Huzzawouie (Huzzas) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, grab your board and paddle out, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at the next couple of weeks for Huzzawouie (Huzzas). This is a reef break, and it’s fairly consistent when the swell hits, so we’ve got some good days to talk about.

The immediate outlook is a bit of a mixed bag, but the middle of the week has some absolute gems. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.

We kick off Sunday, the 6th of September. The morning is a bit of a write-off with a 13ft SW swell but a fresh offshore wind from the SSE at 19 mph. The combined energy is a strong 4977. The afternoon drops to 8ft from the WSW, still with a fresh offshore. The wave comment flags it as marginal, but it’s clean. The period is a very long 17 seconds, which is groundswell, so it’ll be deeper and more powerful on this reef.

Monday the 7th is where it gets interesting. The morning has a 12ft SW swell with a 16-second period, and a gentle offshore breeze from the SE at 9 mph. The combined energy is 6018, and the wave comment says "exceptional surf conditions for expert surfers." This is a standout. The size is over 8ft, so it’s strictly for the experienced crew. The conditions are glassy clean. The afternoon sees the wind shift to a cross-off from the SSE and gets stronger, so the quality drops a bit.

Tuesday the 8th is the absolute highlight of the whole forecast. The morning session sees a 13ft SW swell with a 16-second period, and a moderate offshore breeze from the ESE at 16 mph. The combined energy is a massive 8195, and the wave comment is "exceptional surf conditions for expert surfers." This is the best on offer – big, powerful, and clean. The afternoon is still incredible with a 12ft WSW swell, a gentle offshore from the SE, and a combined energy of 6917. Again, over 8ft, so experts only. This is a day you call in sick for.

Wednesday the 9th starts to fade. The morning has a 10ft WSW swell with a 15-second period and a cross-off wind from the ENE. The combined energy drops to 4278, and the wave comment is marginal. The afternoon goes cross-shore from the NE, so it’s not great.

From Thursday the 10th through to the end of the first week, the wind turns onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell drops. The conditions become choppy and messy. There’s a lot of marginal surf with poor wind, so it’s not worth paddling out. The combined energy stays in the moderate range.

We have a gap of several days with no real recommendations. The period from Friday the 11th through to Sunday the 13th is a write-off due to strong onshore winds and poor conditions. The swell is still there, but with a fresh cross-shore and lumpy chop, it’s more of a kite-surfing session than a paddle one.

The second week of the forecast is a bit long-range, so keep that in mind. Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th have a consistent 12ft and 8ft WSW swell, but the wind is cross-onshore, so it’s going to be a bumpy, average session. The combined energy is moderate.

The real action in the second week comes on Friday the 18th of September. The morning has a massive 21ft WSW swell with a 15-second period, and a fresh cross-onshore wind. The combined energy is a staggering 18011. The wave comment says "the swell is predicted to be too big for this break." That’s a serious warning. This is massive, powerful, and dangerous – only for the absolute best, and even then, it’s a survival mission. The afternoon is similar but with a strong breeze.

Sunday the 20th of September is another huge day. The morning has a 20ft SW swell with an incredibly long 20-second period, and a moderate cross-shore wind. The combined energy is a massive 30010. Again, the wave comment says it’s too big for the break. This is a monster groundswell that will be breaking way too straight and powerful for a reef break. It’s a spectacle, but not for surfing.

So, to sum it up: your best bet is Tuesday the 8th of September. Get there early for the morning glass-off. Monday the 7th is a close second. The end of the second week is for the big-wave chargers, but that’s a future forecast that could change.

Rusty.
