Huzzawouie (Huzzas) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking over the next couple of weeks.

The outlook starts quiet and rough, but there’s a big pulse of energy coming that will make the wait worthwhile. The main focus is Huzzawouie (Huzzas), a reef break that’s fairly consistent and handles a good west swell. The water is sitting at 66°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – nothing crazy, just a little extra warmth on your skin.

The first few days are a write-off. Monday the 24th and Tuesday the 25th are plagued by onshore wind and messy conditions, with swell in the 8 ft to 10 ft range but blown out and poor. You won’t want to be out there.

Then Wednesday the 26th is where things get interesting. Early morning sees a 16 ft swell from the WSW with a very long period of 18 seconds. The wave energy is massive, reading a whopping 14437. The wind is cross-offshore from the south, so the surf should be clean. This is big, powerful groundswell – well over 8 ft, so it’s for experienced crew only. The period is so long that at a beach break it can make things too straight, but on this reef, it should line up nicely. Wednesday afternoon holds similar size and quality, just with a slight drop in period to 17 seconds. This is the standout window.

Thursday the 27th still has solid 13 ft to 12 ft swell from the WSW/SW, with clean conditions but a bit more wind. Still good for those who can handle it. Friday the 28th sees the swell drop to a manageable 8 ft from the SW with gentle offshore SSE wind in the morning – excellent conditions for experienced surfers. Saturday the 29th brings a small but long-period 4 ft swell from the SW with a period of 19 seconds, and light cross-offshore wind, but at that size it’s more of a longboard session with really long waits between sets.

From Sunday the 30th onward, the wind turns onshore or cross-on for several days, and the swell stays in the 8 ft to 10 ft range but with poor quality. A second pulse arrives around Wednesday the 2nd of September with another 16 ft WSW swell, but the wind is cross-shore to onshore, making it lumpy. The rest of the first week of September looks messy with fresh cross-onshore winds and poor-to-marginal conditions, until around Saturday the 6th when the wind swings cross-offshore again, and the swell drops to a cleaner 8 ft to 10 ft from the SW. That’s a promising window for the second week, though it’s a bit further out.

In short: the big standout is Wednesday the 26th and Thursday the 27th of August at Huzzawouie, with massive, clean, powerful surf for experts only. After that, Friday the 28th morning offers a nice drop in size with excellent conditions. The rest of the run has a few salvageable days but nothing that matches that mid-week peak.
