    Huntington Beach Pier Area Surf &amp; Weather Report — Sunday, August 16, 2026 at 8:16 PM PDT
  </p>
  
  <br />

  <p style="margin: 0 0 12px 0;">
    The latest wave spectral band observations from CDIP Station 215 at Huntington Beach South Nearshore indicate a primary swell energy signature driven by a long-period Southern Ocean swell combined with local short-period wind sea. Energy spectral analysis shows prominent groundswell energy arriving from 200 degrees with a dominant period of 16 seconds and wave heights averaging around 2.5 feet at the offshore buoy, alongside a secondary swell component from 280 degrees at 8 seconds with heights of 1.2 feet. These wave parameters generate surf heights in the 3 to 4 foot range along the Huntington Beach Pier area, with occasional shoulder-high sets on the favored south-facing peaks. Surf quality is currently fair, offering workable corners with light sectiony conditions near the pier structure, though afternoon sea breezes have introduced light texture across the lineup.

    Nearby offshore swell measurements from neighboring NOAA and CDIP stations show complementary regional coverage, with the Long Beach Channel buoy recording a primary swell direction of 195 degrees at 15 seconds reading 2.3 feet, while the Outer Cabrillo buoy records southwest swell energy from 210 degrees with a period of 16 seconds at 2.6 feet.
