The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, and I’ve gotta be straight with you – this is a rough stretch coming up. We’re looking at Haubush only, a reef break, and the first half of this 16-day window is a write-off. Don’t bother paddling out this Saturday the 15th or Sunday the 16th. We’re talking a vicious 31 mph cross-shore wind, near gale-force, with swell numbers climbing up to 13 ft from the east. It’s not surfable – it’s a washing machine. The combined energy is massive at 1858 for Saturday morning, but the cross-chop and wind will make it a battle zone. That’s not a surf check, that’s a storm warning.

We then hit a dry spell. From Monday the 17th all the way through to Friday the 21st, the swell drops right out, barely pushing 3 ft. The wind is still cross or cross-onshore and dumping a cross-chop on the face. The wave comment is “poor” or “marginal” at best, with combined energy values tanking to around 250 to 415. It’s just not worth it.

There’s a little flicker on Saturday the 22nd. Haubush sees a session where the wind goes glassy – absolute glass – by the afternoon. Light wind from the south, making it nearly dead calm. We’ve got a 3 ft groundswell from the SSW with a 16-second period. That’s a long-period, high-energy groundswell, which is perfect for a reef. The combined energy is at 430, which is moderate, but that period means the waves will be tidy and have good shape. This is your best and only real window for clean waves. It’s a Saturday, and the break is “often” crowded, so expect company. But for clean, lined-up reef waves with a soft knee-high to waist-high push, that’s the call. Water temp is around 82°F, which is about normal for the time of year.

After that, it’s back into the doldrums. Sunday the 23rd to Saturday the 29th of August is a long, flat-to-crappish run. The swell stays below 5 ft most of the time, and the wind is a consistent 12-19 mph cross-shore – fresh breeze, lumpy cross-chop. The energy climbs a bit towards the end of that week, hitting 1797 on Thursday the 27th morning, but with a 4 ft E swell and a fresh breeze, it's still messy. The wave comment is stuck on “marginal.”

The very end of the outlook, Sunday the 30th of August, shows a slight lift. Swell bumps up to 7 ft from the ENE with a 13-second period, combined energy at 1464 (strong), but the wind is still a cross-shore moderate breeze. It’s “marginal” again. For a reef break, with that east wind direction being cross, it’s going to be choppy and hard to find a clean face. For the experienced crew, there might be some heavy, walled-up sections at high tide, but it’s not for the faint-hearted or beginners.

Bottom line: the one and only standout is the glassy afternoon on Saturday the 22nd. That’s your window. Anything before that is blown out, and anything after is wind-affected and chunky. The rest of the period is a gamble.

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.

Haubush is 2 km (1 miles) from 'Ewa Beach. If you plan a vacation in Oahu, look for hotels and other accommodation in 'Ewa Beach. 'Ewa Beach has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
