Haubush Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Haubush has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, it’s a slow start. The first few days are pretty average, so don’t get too excited just yet. The water temp is sitting around 81°, which is about normal for this time of year, so nothing too wild there.

Monday the 10th kicks things off with a small 2ft SSW swell, but it’s coming from a cross wind at 16 mph, and the report calls it "poor surf conditions." Honestly, you’d be better off staying home. Tuesday the 11th looks similar, maybe a tiny bump in size to 3ft by the afternoon, but that cross wind sticks around and keeps things messy.

Wednesday the 12th is a bit more promising size-wise, with the swell building to 3ft–4ft and a longer period of 18 seconds from the south. That long period usually means better shaped waves and more energy, but the wind is still cross and it’s pretty lumpy. The combined energy jumps up to around 1025–1142 (moderate), so there’s some grunt there, but it’s not clean enough to call it a good day.

Thursday the 13th holds similar size around 4ft, but the wind picks up to 22 mph in the afternoon and the surf quality drops off again. By Friday the 14th, it’s back to small and messy.

Now, Saturday the 15th is where things start to look interesting. A clean 7ft to 8ft east swell rolls in with a period of 12–13 seconds, and the wind shifts to a cross-off breeze. That’s a big improvement. The combined energy is strong, around 1638–2497. This is the kind of day that could offer some decent waves, but with that size, beginners might find it a bit much.

Here’s the standout: Hands down, Sunday the 16th is the one to circle on your calendar. We’ve got a massive 23ft swell from the ENE with a 13-second period, and the wind is blowing directly onshore from the SSE at 40 mph. The combined energy is off the charts at 31952 – that’s serious, serious power. However, the report warns that the swell is too big for this break. This is strictly for experts only, and even then, it’s going to be a wild, dangerous day. The morning window is the only time it’s worth even looking, but I’d be extremely cautious.

After that big pulse, Monday the 17th drops back to 3ft with cross-on wind, so it’s back to choppy conditions. The rest of the week into the 20th stays small, mostly under 3ft, with moderate cross winds and no real quality.

The end of the forecast window, around the 24th and 25th, sees a slight bump in energy with swell around 4ft–4ft and a 17-second period, but the wind stays cross, so it’s still not going to be super clean. The combined energy is moderate but the chop will be your enemy.

For the whole period, Haubush is fairly consistent in terms of swell showing up, but the wind just won’t cooperate most days. Saturday the 15th is your best bet for a decent session, and Sunday the 16th is the wildcard for the brave and the stupid.

Stay safe out there.
Rusty.
