The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s goin’ on at Haubush.
The water’s sittin’ at 81°F, which is pretty average for the season. The early wave energy is moderate at 375 early on, but the wind is messin’ things up with a lot of cross-shore breeze. Honestly, the first week is a tough slog.
The first real bright spot is on Wednesday, August 26th, in the afternoon. We’ve got a clean 3ft swell from the S, with a period of 18 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell. The wind turns light and cross-offshore, and it’s glassy. That’s a standout. Haubush is a reef break, so that long-period swell will wrap in real nice. The energy is strong (660). That’s the best session of the first week.
Then on Thursday, August 27th, the afternoon is another winner. The swell is 3ft from the S, glassy conditions, and the energy is strong (693). That’s a second standout.
After that, we hit a rough patch. From Friday, August 28th, through the end of the month, the wind is pumpin’ from the ENE at 15-25 mph, and the swell is short-period E windswell (6-8 seconds). The surf is lumpy and messy. There’s a gap of several days with no real good options.
Into September, the swell picks up. On Tuesday, September 1st, we’ve got 7ft from the E, period 10 seconds. That’s big – too big for beginners, but the experts might be keen. The wind is still cross-shore, so it’s not clean. The energy is very strong (1204). It’s a long-range call, so keep an eye on it.
Wednesday, September 2nd, holds similar size (7-7ft E) with light cross-onshore wind. It’s marginal, but the energy is still strong (954-995). Not a classic, but worth a look if you’re desperate.
The best of the late period looks like Thursday, September 3rd, in the afternoon. The swell drops to 4ft from the SW, period 13 seconds, and the energy is massive (1444). The wind is light onshore, so it’s not perfect, but that’s a lot of power. Just a bit of a gamble this far out.
Overall, the standouts are Wednesday, August 26th afternoon, and Thursday, August 27th afternoon – those are the ones to circle. The rest is a battle with the wind.
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.
