Huzzawouie (Huzzas) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, I’m Rusty, and here’s how it’s looking for Huzzawouie (Huzzas) over the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a bit of a wait for the good stuff. The first few days are a write-off. Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th are a mess – strong winds, messy cross-onshore chop, and the swell is just not cooperating. You’re better off staying home.

The first real glimmer of hope comes Wednesday the 5th. The swell is already pumping at 15 ft from the WSW, with a long 16-second period. The energy is massive (10,372), and the wind goes light and cross-shore. It’s still a bit raw and the conditions are marginal, but for the experienced crew, there’ll be some thumping sets. The water is 68°, which is about 4° warmer than normal – that’s a nice little bonus.

Thursday the 6th is still solid, but the wind picks up again, making it less clean. By Friday the 7th, forget it – strong winds and storms roll in, the waves get ugly. Saturday the 8th is a real tease. The swell is huge – 20 ft from the SW with a 16-second period – and the wind is clean cross-off. But the forecast says it’s simply too big for this break. That’s a ledge only for the absolute lunatics, if anyone.

The standout period, and the one to circle on your calendar, is Monday the 11th of August. Look at this: 25 ft of SW groundswell, 17-second period, and the wind is a clean cross-off. The swell energy is off the charts at 35,506. This is a massive, powerful, very long-period swell. At a reef break like this, if the direction holds, it could be a session of a lifetime if you’re an expert. But do not paddle out unless you know what you’re doing – 25 ft is not a joke. It’s only for experts.

The following week is a step down in size but still has moments. Wednesday the 13th of August morning is a special window. The swell drops to 10 ft from the SW, but the wind is glassy. Absolutely glassy. For a couple of hours, if the tide is right, you’ll have clean, makeable waves. After that, the wind swings around but stays offshore or clean for much of the week. Friday the 14th afternoon has a solid 13 ft SW swell with a 16-second period and offshore winds – that’s a very good, clean option for the experts.

The last few days of the window (16th-18th) see the swell holding around 13 ft, but the wind turns cross-onshore again, chopping it up. It’s not the best, but the 16th afternoon has light winds and a decent chance for a session.

So, to boil it down: Monday the 11th of August is the massive, undeniable standout – huge, clean, and for experts only. The other gem is Wednesday the 13th of August morning – smaller, glassy, and perfect for a more relaxed paddle if you’re not trying to get pounded. The rest of the time is a mix of too big, too windy, or just okay.

Rusty.
