Huzzawouie (Huzzas) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.

First up, we’ve got a solid run of swell on the way for Huzzawouie (Huzzas). The water is sitting at 66°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. Not a massive anomaly, but it’s a nice little bonus.

The week kicks off with a bit of a messy start. Friday afternoon has some 5ft swell from the SW, but the wind is a cross-shore and the energy is weak (835). It’s a marginal call, and the conditions aren’t quite there.

Saturday is a write-off with strong onshore winds and lumpy, poor surf. Don’t even bother.

Sunday gets interesting, but it’s a wild one. The swell jumps to 15ft from the WSW with a massive 16ft pulse from the SW on Sunday afternoon. The combined energy is huge (10,998) – plenty of power. But the wind is cross and strong, making it a messy, lumpy mess. The size is beyond what most can handle, and the quality is poor. This one is for the experts only, and even then, it’s a gamble.

Monday is where things start to clean up. The swell drops to 12ft and 10ft from the SW. The wind swings light offshore from the SSE, and the combined energy is still strong (3,505). The morning is a bit marginal, but Monday afternoon is a standout: 10ft of SW groundswell, gentle offshore wind, and clean conditions. The period is 12 seconds, so it’s got some punch. The energy is 2,930 – solid. This is the best bet for experienced surfers in the first week. The water is still that touch warmer than usual, so it’s a nice session if you’re up for the size.

Tuesday keeps the good run going. The morning offers 10ft of SW groundswell with a 14-second period. The wind is light cross-offshore from the ENE, and the combined energy is 3,346. The afternoon is a little smaller at 8ft, but the wind is lighter. Both sessions are clean, but the morning is the pick.

Wednesday and Thursday are a mixed bag. The swell drops back to 5ft to 7ft, but the period is very long (17 to 19 seconds). The wind is cross or cross-on, so the waves will be a bit lumpy. The energy is still moderate (2,279 to 3,307), but the conditions are marginal. The long period means the swell will be lining up well, but it might be a bit straight for the beach break. The standouts are gone.

Friday the 31st and Saturday the 1st of August see a return of bigger swell. Friday morning has 8ft of SW groundswell, but the wind is cross-onshore and choppy. Poor conditions. Saturday the 1st is a real standout: 12ft of SW groundswell with a 17-second period, light cross-shore wind from the NE, and combined energy of 6,786. The morning is the best of the bunch – clean, powerful, and the wind is light. The afternoon is a touch smaller at 10ft but still good. This is the best of the entire forecast.

Sunday the 2nd and Monday the 3rd are blown out again with strong onshore winds and lumpy conditions. No good.

Tuesday the 4th is huge. The afternoon has 20ft of WSW swell with a 11-second period and light cross-shore wind. The combined energy is 8,033 – massive. But this is only for the absolute elite. It’s a monster.

Wednesday the 5th, Thursday the 6th, and Friday the 7th are all well over 8ft, with the swell hitting 26ft on Wednesday and Thursday. The wind is strong, and the break is too big for paddle surfing. The energy numbers are astronomical (34,809 to 39,801). The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

Saturday the 8th of August has 26ft and 25ft of WSW swell with a 15-second period. The wind is fresh offshore from the SE, which is clean, but again, the size is well beyond what any normal surfer can handle. The energy is 28,149. This is a once-in-a-decade kind of swell, but it’s too big for this break.

The standouts: Monday afternoon (27th) and Saturday morning (1st August) are the best on offer. Saturday the 1st is the true winner – big, clean, and powerful.

Rusty out.
