Table - best surf conditions forecast for Haubush over the next 16 days.
Alright, I won’t sugarcoat it: the outlook for Haubush is bleak. This reef spot is staring down a 16-day stretch of persistent cross-shore wind from the ENE, and that’s a death sentence for clean surf. The water temp is 80°F, right around average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Kicking off Sunday the 12th, we’ve got a 3ft swell from the SW with a 16-second period, but with 22 mph cross-wind churning up the surface, it’s ugly. The combined energy is moderate at 680, but the report says "poor surf conditions" and that’s the truth. Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th are the same story: 3ft waves, cross-shore breeze, lumpy and uninviting.
The one day that might make you look twice is Saturday the 18th. The swell bumps up to 5ft from the ENE, but the period drops to 8 seconds, so it’s short-period wind swell. The energy is 701, still moderate. But the wind is still cross-shore at 15 mph, and the score is a 1 out of 10. It’s marginal—maybe a session for the die-hard, but not good. Sunday the 19th is 5ft with a 7-second period, so even worse.
The rest of the fortnight is a string of small swells from the S and SSW, some with periods up to 18 seconds, but the wind never shifts. It’s always cross or cross-onshore, 15 to 22 mph, keeping the surface chopped up. The energy climbs into the 600s and 700s, and even hits 944 on Monday the 27th with a 3ft east swell and 15-second period, but the cross-wind kills it. The wave comment stays “marginal” at best.
There’s no standout here. The swell never gets over 5ft, so it’s not too big for beginners, but the chop is constant and nasty. For a reef, this wind direction is a total dealbreaker. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. It’s a long, dry spell—sometimes the forecast just doesn’t line up for this spot.

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.
