Haubush Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, grab a cup of something warm, let’s talk Haubush. This spot’s got a rough stretch of it all told, so don’t expect any standout days, but maybe a couple windows when it’s worth a look.

First surf we can talk about isn’t until Thursday morning, 27th of August. Haubush gets a pulse of long-period groundswell from the south, 17-second period, with strong combined energy (1110). Swell height is around 4ft, but with that period, it will stand up fast. Wind’s a moderate cross-shore from ENE, so expect a bumpy surface but decent shape in the water. It’s looks marginal for a mission – you really need to pick the right tide and expect some cross-chop. At 4ft, this is over the beginner-friendly zone.

Water temp is about average for this time of year at 82°F, nothing weird.

After that morning, it’s more or less a dry spell until Tuesday, 1st September. That’s another marginal call: south swell, 18-second period, combined energy is moderate at (776). Height is small, around 3ft, but the period is long. Wind is moderate cross-shore and will keep the surface lumpy.

Then, possibly the best and cleanest session falls on Tuesday, 8th of September. Swell comes from the east-northeast, shorter period around 9 seconds, height just under 4ft. The game changer is the wind – a light breeze from the southeast, near glassy in the morning and afternoon. Combined energy is moderate (526-528). It’s the cleanest wind window of the entire outlook. That afternoon has a risk of thunderstorms, but if you’re on it before the sky lets go, it could be pretty nice.

From late August through early September, the cross-shore wind and moderate-sized swell make this stretch look far better for kite surfing than paddle surfing. As for us surfers, it’s a patchy two weeks and that’s the reality of this spot sometimes.
