Huzzawouie (Huzzas) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here.

Alright, we’ve got a run of solid groundswell heading for Huzzawouie (Huzzas) over the next two weeks, but it’s not gonna be a walk in the park. This is an exposed reef, and it’s after a clean S/SW swell. The first week is looking like a lot of too-big and messy conditions.

Water temp is sitting at 68°, which is a solid 4° warmer than normal for this time of year—that’s a real gift.

The first flashpoint is Saturday the 8th. A big SW groundswell is coming in at 21 ft at 15-16 seconds. Wave energy is strong, 18,404 in the morning and building to 22,953 in the afternoon. The wind is cross-off and clean, but the swell is just too large for this place. It’ll be a big, unruly mess. Only for the mad ones.

Sunday the 9th eases slightly to 16 ft but it’s cross-shore and lumpy. Not good.

Monday the 10th is a washout—near gale cross-shore winds and a building swell. Forget it.

Now, Tuesday morning the 11th is the big one. The energy spikes to a monstrous 51,852, with a 23 ft SW groundswell at 16 seconds. The wind is clean, cross-off, and the tide is favorable. But this is a full-on beast. At over 8 ft, this is strictly for experts. The reef will be heavy, and it’ll hold a lot of water. If you’re not absolutely on it, give it a miss.

The rest of that week is a struggle. Swell drops to the 10-13 ft range, but the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, making for choppy, lumpy conditions. There’s a slight window on Thursday the 13th afternoon with lighter winds, but it’s still not going to be great.

The second week is pretty average. We get more W/SW swell, but the wind never really cleans up. A moment on Saturday the 15th afternoon sees light onshore winds, but it’s not worth the effort. Also, those longer period swells from the west might be breaking a bit too straight on this setup.

The one to circle on the calendar is Saturday the 22nd. It’s ten days out, so take it with a grain of salt, but the models show a cleaner SW swell at 8-10 ft, with light cross-off winds. The energy is moderate (3,000 - 4,670), and the period is right. This has the potential to be the best, most user-friendly surf of the whole forecast window for experienced surfers. Promising, but a long way off.

To be honest, for the average surfer, the first week is a loss—too big or too messy. The second week is a bit better but still not firing on all cylinders. Keep that Saturday the 22nd in the back of your mind.

Rusty out.
