Huzzawouie (Huzzas) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, grab your wettie, because what we’ve got on the radar for Huzzawouie (Huzzas) is a proper winter slab of a forecast. We ain't got much to work with for the next week, but the first two sessions are pure gold for those who know what they’re doing.

The window starts Tuesday morning, September 8th. Look, this is a big one. We're talking a solid 13ft of WSW groundswell pumping in with a 16-second period. That’s some serious, raw energy – the combined energy reading is a massive 7820. This is not a day to be messing around if you’re just starting out. This is strictly for the experienced crew who can handle a heavy, powerful reef break. The wind is a light ESE offshore, which is going to hold that face up and keep it clean. The water is sitting at a touch warmer than normal at 65°F, so you won’t be freezing your butt off between sets. The conditions are going to be exceptional, but the size is the story.

The forecast rolls straight into Tuesday afternoon, with the swell dropping slightly to 12ft but still holding its 16-second period and the energy is still strong at 7126. Wind goes a touch lighter and more southerly, but it's still offshore, which will keep it glassy. This is another excellent, expert-level window. If you can get out there on Tuesday, do it.

Wednesday, September 9th, sees the swell back off to 10ft in the morning, with the period holding at 15 seconds. The wind swings ENE and picks up to 25 km/h as a cross-offshore. It’s still surfable, but it’s going to be a step down in quality from Tuesday. The afternoon actually looks cleaner, with the wind dropping to a mere 5 km/h and going slightly more easterly, leaving the 8ft swell looking pretty clean. But the power is definitely fading.

From Thursday, September 10th, things get ordinary. The swell drops further to around 7ft, and the wind turns onshore from the NE in the morning. The energy is dropping fast. There’s a brief window on Thursday afternoon with a 7ft swell and a glassy NNW wind that might give you a few clean leftovers, but it's not going to be anything special.

Then we hit a rough patch. Friday through to Sunday, September 12th and 13th, the wind is just bad. It’s coming in from the west and north-west, putting a nasty cross-onshore chop on everything. The swell stays in the 6-10ft range but it’s going to be lumpy and messy. Saturday is a complete write-off, with fresh cross-onshore winds and poor surf conditions. Not worth paddling out for a beating.

There is a brief respite on Monday, September 14th, with the wind easing off to a light breeze. The swell has bounced back up to a solid 12ft with a 14-second period, but the direction is still a bit cross-shore. It might be a bit raw, but for the more experienced, it could offer some bigger, softer waves. Then Tuesday, September 15th, the wind turns cross-offshore again (SE and S) and we get a 10ft and 8ft swell that cleans up nicely. It’s a bit of a step down from Tuesday’s epic, but it’s a decent middle-of-the-week option.

After that, the model is all over the place. The surf stays around the 8ft mark going into the middle of the week, but the wind is inconsistent. Then the long-range forecast for the following week, starting around September 18th, shows some serious size building back in, but it’s tied to strong westerly and north-westerly winds. Friday the 18th looks like it could be huge, but it’s also looking completely blown out with near-gale winds. Saturday the 19th has more of the same and Sunday the 20th isn't looking any better, with onshore winds and a complete lack of quality despite a building 13ft swell. It’s a lot of water moving around, but it’s going to be a washing machine.

The real standout here is unmissable: Tuesday is the day. Big, long-period, clean groundswell with light offshore winds. If you can only pick one session, that’s the one. The only other day that looks like a proper surf is Monday the 14th, but the quality won’t be as good.
