Huzzawouie (Huzzas) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s dive into the outlook for Huzzawouie (Huzzas). This is a reef setup, so we’re looking at a specific kind of wave. The water is sitting at 66°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – not a massive shift, but a little pleasant surprise.

The 16-day window kicks off with a solid pulse of energy, but it’s a bit of a mixed bag. The first few days are going to be tricky. We’ve got a big, long-period SW groundswell rolling in from the 22nd of August, with 10ft faces and a 16-second period. The combined energy is sitting at 3953, which is a healthy, moderate-to-strong push. The problem is the wind. It’s a cross-off breeze, which helps hold the face up, but the conditions are described as marginal, with tide concerns. That big period means the reef will be working, but the sets will be long and drawn out. Saturday morning is the best of the early days, but it’s not a standout.

The swell hangs around through the 23rd and 24th, but the wind swings onshore from the NNW, making things messy. By Monday the 25th, we’ve got fresh to strong breezes and rain, so the surf quality drops right off. It’s a write-off for a few days.

The standout window is Wednesday the 26th of August. This is where it gets real. We’ve got a massive 18ft WSW swell with a very long 18-second period. The combined energy is a staggering 17497 – that’s a big, powerful, dangerous ocean. The wind is a moderate cross-shore, and the comment says it’s too big for this break. This is expert-only territory. The reef will be a washing machine, and the waves are going to be raw, heavy, and unforgiving. If you’re not a seasoned charger, stay on the beach. For the experienced crew, the morning session is the call, but the afternoon is cleaner with a cross-off breeze. This is the big one, but it’s not for the faint of heart.

After that, things settle down. The 27th and 28th hold a 12ft to 8ft SW swell, with clean conditions and a light offshore breeze on the 28th morning. That’s a proper, clean window for experienced surfers, with the wind coming from the SSE at just 3 mph. The swell period drops to 12 seconds, so it’s more manageable. The wave shape should be good, but the reef will still be pushing some power.

The end of the month and into September has a few more pulses. The 31st of August morning is a gem – glassy conditions with a 8ft WSW swell and a 15-second period. That’s a beautiful, clean morning for a paddle. The 3rd of September also looks excellent with 8ft to 10ft SW swell and light cross-off winds. The energy is moderate, but the conditions will be clean.

There are some big gaps here. The run from the 26th to the 28th is the core of the action, but then it dies down. The 30th of August is blown out, and the 4th of September onward sees another big swell but with poor onshore winds. The 5th and 6th are a write-off with strong winds and rain.

Best on offer: The 26th of August is the biggest, most powerful swell, but it’s dangerous. For a cleaner, more manageable experience, the 28th of August morning with the offshore breeze is a true standout. The 31st of August morning in the glass is also a top pick.

For the first week, the 26th is the one to watch, but respect the size. The second week, the 3rd of September is promising, but it’s a bit further out, so keep an eye on the forecasts.

Stay safe out there.

Rusty.
