The Lowdown

Alright, folks, Rusty here with the lowdown on Haubush for the next couple weeks.

Right off the bat, I’ve gotta be straight with you—this is a tough outlook. Haubush is a reef setup, and it likes a solid SSE swell to get going, but we’ve got a long stretch of ugly, cross-shore winds that are going to trash the place. For the first week and a half, from Friday the 21st of August right through to Sunday the 30th, it’s nearly all poor surf conditions with messy cross-chop. The wind is hammering from the ENE, which is cross-shore here, and it’s a fresh breeze most days. You’ll see a few brief windows—like the afternoon of Friday the 21st, where we get a 3 ft SSW swell with a glassy wind and a long period of 16 seconds. That’s a clean, lined-up reef wave on offer, but it’s small and only a one-off session. The combined energy is moderate (355), so it’s not a total dud, but it’s not a standout either.

The real story is the gap. From Saturday the 22nd of August through to Sunday the 30th, there’s basically nothing worth paddling out for. The swell tries to creep up, but the wind is relentless. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual there.

Now, the only true event in this whole 16-day window is the last couple of days of August and the first of September. Monday the 31st of August morning shows a 7 ft ENE swell, but it’s still cross-shore and messy. The real glimmer is Monday afternoon: a 8 ft ENE swell, period at 13 seconds, and the wind shifts to a cross-offshore from the NE at 18 mph. That’s clean. The combined energy jumps to 3097, which is strong. This is big, powerful groundswell, and Haubush is a reef—it’ll handle that long period well. But this is getting into expert territory; 8 ft is pushing it for all but the confident crew. Crowds are likely here when it’s good, so expect some company.

Tuesday the 1st of September morning is similar, with a 8 ft E swell, still clean cross-offshore wind from the NNE, but the wind is up to 25 mph. That’s a strong breeze, and it’ll be a battle. The afternoon gets even bigger—8 ft—but the wind hits 31 mph, which is near gale. That’s not a surf day, that’s a stay-on-the-beach day. The energy is through the roof (4492), but it’s just too much.

After that, it drops off again. Wednesday the 2nd of September is back to poor conditions, and by Thursday the 3rd, we’re down to a 2 ft SSW swell with onshore wind. The 5th of September has a tiny 2 ft SSW swell with a very long 19-second period, but it’s marginal and not worth a special trip.

So, the best on offer is the Monday afternoon, 31st of August, at Haubush. That 8 ft ENE swell, clean cross-off wind, and strong energy is the standout. Just be ready for a crowded lineup and a proper paddle. The rest of the run is a write-off. Keep your stick handy, though—it tends not to stay poor for long around here.

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.
