Huzzawouie (Huzzas)

Huzzawouie, often shortened to Huzzas, is a Margaret River North surf break in Western Australia known for its powerful reef break conditions and more serious surf. It’s one of the spots in the wider Margaret River region that tends to work best when there’s plenty of swell and a favorable wind direction.

General character

• Wave type: Predominantly reef break
• Typical wave quality: Fast, hollow, and punchy when it’s on
• Best for: Intermediate to advanced surfers, especially when the swell size picks up
• Crowd factor: Can be localized and competitive, particularly when conditions are good

Conditions and behavior

• Huzzas generally needs a solid swell to come alive.
• It can offer short, powerful walls and sections that can get very heavy and ledgy.
• Like many Margaret River breaks, it’s influenced strongly by wind and tide, so timing is important.

Hazards

• Shallow reef means wipeouts can be serious.
• The wave can be strong and unforgiving, especially in larger surf.
• Because of the power of the break, it’s not considered beginner-friendly.

Atmosphere

• The Margaret River North area is known for its rugged coastline and quality surf, and Huzzawouie fits that reputation: a raw, high-energy wave that rewards experienced surfers who know what they’re doing.
