The Lowdown

Gap at the start, plain and simple. The next two and a half weeks are a story of waiting it out. The first real surfable option doesn't show its face until Thursday the 3rd of September, and even then, it’s a marginal, tide-dependent thing. Before that, it's mostly fresh cross-shore winds, lumpy chop, and weak, jumbled swell. There are a few pulses, but the wind just ruins any chance of them cleaning up.

Haubush is a reef set-up, exposed to the south, and it needs the right conditions to really go off. The early part of the window, through the 27th to the 31st of August, is just messy. We’re seeing a mix of short-period S and E swell, with periods dropping under 8 seconds at times. The energy is weak, with values dipping from 992 down to 426, and the wind is a constant fresh ENE cross-shore, making it lumpy and cross-chop. Not worth paddling out for.

The first day that might get you out of bed is Thursday the 3rd of September. The swell drops to 3ft from the south with a 14-second period, which is a long-period groundswell. It's a reef, so that long period should line it up nicely. The wind eases to 12 mph, but it's still cross-shore, so it won't be perfect. The energy is moderate at 572. It's a marginal call, more about the tide being right. Friday the 4th looks similar, a little cleaner with a lighter breeze, but still cross.

The standout in this whole stretch, and I’m not getting carried away here, looks like Sunday the 6th of September. The swell bumps up to 3ft from the SSW with a 17-second period, and the wind finally goes light and onshore from the SE at 6 mph. The energy jumps to 899, which is getting into the moderate range. Monday the 7th is similar, maybe even a touch better with the swell at 4ft and the wind dropping to a slight air from the SSE. This is the one to keep an eye on. It’s not huge, but it’s clean, and a long-period SSW swell on this reef is what you want.

After that, the second week is a bit of a fade. The 8th looks like it has a clean window with a cross-offshore wind, but the swell drops. The 9th has a quickly-arrived ENE swell at 5ft, but the period is short at 10 seconds, so it'll be less organized. From the 10th on, it's back to onshore winds and choppy conditions, signaling the end of any real hope in this forecast period.

So, the best bet on offer is that window on the 6th and 7th of September. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no drama there. At Haubush, the wind is cross for most of the time, but when it goes light and onshore as it does on the 6th and 7th, it should glass off enough for some proper waves. It’s a reef, so it’s not for beginners, and if you go, expect that it’s fairly consistent, and the crowd is often out there, so be ready to share. The 3ft to 4ft SSW swell will wrap in nicely, and the long period should give it real push. Just be patient; the wait is the hardest part.

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.
