The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s cut to the chase – the outlook for Haubush over the next 16 days is a grind. There’s no real standout window of clean, quality surf. The forecast is plagued by persistent cross-shore winds, often moderate to fresh, which will keep the surface lumpy and chopped. The swell energy is moderate, with readings between 262 and 1007, but the conditions just never line up for a proper paddle session.
The period starts on Monday, July 13, with some small swell – about 3 ft from the SW at a long 15-second period. That groundswell has potential, but the wind is a cross-shore moderate breeze at 15 mph, creating a cross-chop. The water temp is 80°, which is about normal for this time of year – no surprise there. The surf is poor, and the score is a zero. This pattern continues through Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, with swell dropping to 2–3 ft, the same long period, but always cross-winds and never clean. The only day that gets a 1/10 is Tuesday morning, and even then it’s only “marginal” at best.
Friday, July 17, is more of the same – fresh breeze at 19 mph, lumpy, awful. The weekend brings a shift in swell direction to the east, and the period drops to a short 7–8 seconds. That’s windswell, not groundswell, and with the same cross-shore wind, it’s just a mess. The swell height does bump up to 5 ft on Saturday and Sunday, but that’s not the kind of size that saves a session when the wind is howling. The combined energy climbs to 492–501, but the wave comment is still “poor surf conditions.”
The following week, from July 20 to July 25, the swell goes back to the south and SSW, with periods around 13–18 seconds. The energy stays moderate, with readings between 454 and 787. The best you’ll see is a couple of 1/10 mornings on July 21, 22, and 23, where the wind drops to a gentle breeze and the cross-chop eases to a “slight cross-chop.” Still, the swell is only 2–3 ft. Crowds are “often” a problem at Haubush, but honestly, with conditions this average, you’ll likely have the place to yourself.
The last few days, July 26 to July 28, finally show a little promise. On Monday, July 27, the swell bumps up to 3 ft from the east, period 15 seconds, and the wind is a gentle breeze at 9 mph. The score gets a 2 out of 10. On Tuesday, July 28, swell jumps to 5–6 ft from the east/ENE, with a period of 12–13 seconds, and the combined energy hits 968, then 1007 – that’s strong! The wind is still moderate cross-shore, so it’s not glassy, but the size and energy are there. The score is 2 for the afternoon. This is the best on offer over the whole period, but it’s still a marginal call. For a reef break like Haubush, that long-period groundswell from the east will produce some decent lines, but the cross-shore wind will keep the surface bumpy. It’s not a write-off, but it’s not a day to call in sick for.
Overall, there’s no real “go” day in the first week. The second week shows a slight uptick, but nothing worth getting excited about. Haubush is a fairly consistent spot, so it won’t stay poor forever, but this 16-day window is a flat, windy slog. The best bet is the afternoon of July 28 – but temper your expectations.
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.
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.
