The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's break down the next couple of weeks for Haubush. It's a forecast with one real sweet spot, followed by a long, frustrating stretch of wind.

The water temp is reading 27°, which is pretty standard for this time of year, so no need to worry about a cold one.

The absolute best session on the cards is Friday afternoon, August 21st. The wind is glassy out of the southwest at just 3 mph, and we’ve got a clean 3ft swell from the SSW with a long, lovely 16-second period. The combined energy sits at a moderate 355. It's not huge, but the conditions will be perfect – smooth as a mirror. This is the one to paddle out for. Just be aware that Haubush often gets crowded, so you’ll want to be in the water early.

After that, the wheels fall off. From Saturday the 22nd right through to Saturday the 29th of August, the trade winds are howling out of the ENE at 18 to 25 mph, creating a messy cross-shore chop every day. The swell hangs around between 2ft and 5ft, and even though the wave energy gets strong (hitting 1065 on the 27th), the wind just tears it apart. It’s a bumpy, lumpy mess. Honestly, with that kind of cross-shore wind, it looks more interesting for kite surfing than riding a paddle board.

Finally, we get a break in the wind on Sunday afternoon, August 30th. The wind drops to a cross-shore moderate breeze of 16 mph, and the swell pushes up to 5ft from the East with a 13-second period. The energy is strong at 1097. It’s not perfect, but a lot better than what we’ve had.

The next big one comes on Monday afternoon, August 31st. The wind goes cross-off from the NE at 16 mph, cleaning up the faces nicely. The swell gets serious, hitting 10ft from the ENE with an 11-second period and very strong energy at 2138. That’s a powerful, heavy wave. At nearly 10ft, this is strictly for the experts only.

Moving into the first week of September, the best window looks like Tuesday afternoon, September 1st with a clean cross-off wind from the NE at 28 mph. The swell is still a solid 7ft from the East with a 10-second period and strong energy at 1401. The wind is strong, but it's blowing offshore, so the waves will be clean, even if it's a tough paddle out. Things get messy again from the 2nd with onshore winds and lumpy conditions through to the end of the forecast window.

So, the call is simple: Friday the 21st is your day for clean, fun waves. Then expect a long week of wind before a couple of big, powerful, and cleaner swells hit for the experienced crew. The last few days look 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.

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.
