The Lowdown
Second text (imperial units)
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what we’ve got for the local surf, and I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – it’s a lean run.
We’ve only got Haubush on the list, and honestly, the next 16 days are looking like a total bust for any decent paddle surfing. That cross-shore ENE wind just won’t let up, and it’s gonna keep everything messy and choppy.
We start on Wednesday the 12th with a bit of hope – a 4ft S swell, but that 18-second period and the cross-shore breeze will make it lumpy. The combined energy is moderate at 1152, but the wind’s the problem. Thursday the 13th is more of the same, maybe a touch bigger at 4ft, but still cross and messy. Friday the 14th is poor, with 35 km/h cross-shore winds. Then it goes downhill fast.
Saturday the 15th sees a jump in size, but not in quality. A 10ft short-period E swell shows up, but with 45–50 km/h cross-shore winds, it’ll be a full-on washing machine. That’s no good for surfing, and with that wind and the messy cross-chop, that setup is looking a lot more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. It stays nasty through Sunday the 16th, with a risk of thunderstorms and near-gale winds. The swell drops a bit on Monday the 17th, but the wind keeps it ugly.
From there, we hit a long, slow lull. Most of the second week (from the 18th onward) shows swells dropping under 3ft and often with poor periods, and that same cross-shore wind. The combined energy drops into the low hundreds, which is weak. There’s a couple of days, like the 20th, where the wind eases a little and the swell direction looks better from the SSW, but the wave heights are just too small and the quality is still poor. The water temp is a warm 81° on the 12th, which is about normal for this time of year.
It’s a dry spell, plain and simple. No standouts here. The whole window is a gap of about two weeks with nothing worth paddling out for. If you’re desperate, keep an eye on the very end of the forecast, around the 25th to the 27th, where there’s a hint of a more southerly swell with some period, but the winds are still cross. It won’t stay this bad forever, but this particular run is looking pretty grim.
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.
