Huzzawouie (Huzzas) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about what’s coming up for Huzzawouie. We've got a bit of a rollercoaster ahead, so let's break it down.

The immediate picture is a bit grim, with Monday afternoon bringing a strong, choppy, cross-onshore wind off the water. It’s blown out, not worth paddling out for. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at about 67°F.

Tuesday the 21st is where things start to turn. The morning is looking like the pick of the early window. We've got a solid 8ft groundswell rolling in from the southwest with a nice 12-second period. The wind is a gentle cross-offshore breeze, which means the faces will be clean. This is good, powerful surf, but at 8ft it's really for experienced surfers only. The afternoon holds similar size and a slightly longer period of 13 seconds, but the conditions are more marginal.

Wednesday the 22nd is a standout. The swell jumps up to 12ft from the southwest, with a long 14-second period. The energy is pumping—just look at that 4310 reading on the combined energy. The morning has clean conditions with a light cross-offshore breeze, and by the afternoon we get full-on offshore wind from the southeast. This is going to produce some excellent, powerful, and clean waves. This is big surf, well over 8ft, so only for the experts. You'll want to be on a reef or point break setup like Huzzawouie for these long-period swells, as they can close out on a beach break.

From Thursday the 23rd onwards, the quality takes a dip. The wind shifts around and gets messy, and the swell drops. Friday through the weekend is mostly choppy or cross-onshore, with the swell fluctuating between 5ft and 13ft but the wind just ruins it. Sunday the 26th is a write-off with a strong cross-onshore breeze and a messy 13ft swell.

The second week is a mixed bag. We see some interesting pulses—a 10ft swell on Tuesday the 28th afternoon with a light cross-offshore breeze looks promising for experienced surfers again, but it's a long way off. However, things go downhill fast after that. From Wednesday the 29th onwards, we are looking at a series of strong onshore and cross-onshore winds, with rain and even a risk of thunderstorms. The swell stays up, but the wind is consistently gale-force or near-gale, making it a complete mess for paddle surfing. A big 20ft swell is forecast for Tuesday the 4th of August, but the wind is onshore and the energy reading is a massive 17428. The file says it's too big for this break, so that's a definite no-go.

So, to sum it up: The clear standout is Wednesday the 22nd of July. Get on it if you’re an experienced surfer. Tuesday the 21st morning is a solid second choice. The rest of the window is largely disappointing with poor wind conditions, especially from the 29th onwards where it's a write-off for paddle surfing. Stick to the first few days and don't get your hopes up for the rest.

Stay stoked, but be patient.
