Huzzawouie (Huzzas) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what the next couple of weeks are shaping up like for Huzzawouie (Huzzas). Right off the bat, don't get too excited about this weekend. It's a bit of a write-off. We've got a solid 8ft to 10ft of groundswell (WSW) pushing through Saturday and Sunday, but the wind is a cross-on mess, blowing 15 to 19 mph, turning the ocean into a lumpy, choppy disaster. The wave energy is massive though, hitting 2629 to 3941, but it's just not clean. Water temp is sitting at 66°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.

The real action starts to kick off on Monday the 17th. The swell builds to a solid 13ft from the WSW with a period of 17 seconds, giving it some serious grunt. The combined energy jumps to 8762, which is powerful. But the wind is messy on Monday morning, a cross-shore 22 mph, making it a bit of a battle. It's a big, powerful swell, over 8ft, so this is strictly for the experienced crew. Monday afternoon gets ugly with 28 mph winds, so forget that.

Tuesday the 18th is a mixed bag. The swell is still a strong 15ft to 13ft (WSW, 16-second period), but the wind is degrading. Morning is a cross-on, but the afternoon of Tuesday has an offshore wind (WNW, 16 mph) that could clean things up, even with the size. The energy is still huge, around 8655. This is for experts only.

Wednesday the 19th, the afternoon is a standout. The swell is a meaty 15ft (WSW, 15 seconds), but the wind swings to a cross-off from the SSW at 12 mph, and the report says "clean." That's a winner. The energy is 8966. This is the first real window of quality surf for the big-wave hunters.

The highlight of the whole forecast period for me is the stretch from Friday the 21st through to Sunday the 23rd. The swell drops a bit, but it's still a very solid 12ft to 8ft from the SW, with nice periods of 14 to 18 seconds. The wind is the key: glassy conditions on Friday morning and Saturday morning, with light offshore or cross-off breezes the rest of the time. The water will be clean, lined up, and the energy is strong, around 4091 to 4984. This is the best window for experienced surfers looking for quality, clean waves. The swell direction is from the SW, which is a good match for the break's optimum W direction.

Monday the 24th and Tuesday the 25th see the wind turn bad again, with strong cross-on winds on Monday and big NW winds. It's a write-off for Monday. Tuesday the 25th, though, the wind goes offshore (ESE, 9-12 mph), and the swell is a clean 10ft to 8ft (SSW, 11 seconds). The energy is a solid 2033 to 2410. The period is a bit short, but the offshore wind will make it rideable.

The end of the first week and into the second week, from the 26th to the 29th, sees a drop in size. It's a smaller, more manageable swell, 5ft to 8ft, with periods of 13 to 17 seconds. The wind is mostly offshore or cross-off, keeping things clean. The energy is moderate to strong, 1425 to 4150. This is a good window for the intermediate crew, but the size is fickle.

The month finishes with a bang on the 30th, but it's a messy one. A big 13ft swell (WSW, 17 seconds) with 16 to 19 mph cross-on winds. The energy is 8546, but it's a complete mess. Skip it.

So, the absolute best on offer is the period from Friday the 21st through Sunday the 23rd. Clean, glassy conditions, solid SW groundswell, and good energy. That's the one to circle. For the big-wave experts, Wednesday the 19th afternoon is a solid call. Keep in mind, the long-range stuff for the 28th looks promising, but it's a bit further out, so treat it with a grain of salt. The crowds can be a factor here, so get out early.

Rusty.
