The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here, and let’s just say the next couple of weeks at Haubush are gonna test your patience. This is a reef setup, fairly consistent, exposed to the swell, and it loves swell from the SSE. But we’ve got a long, ugly stretch of cross-shore wind coming our way that’s going to make things messy.
Right now, on Thursday the 20th of August, there’s a tiny 2ft SW groundswell in the water with a very long 18-second period. The combined energy is moderate (434). The morning has a light onshore breeze, but into the afternoon it turns glassy with a slight air. That’s the cleanest window we’ll see for a long time, but the size is real small. Not a standout, just a moment of peace.
Friday the 21st is similar size, 3ft SSW, still a solid 17-second period, but the wind goes onshore and then cross-onshore. It’s marginal at best. Then, from Saturday the 22nd all the way through to Monday the 31st of August, it’s basically a write-off. The wind cranks up from the ENE, 12 to 25 mph, mostly cross, and the swell turns into a short-period, weak wind chop. The combined energy fluctuates, but the wave comment says “poor” the whole way. This is a solid week plus of no good surf at Haubush. Don’t even bother looking at it for kite surfing either, the cross-chop from the ENE will make it lumpy for everyone.
Looking ahead, we finally get some size and a bit of potential in the first week of September. On Tuesday the 1st of September, the swell bumps up to 8ft from the ENE with a 12-second period, and the combined energy jumps to strong (2399). But the wind is still cross-shore from the ENE at 12 mph. Conditions are only “marginal.” Because the swell is over 5ft, it’s getting too big for beginners, and the cross wind will make it tricky for everyone else. It’s the only real highlight in terms of size, but the quality is not there.
The only true standout, and I mean the only one, is the brief window on Thursday afternoon the 20th. Glassy conditions on a tiny, long-period, clean reef wave. That’s as good as it’s going to get. The rest of the 16-day window is largely a gap of poor to marginal conditions with strong, persistent cross-shore wind. Hang in there, or find something else to do.
Rusty.

Information about the Haubush Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Haubush provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Haubush can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Haubush surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Haubush) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Haubush may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
