The Lowdown
Imperial Version
Alright guys, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening at Haubush.
Looking at the full 16 days, it’s a rough stretch. Strong winds and messy conditions are the main story, making it tough to find a clean wave. Water temp is about 27°, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
The first chance to get a wet one is Tuesday, July 28th. There’s a solid 7ft to 7ft easterly swell with a long 13-second period, and the energy is pumping at 1569. It’s a clean wave, but the wind is a cross-off from the NE at 15 to 25 km/h, which is okay but a bit breezy. Good for intermediate surfers, but the currents will be moving.
Wednesday, July 29th, is the real standout. The morning is a bit messy, but the afternoon is pure glass. The wind drops to zero, and we get a 4ft swell from the ENE at 9 seconds. The energy is moderate at 582, but that glassy surface makes it a dream. This is your best bet for the near term, a clean, fun little wave.
From Thursday, July 30th, it all goes south. We get a long run of strong, cross-shore ENE winds, gusting up to 40 km/h and more, with a junky, short-period 8ft swell on Saturday, August 1st. The energy hits 1250, but it’s too big for beginners, and the wind is just destroying it. This stretch is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
This poor run lasts for a long time. There’s a small window on Tuesday, August 4th, with a 5ft ENE swell at 11 seconds and a moderate cross-shore wind, but it’s not clean enough. The wind is relentless, and the swell is mostly short and lumpy.
A long-range glimmer shows up on Sunday, August 9th, and into the following week. A new swell from the SSW arrives with a very long 18-second period. The energy is moderate to strong (937). The morning of the 9th is still rough with a 30 km/h wind, but the afternoon calms down to 20 km/h. The swell is small, around 3ft, but that long period could make it work. Monday, August 10th has a 4ft SSW swell with a 16-second period, and lighter winds. This is a promising setup for a reef, but it’s a long way off, so don’t hold your breath. The surf is inconsistent and the winds are likely to be cross-on.
So, the bottom line is a tough forecast. The standout is Wednesday afternoon, July 29th, with that glassy, clean 4ft wave. The long-range SSW swell around August 9th-10th is worth keeping an eye on, but it’s a distant hope. The rest of the time is mostly blown out or too small.
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. 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.
