The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s on the table for Haubush over the next couple of weeks. This is a reef set-up, exposed to the swell, and it favours a SSE direction. To be honest, it’s a pretty tough outlook. We’ve got a long stretch of poor conditions ahead – the first bit of surf that’s even worth mentioning doesn’t show up until the 1st of September, and even then, it’s marginal at best.
From now through the end of August, it’s a write-off. Every session is plagued by a fresh cross-shore wind, mostly from the ENE, clocking in at 18 to 22 mph. That’s just lumpy cross-chop, not what you want. The swell is all over the place – some short-period E windswell mixed with longer period S/SSW groundswell, but the energy is weak to moderate, bouncing around (426 to 967). It’s all labelled as poor surf conditions. Honestly, save your energy for something else.
Now, on the 1st of September, Tuesday afternoon, there’s a glimmer. Swell from the ENE at 6ft with a period of 9 seconds, and combined energy jumps up to 1270 (strong). That’s the best we’ll see, but it’s still rated as marginal because the wind stays a fresh 18 mph cross-shore. The 2nd of September morning is similar – 6ft from the E again with energy at 1015 (moderate to strong). But again, that cross-shore wind is ruining it.
After that, we slip back into the poor conditions for a few more days. The next time things perk up a little is on the 5th of September, Saturday afternoon. That’s 6ft from the E, period stretching to 13 seconds (a longer period groundswell), and strong energy at 1379. However, the wind is still a fresh 18 mph cross-shore, so it’s marginal. The 6th of September, Sunday morning, is similar – 5ft from the E with a 12-second period and energy at 1086, but that same wind problem.
Then, finally, on the 7th of September, Monday, things look a bit cleaner. The wind swings to the ESE, and it’s much lighter – 6 mph in the morning. That’s a light cross-onshore, which is a big improvement. The swell is 4ft from the ENE with an 11-second period, and energy is moderate to strong (707). It’s still a ‘marginal’ call, but with that lighter wind, it could actually be rideable. The afternoon is similar with a gentle breeze. The 8th of September, Tuesday morning, keeps that lighter wind and 4ft swell from the ENE, so that stretch from the 7th into the 8th is your best bet in the whole outlook.
To wrap it up: for the next week, it’s flat and windy. The best of a bad run looks to be on the 7th and 8th of September, when the wind finally drops and you get a bit of a cleaner window on that 4ft ENE swell. For the rest, you’re fighting the wind. It ain’t pretty, but that’s how it goes sometimes.

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.
