Huzzawouie (Huzzas) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cooking at Huzzawouie.

Right off the bat, we’re looking at a solid run of surf, but you’ve got to be patient through the weekend. Saturday is a write-off. The wind is howling onshore from the NNW at 35 km/h, and the swell is a messy 12 feet. It’s just not happening. That continues into the afternoon with rain and more onshore wind. A real bummer to start the forecast.

But then Sunday, the 6th of September, things flip. The wind swings around to the SSE at 30 km/h, going offshore, and we’ve got a clean 13 foot SW swell. The combined energy is strong at 6056. It’s a bit of a beast, but the conditions are clean. Sunday afternoon even gets a 7/10 score from me, with 12 feet and the same offshore wind. This is where the window opens for the experienced crew.

Now, the real standout is Monday morning, the 7th of September. You’ve got an 12 foot SW groundswell with a very long period of 16 seconds, and the wind is light offshore from the SE at 15 km/h. The combined energy is a massive 6307. This is the kind of day that reef breaks like Huzzawouie were made for. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so nothing weird there. The long period means the sets will be fat and powerful, with good gaps between them. Expect some crowds, though, as it’s often busy here. This is the pick of the first week.

Tuesday the 8th is another beauty. Another 13 foot WSW swell, again with a 16-second period, and offshore wind from the SE at 25 km/h. The energy is off the charts at 7971. This is expert territory for sure, but the quality is undeniable. The afternoon stays clean with a cross-offshore breeze. If you’re charging, this is your window.

Things start to taper off after Wednesday the 9th. The wind goes cross or cross-on, and the swell drops. We get a few days of marginal surf through the 10th and 11th, with lumpy, choppy conditions. The 12th and 13th see a bit of a pulse, but the wind is messy again. A real mixed bag through the middle of the month.

Now, into the second week, we get a couple of flickers. The 14th of September has a 10 foot WSW swell with a 14-second period, but the wind is light and cross or cross-on. It’s rideable, but nothing special. The 15th and 16th are mostly blown out or choppy, with strong onshore winds. The 17th and 18th look like a write-off with onshore gales and rain.

But hold on. The 19th of September (Saturday) and the 20th (Sunday) are absolute monsters. We’re talking an 18 foot to 21 foot WSW swell with periods of 15 to 18 seconds. The combined energy is through the roof – 18435 and 17334. The wind is cross or light cross-on, so it’s not completely blown out, but the forecast is clear: the swell is predicted to be too big for this break. This is for big-wave chargers only, and even then, it’s a serious call. The 20th of September has a 21 foot swell and light wind, which is a rare and dangerous combo. Keep an eye on this one, but don’t be a hero.

Overall, the best on offer is Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th. That’s your window for clean, powerful, long-period groundswell with offshore winds. After that, it’s a waiting game for the giants at the very end of the run.

Rusty.
