a decent session for experienced surfers, with a combined energy of 7230.

From Friday through the weekend, the swell drops slowly, and the wind turns more cross-onshore, so it’s on the softer, choppier side. Not the best.

There’s a gap of poor conditions on Monday 17th, with strong gale-force winds making it a write-off, then Tuesday 18th August sees a return of 15ft WSW swell with a very long 16-second period, and light NNE winds. Clean lines, but it’s big and powerful – combined energy of 12112. Another one for the experienced crew.

The best of the entire forecast, without a doubt, is Saturday 22nd August. In the morning, we’ve got a 15ft WSW groundswell with a very long 17-second period, a moderate 16 mph offshore wind from the SE, and the forecast calls it exceptional for expert surfers. The combined energy is a massive 11054. The afternoon sees 13ft WSW swell with 16-second period and clean offshore winds too. This is the standout window for the whole 16 days. It’s big, it’s clean, and it’s powerful.

Sunday 23rd August is still good with 12ft WSW swell and light cross-offshore winds, but it’s not as big.

The final run from Monday 24th into Tuesday 25th August is a bit of a messy end with onshore winds and lumpy conditions, so the best bets are definitely the 22nd and the early part of the 18th.

Rusty.
