The Lowdown

Alright, I’ll break it down for you now.

First up, Haubush. It’s a reef break that picks up swell pretty consistently, but the next 16 days? Mostly a dud, to be honest. Water’s about 81°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, no big surprise there.

Right now, Thursday morning, August 20, there’s a tiny 2ft swell from the SW with a super long 18-second period. The combined energy is moderate (434), but the wind’s blowing light onshore, so the surface ain’t great. Pretty marginal.

That Thursday afternoon cleans up – same 2ft SW swell, 17 seconds, wind goes glassy. That’s clean as a whistle but still just too small to get stoked about.

Friday the 21st keeps it small – around 3ft from the SSW, long periods in the 16–17 second range. Morning’s got light onshore, but the afternoon goes glassy again. Still tiny though.

Then we hit a long nasty stretch. From Saturday the 22nd all the way through to Monday the 31st of August, it’s pretty grim. Cross-shore winds from the ENE, 30–40 km/h most days, whipping up lumpy messy chop. Swell sizes bounce around 2ft to 5ft, but periods get short – 7–8 seconds – and that wind kills any chance of quality. The combined energy gets strong at times – 515, 525, 544, even up to 1081 – but the ocean’s just blown out. On a reef, that cross-shore gale makes it look better for kiting than paddling.

Things finally ease around Thursday, September 3. Morning has 5ft E swell at 9 seconds with a light cross-shore, still marginal. Afternoon is the real highlight: 5ft E swell, 9 seconds, clean with a cross-off breeze from the NE. That’s the best wave of the whole window – clean, rideable size.

Friday the 4th of September brings 4ft E swell in the morning, light onshore, nothing flash. The afternoon bumps up to 6ft ENE swell at 9 seconds, light cross, still not perfect but starting to push some size.

Best call? The afternoon of Thursday, September 3 – clean 5ft swell with light winds. That’s your target, but it’s two weeks out, so don’t get your hopes too high. Check back closer.

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.
