The Lowdown
Alright, let's get into it. It's been a bit of a slow start here at Haubush, but let's see what's on the cards.
Right now, the water temp is sitting around 81°, which is perfectly normal for this time of year – no surprises there.
The first few days are a bit of a write-off, honestly. We've got a solid 6ft swell from the East on Saturday, but that ENE wind is blowing a solid 16 mph cross-shore, making things messy. The combined energy is a hefty 2055, but the wind is just ruining it. The conditions are marginal at best, with that cross-chop.
Sunday is much the same story, with a 5ft East swell but that wind is still howling, and there's even a risk of thunderstorms. The energy drops a bit to 1628, but it's still not clean. We're looking at a few days of this, with the wind staying onshore or cross-onshore through Monday and Tuesday. By Tuesday, the swell is jumping up to 12ft from the SW with a 19 mph onshore wind, but that's just a stormy, messy mess – only for the die-hards or the kite crew. The wave energy is through the roof at 4974, but the quality is a zero.
We’ve got a real gap here from Saturday 5th all the way through to the end of the second week. A lot of those days are just "poor surf conditions" and "marginal" – it's a tough stretch. The wind is mostly cross or cross-on, and the swell isn't coming in with the right direction to match the break's optimum SSE. It's a long, quiet run.
But, if you're patient, we do have a glimmer of hope. Moving into the third week, things start to settle. On Saturday, 20th September, we finally see a change. The morning is looking okay with a 4ft swell from the SSW and a light breeze, but it's the afternoon that's the real standout. The wind drops to almost nothing, going glassy from the ESE at just 3 mph. The swell drops to 3ft from the SSW, but with that glassy surface, the surf will be as clean as it gets. The combined energy is a modest 539, but with the wind being glassy, the quality will be excellent. This is the one to wait for.
So, the takeaway is: the first week and a half is a washout. The real highlight is the afternoon of Saturday, 20th September, when the wind shuts off and Haubush turns into a clean, fun little wave. It's a long way off, but that's the one that looks promising.

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.
