The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way at Haubush (reef break). It’s a fairly consistent spot, exposed to the south-southeast swell, and the water temp is sitting at 80° right now, which is about average for the time of year—nothing wild there.
The next 16 days start off pretty grim, to be honest. We’ve got a long dry spell with no real surf on offer. From Monday the 20th of July all the way through to Wednesday the 29th of July, it’s pretty much a write-off. The swell is small, mostly under 3 ft, and the wind is a constant cross or cross-onshore breeze, blowing 9 to 22 mph, which just chops everything up. The combined wave energy is weak to moderate (496 to 1342), but the conditions are so poor you wouldn’t bother paddling out. A few days, like Thursday the 23rd to Saturday the 26th, get a “marginal” tag, but the wind is still a problem—fresh cross-shore and lumpy. It’s not looking good.
Then, on Wednesday the 29th of July, we finally get a little glimmer. The afternoon session is the standout of the whole period. The swell holds at 5 ft from the east-northeast, with a period of 11 seconds—a solid groundswell that’ll have some shape. But the real beauty is the wind: it goes glassy, with a 3 mph breeze from the southeast. That’s clean, clean surf. The water temp is still around 80°, so it’s a nice warm paddle. The combined energy is moderate (788), and with the reef bottom, this long-period swell should set up some nice, lined-up waves. It’s a bit on the bigger side, so maybe not for beginners, but for intermediate and up, this is the day to circle. The spot is often crowded, so expect some company.
Thursday the 30th of July drops off a bit—swell back to 4 ft from the east-northeast, with a light cross-onshore breeze. It’s marginal, but not terrible. Then from Friday the 31st of July through Saturday the 1st of August, it’s back to poor conditions, with strong cross-winds. The 2nd of August sees a bump in swell to 7 ft from the east, but the period is short—only 8 seconds—so it’s a messy, wind-swell. That’s more for experts if you’re keen, but the chop will be nasty.
The real highlight is that Wednesday afternoon glass-off. Get out there.

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.
