Huzzawouie (Huzzas) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ at Huzzawouie over the next couple of weeks. We’ve got some serious size and energy heading our way, but it’s not all going to be easy pickings. The first few days are a bit of a write-off.

The first decent opportunity doesn’t roll in until Thursday, July 30th, but it’s nothing to get excited about. We’ve got a 6ft SW swell with a 14-second period, but the wind is blowing cross-onshore from the NNE at 12 mph, making things choppy. The combined energy is a hefty 1781, but the quality is poor. Thursday afternoon cleans up a touch, going to an onshore NNW breeze at 9 mph, but it’s still a marginal call.

Friday, July 31st, is pretty grim. Morning sees a 10ft SW groundswell, but a strong 19 mph NW onshore wind ruins it. The afternoon gets even bigger, 12ft SW, but with 19 mph WSW cross-shore winds, it stays messy.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Saturday, August 1st, is the standout morning-to-afternoon push. The morning cleans up nicely with a cross-offshore SSE breeze at 12 mph on that 12ft SW swell (14 seconds), and the combined energy is pumping at 5186. But the real magic is Saturday afternoon. The wind swings to a gentle offshore from the SE at 9 mph, grooming a solid 13ft SW groundswell with a 15-second period. The energy is massive at 7887, and the report says "exceptional surf conditions for expert surfers". This is a big, powerful reef wave; it’s going to be absolutely pumping. For experienced hands only – this is your window.

Sunday, August 2nd, sees the swell drop back to 10ft SW, but the wind goes messy again. Monday, August 3rd, offers another clean session, especially the morning with a light offshore from the SE at 6 mph on a 7ft SW swell. A good one for the more experienced, with a combined energy of 1751.

The next real highlight is Tuesday, August 4th (morning) . We’ve got a clean, almost glassy offshore from the SSE at only 3 mph, on a 12ft SW groundswell with a long 17-second period. That is a proper, powerful groundswell. The energy reading is a massive 7779, and conditions are "exceptional for expert surfers". The long period means nice, fat, lined-up waves, perfect for this reef setup.

The rest of the first week is a mix of huge clean swells and strong, tricky winds. Thursday, August 6th, is still big and clean in the morning, but the wind is onshore. By Friday, August 7th, a 28 mph WNW wind blows everything out, and Saturday, August 8th, is a full-on 20ft SW swell with near-gale-force winds – that’s kite-surf territory, not paddling.

After that, the swell stays big and the winds get messy again through to the second week. There are a few more moments of clean, huge surf, like Monday, August 11th, and Tuesday, August 12th, with 18ft to 21ft SW swells and offshore winds. The combined energy is astronomical (16,836 on the 11th, 30,063 on the 12th). The forecast even says it’s too big for the break. Unless you are a charging, top-tier big-wave surfer, give those sessions a miss. It’s a wild pattern, but for the rest of us, the weekend is the only real play.

Stay safe, check your local tides, and don’t be a hero in the 20ft stuff.

Rusty.
