Huzzawouie (Huzzas) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s break it down.

We’ve got a solid run of swell on the cards for Huzzawouie (Huzzas) over the next couple of weeks, but it’s not all clean and good. The first few days are a write-off. Sunday afternoon the 9th sees a big 13ft SW swell with a very long 16-second period, but strong cross-onshore winds and choppy conditions make it a no-go. Combined wave energy is strong (8365). Water temp is 68°, which is 4° warmer than normal for this time of year — so it’s notably warm, you’ll feel it.

Monday the 10th is even worse: 15ft to 18ft SW swells but with near gale-force cross winds and rain. Not for paddling. By Monday afternoon though, the wind swings cross-offshore and it cleans up, but the swell is big (18ft) and the period drops to 12 seconds – still fairly long, but that size is for experienced surfers only.

Tuesday the 11th is where it starts to get interesting. Early morning: 18ft SW swell, 16-second period, clean with cross-offshore winds and combined energy is huge (14497). That’s a lot of power. This is a standout for strong, confident surfers who can handle big, long-period groundswell at a reef break. The direction (SW) matches the optimum (W) fairly well. Afternoon stays solid but picks up a cross-shore chop.

Wednesday the 12th drops back to 12ft SW swell but winds go cross-onshore and it gets choppy.

Thursday the 13th is a real highlight. Morning has 12ft SW swell with 15-second period and light offshore NW winds – clean. But the afternoon session is the pick: 13ft SW, 17-second period, light cross-shore breeze, combined energy 8574 – that’s a pumping, long-period groundswell with clean conditions. This is for experienced surfers given the size and period.

Friday the 14th afternoon is a cracker for the connoisseur: 10ft SW, 15-second period, glassy conditions – magic. Combined energy moderate (4121). Crowds are possible here often, so get out there early.

From Saturday the 15th through to Sunday the 16th, winds turn cross-onshore and it gets lumpy again. Swell drops to 8-12ft, but it’s messy.

Monday the 17th afternoon is another top-tier moment: 15ft WSW, 17-second period, cross-offshore winds, combined energy 9780 – that’s a big, clean, powerful swell for experts. This is a standout.

Tuesday the 18th morning brings 12ft WSW, 15-second period, glassy – excellent for experienced surfers, though smaller. Afternoon gets windy and choppy.

Wednesday the 19th through Thursday the 20th sees a massive jump to 20ft WNW/WSW swells, but with onshore gales and storms – blown out, dangerous. Not for surfing.

Friday the 21st sees the swell settle to 15ft WSW with cross winds and lumpy conditions – still marginal.

Saturday the 22nd morning is promising: 16ft SW, 17-second period, light cross-onshore wind, combined energy 12908 – that’s a very strong, long-period groundswell. Clean enough for experienced surfers, but that size at a reef in a light cross-on breeze still demands respect.

Sunday the 23rd drops to 12ft SW swells with light winds – decent but not the best.

Monday the 24th fades with onshore winds and poor conditions.

Overall, the two true standouts are Thursday 13th August afternoon and Monday 17th August afternoon – both offer big, clean, long-period SW/WSW groundswell. If you want the glassiest conditions with great shape, Friday 14th August afternoon is the one for the mid-size crew.
