The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up for Haubush.
Straight up, the next couple of weeks look pretty average for this spot, and the start of the period is a write-off. We’ve got surf on the cards, but the wind is just not playing ball.
The water temp is sitting at 81° with no real anomaly, so it’s your standard warm bath for this time of year.
That first real pulse of swell arrives Monday the 7th of September. There’s some serious energy in the water – we’re talking a combined swell energy of 1644 – but it’s a complete mess. You’ve got a 5 ft SW swell with an 11 second period, and a nasty 19 mph cross-on ESE wind. It’s lumpy and blown out. Not worth paddling out for. The afternoon actually gets bigger to 8 ft (4124 energy) and a longer 14 second period, but that wind picks up to 22 mph. Rubbish.
Tuesday the 8th is more of the same. Another 8 ft morning (2131 energy) but with a shorter 9 second period and cross-on winds. Clean-up is not on the cards. By the afternoon, the swell drops to 6 ft (801 energy), but the wind is still cross-on and choppy.
Wednesday the 9th sees the swell drop right off to 3 ft (483 energy) with a nice long 14 second period. The wind is lighter, but still cross-on. It’s marginal at best, and I’d say you’re really pushing it for a wave worth the paddle. The afternoon is the same story, barely a 1 out of 10 from me.
From Thursday the 10th right through to the 16th of September, the wind stays consistently cross or cross-shore, and it’s blowing from light to fresh. The swell is tiny, mostly under 3 ft, and the energy levels are low, dipping below 500. There’s a period from the 10th to the 13th where the swell is coming from the SW with periods of 15–16 seconds, but with the mucky cross-shore wind, you’re looking at rippled, lumpy conditions. Not good surf.
We get a tiny spike on the 15th with a 3 ft SW swell and a 20 second period, hitting 620 energy, but that’s with a moderate cross-shore breeze again. So close, yet so far.
Then from the 18th of September, things actually get bigger. We see 7 ft to 7 ft of E swell (energy hitting 1201), but it’s short period, around 8 seconds. And the wind is howling from the ENE at 22–25 mph, all cross-shore and messy. For an exposed reef like Haubush, that’s a straight-up no-go for paddle surfing. It’s more of a kitesurfing kind of setup.
The absolute best you’ll see in this whole window is probably the morning of Wednesday the 9th, or maybe the afternoon of the 21st of September. On the 21st, you’ve got a 6 ft ENE swell (966 energy) with a 9 second period and a moderate 16 mph cross-shore wind. It’s still marginal, but that’s the cleanest the wind will be on a decent-sized wave. Even then, it’s not a standout.
Honestly, the onshore and cross-shore wind just won't let up for this spot. It’s a frustrating run. Keep an eye on it though, because forecasts can change, and Haubush can be fun when it’s clean.
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.
