The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – the next couple of weeks at Haubush are looking pretty grim for a proper paddle session. This is a reef setup, fairly consistent, but the wind is going to be a real problem. We’ve got a solid stretch of poor conditions ahead, but don’t write it off completely; there’s a little glimmer of hope right at the very end.
The forecast kicks off Friday afternoon, 4th September, with a 5ft south swell and a period of 13 seconds. The combined wave energy is moderate (1467), but the wind is a fresh 19 mph cross-shore from the ENE, which is going to chop it up and make it pretty ordinary. The water temp is sitting at 81°, which is about average for this time of year. This marginal trend continues right through the weekend and into the early part of the next week.
Monday the 7th sees a jump in size, with a 8ft SW swell on the morning, but it’s cross-onshore and choppy, making it a write-off. By Monday afternoon, it’s a messy 12ft SW swell with a 15-second period – that’s a lot of energy (7110), but with a fresh 19 mph cross-onshore wind and storm risk, it’s honestly more of a kite-surfing scene than a surf session. The swell stays big and ugly through Tuesday, dropping to 5ft by the afternoon with an onshore breeze, but it’s still poor.
We’ve got a long gap of mediocre-to-poor surf from here. The swell drops off to under 3ft for most of the middle of the week, with the wind stuck in the cross-shore zone. The only real standout in the whole 16-day window is the morning of Saturday, 19th September. It’s a long way off, so keep that in mind, but it’s the one to circle on your calendar. The forecast shows a 4ft SSW swell with a 16-second period – that’s a long-period groundswell, which will work well on this reef. The combined energy is moderate (897), but the real magic is the wind: glassy, just a light 3 mph SSE breeze. The notes say “expect very good surf conditions,” which is the best call we’ve got. That morning is the only time in the whole forecast where it all comes together. After that, the afternoon picks up to 7ft with a short 9-second period and onshore wind, which will be a mess.
So, to sum it up: there’s a whole lot of nothing good for a long stretch, but that Saturday morning the 19th is your best bet. It’s a promising but distant chance at clean, glassy waves on a reef. Don’t hold your breath for the rest.
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.
