The Lowdown
Alright folks, it's Rusty here. Let's be straight up about this one: Haubush is the only game in town on the cards, and to be honest, it’s looking like a pretty lean stretch ahead. We've got a 16-day window, but don't get your hopes up too high for any classic sessions.
The main issue is the wind. For the entire forecast, we’ve got a relentless cross-shore airflow howling in from the ENE, mostly sitting in that 18-22 mph range. That’s a fresh breeze, and it’s going to keep the surface a lumpy, messy cross-chop. Forget about any clean, glassy conditions or proper offshore wind – it’s just not part of the picture. The water temp here is pretty average for early September, nothing unusual to report.
We start off on Friday 4th September with a small, weak 5 ft swell from the S with a period of 13 seconds. The combined energy is a moderate 1368 but with that 22 mph cross-wind, the surface is going to be cooked. Saturday the 5th is more of the same, a bit more size at 7 ft from the E but still with that nasty 18 mph cross-breeze. The wave comment sums it up: marginal at best.
Sunday the 6th is probably the one window that offers a tiny glimmer. The swell picks up to 7 ft from the ENE, but the energy jumps to a strong 3449. The wind eases slightly in the afternoon to 9 mph, becoming a gentle cross-shore with only slight chop. On paper, the waves have some push, but it’s still only a 4 out of 10 kind of deal. It’s the best we’ve got by a long shot.
After that, things get ugly. Monday the 7th sees a huge pulse of swell – we’re talking 10 ft early, ramping to a massive 16 ft by the afternoon, with a very long 15-second period from the SW. The energy is a massive 12934. But here’s the kicker: it’s coming with strong cross-onshore winds from the SE. That’s a recipe for a total, blown-out mess. If you’re a kite surfer, this setup could be wild, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a hard no. The break is an exposed reef, so it will just be a washing machine. Tuesday the 8th stays messy with the wind switching onshore.
From Wednesday the 9th right through to the end of the window on Saturday 19th September, the swell drops right back to knee-to-waist high at best – mostly under 4 ft – with that same relentless cross-shore wind ruining any potential. The wave energy is weak to moderate (419 to 1136), and the wave comment is consistently "poor surf conditions." There’s a period around the 15th of September where the swell period gets up to over 20 seconds, which is very long period groundswell, but at only 3-3 ft it lacks any real power and that 18 mph wind will just blow it flat.
So, the honest truth is: Sunday afternoon the 6th is the only time it’s even worth loading the board on the car. The rest of it is a write-off. This area is having a real struggle with the wind pattern. Chin up, though – forecasts change, and it doesn’t stay this poor forever.
Stay salty,
Rusty

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.

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.
