The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll level with you – the next week and a half is a bit of a write-off for Haubush. The wind is mostly a fresh cross-shore breeze, in the 15 to 22 mph range, and it’s just chopping up what little swell there is. You’re looking at poor surf conditions day after day, with wave heights mostly under 3 ft, and even when it pushes 6 ft the period is short and the wind is a mess. The combined wave energy is moderate but messy, hovering around 500 to 700 (moderate energy). It’s not worth paddling for. There’s a gap of about nine days from the 23rd of August through to the 31st of August where there’s nothing to recommend.
Then, on Sunday the 1st of September, things finally look up. That’s the standout window. Tuesday morning the 1st, the wind drops to glassy – a slight air from the ESE at just 3 mph. The swell is 3 ft from the SSW, with a very long period of 18 seconds, pushing combined energy up to 934 (moderate to strong). That’s a proper groundswell, and on a reef break like Haubush, it’ll serve up clean, lined-up waves. It’s a reef, so it’ll handle that long period nicely. Just be aware the crowds are often here, so get in early. The water temp is about average for the time of year.
Tuesday afternoon sees the swell jump to 6 ft from the ENE, period short at 9 seconds, and the wind goes light cross-onshore. The combined energy hits 1400 (strong to very strong), but it’s a bit of a mixed bag – that one’s more for the experienced crew looking for power, and the wind might put a little texture on it.
After that, the surf drops back off. The 2nd of September has smaller 3 ft swell, and the wind goes onshore, so it’s not great. There’s a slight chance on the 3rd with a small, clean window, but it’s marginal. The 5th of September morning offers a cross-off breeze and 5 ft swell from the east, but it’s short period, so it’s a last resort. The 6th and 7th see a return to onshore and stormy conditions.
Bottom line: the only session worth marking on the calendar is the morning of the 1st of September. Glassy, long-period groundswell, clean reef. That’s the one.
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.
