The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again with the same look, but in feet and miles per hour for the imperial crew. For the first nine days, starting Thursday, August 27, through Saturday, September 5, it’s a wasteland. Haubush is getting hammered by ENE winds at 18 mph, with a lumpy cross-chop that’s killing any chance of a clean wave. Combined swell energy is moderate, sitting between 500 and 900, but it’s all for nothing in that wind. Water temp is 81°F, about average.
Then Sunday, September 6, things turn. That afternoon, a long-period SSW groundswell with a 17-second period brings 3ft waves, and the energy jumps to 1307 – that’s strong. The wind backs off to NE at 9 mph, going cross-offshore, and the reef cleans right up. It’s called excellent for experienced surfers, so if you’ve got the skills, this is a go.
Monday, September 7, is the one. Monday afternoon goes glassy – a light SSE breeze at just 3 mph. The swell holds at 3ft from the SSW with a 15-second period, and that energy is still pumping at 1285. Clean, lined-up, classic reef waves. Crowds will be there – “often” is the word – but for that glass, you deal with it.
Tuesday and Wednesday, September 8 and 9, drop to 3ft to 4ft with moderate cross-shore winds and some chop. Energy drops to the 700 to 800 range. Not a standout.
Thursday, September 10, has a clean morning with a light NE breeze at 3 mph and 2ft SSW groundswell. That afternoon goes glassy again with a SW breeze at 3 mph, picking up a 4ft easterly swell. Both are rated “very good,” but the size is small.
Friday, September 11, onward the onshore winds come back, and it’s marginal again. The best bets are that Sunday glass-off and the Monday afternoon glass session. Don’t sleep on them.
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.
