The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next couple of weeks are looking pretty average for Haubush. We’ve got a long stretch of cross-shore winds and lumpy, messy conditions that are going to make you work for anything out there. To be honest, most of this period is a write-off for quality surfing, and the forecast models are giving us a big fat zero for most days. There are a couple of flickers of hope late in the window, but we’re talking about a long, dry spell before anything worth paddling out for arrives.

Right from Wednesday the 26th through to the end of the month, it’s all cross-shore ENE breeze. Swell is showing somewhere between 2ft and 5ft but the period is all over the place, and the wind is just chopping it up. It’s poor surf, plain and simple. The energy is weak to moderate, with combined energy values sitting in the 400-680 range, which just doesn’t have any punch. The first few days of September don’t look any better – still that cross-shore wind and poor conditions, with wave energy sticking around the 500-860 range. The only marginal call is on the morning of Tuesday the 1st, but with a 2ft SSW swell and that cross-breeze, it’s nothing to get excited about.

The gap here is the real story. You’re looking at nearly two full weeks of nothing worth recommending. The second week of September is where things start to shift, but even then, it’s not a full-on winner. Around Monday the 7th, we finally see the wind ease off to a cross-offshore flow and the swell, while still small, starts to get some proper period on it. A SSW swell of 3ft to 4.5ft with a 14-15 second period is a real groundswell, and the energy jumps up into the 974-1187 range. That’s moderate energy, but with clean conditions, the reef at Haubush (Big Island) could actually start to shape up. This is your best bet in the whole window. Keep in mind, Haubush is a reef break, and it’s fairly consistent but often crowded, so expect company. It’s an intermediate spot, so the size is manageable. The conditions on Monday, and even into Tuesday the 8th, are the closest we get to a proper surf, though Tuesday brings a risk of thunderstorms and a cross-shore wind that muddies things up.

From Wednesday the 9th onwards, it’s a fresh SSW cross-onshore wind, and the swell drops back to a shorter period SSE, around 9-10 seconds. That’s junk. The energy dips back to the 866-975 range, and it’s just lumpy and choppy again. So there you have it. If you’re desperate, mark down Monday the 7th and maybe the Tuesday morning on the 8th for a look. It’s not going to be epic, but it’s the only thing with any real promise. The rest is a waiting game. Forecasts can change, and a spot like Haubush that is fairly consistent doesn’t tend to stay flat and messy forever.

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.
