The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight up about Haubush for the next couple of weeks. It’s a reef break that’s pretty exposed to the swell, and we’ve got a long run of days where it’s just not happening. The first real sniff of anything comes on Sunday the 13th, but it’s tiny. Sunday morning you’re looking at a 2ft swell from the SW, period a very long 15 seconds, combined energy weak (232). That kind of period on a reef can be alright, but the size is barely a ripple. The water’s sitting at 81°, which is about average for this time of year. The standout, if you can call it that, is Sunday afternoon. The wind goes glassy from the ENE at just 3 mph, and that makes it super clean. The swell drops to 1ft from the SSW, still that same long 15-second period. It’s surfable but very ordinary. Crowds are often here, so even for these crumbs you might have company. Monday the 14th through to Saturday the 19th is a write-off—poor conditions, cross-shore winds, lumpy chop. On Wednesday the 16th afternoon and Thursday the 17th morning the wind turns cross-offshore, so it’s clean, but the swell is still under 3ft and the energy is only moderate (720 and 865 respectively). Not worth paddling out for. Thursday the 17th afternoon sees a jump to 6ft from the ENE, but it’s short period (10 seconds) and the wind is a fresh cross-shore making lumpy chop. That’s more of a mess than a wave. Friday the 18th and Saturday the 19th are the same story—3ft to 4ft swell, cross-shore winds, poor quality. The combined energy climbs into four digits (1290 on Friday afternoon), which is moderate to strong, but it’s all wind-affected junk. There’s a gap from the 20th of September right through to the 28th with no recommendations. On the 20th, you get a 6ft swell from the E with a short 8-second period and fresh cross-shore winds—that’s pure chop. For the rest of the week into the 28th, it’s all cross-shore winds, lumpy conditions, and swell sizes bouncing between 3ft and 7ft. The periods are mostly short (7 to 11 seconds), so no real power or shape. The energy is moderate to strong (over 1000 on some days like the 23rd and 24th), but with the wind state, it’s just messy. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, honestly. The only flicker of hope is Sunday the 24th afternoon when the wind goes cross-offshore again, with a 6ft swell from the E at 9 seconds. It’s still marginal, but at least it’s clean. For a reef break, that’s your best bet in a pretty flat run. Hang in there.

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.
