The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin'.
Honestly, the next few weeks are a bit of a mixed bag. We've got a window of small, weak swell right at the start, but then a long stretch of just messy, blown-out conditions. It's not all bad news though – there's a real glimmer of hope towards the end of the month.
Right out of the gate on the morning of Tuesday the 15th, Haubush is tiny with a 3ft SW swell. The water's sitting at a warm 81°F, which is pretty much average for this time of year. The wind is cross-shore and light, but the real bummer is the combined energy is only 633 (weak), and the period is a short 20 seconds. It looks a bit sad, honestly.
That small, weak swell hangs around through Wednesday and Thursday the 17th, but the wind starts to howl from the ENE. On Thursday morning, the swell jumps up to 5ft, but with a horrible 10-second period from the ENE and a 19 mph cross-shore wind tearing it up. The combined energy gets up there (1065 - moderate), but the quality is just gone. From Friday the 18th right through to Tuesday the 24th, it's the same story: strong to fresh winds from the ENE with a messy cross-chop, and the surf quality is rated poor. The swell is all over the place, but you wouldn't want to be out there anyway.
Now, here's where it gets interesting. On the afternoon of Wednesday the 23rd of September, things take a turn. The wind swings to the west at just 6 mph giving us a clean, cross-offshore breeze. The swell is a solid 6ft from the East with a short period, but with that glassy wind, Haubush is going to look clean. It's still a bit of a gamble with a 'risk tstorm' forecast, but that could be the best session of the whole stretch. The energy is moderate (989).
Then, if you can hold out until Saturday the 27th of September, the afternoon looks magic. The wind goes completely glassy with a 6ft East swell. That's a proper call-out. It’s not huge, but glassy conditions on a reef break like Haubush mean a fun, rideable wave. That looks like the true standout of the entire sixteen-day run. The week before that is mostly a write-off, but there are a couple of clean windows on the 23rd and 24th afternoons.
The very end of the run on the 29th for Tuesday afternoon is another one to have on your radar. The swell jumps to 5ft from the ENE with a decent 11-second period and the wind goes glassy again. The energy is strong (1204) and it’s flagged as excellent for experienced surfers. That’s a long way out, so don't bank on it, but it’s got potential. For the most part, the next week is a waiting game.
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.
