The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here.
Alright, look, I’ve got to be straight with you. The outlook for the next 16 days is a tough one. We’re seeing a lot of days with messy, lumpy cross-shore wind and sloppy conditions. The water temp is sitting at a warm 82°, about average for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a thick wetsuit.
The first sign of any real hope isn’t until Friday, the 4th of September, in the afternoon. That’s a solid week and a half of waiting. The wind finally swings a touch cross-offshore, giving us a clean surface for a change. Haubush (reef) will have a chest-high swell around 6ft coming from the ENE, with a moderate period of 11 seconds. The combined energy is strong (979), so there’s some grunt in the water. It’s a reef break, so that longer period groundswell should wrap in nicely. Just be aware, crowds are often a factor here, so expect company.
After that little window, we’re back into the cross-shore slop right through until Wednesday, the 9th of September. The swell builds significantly, with waves pushing over 8ft and energy readings hitting well over 2000, but it’s all messy with strong cross-shore winds. That’s more a kite-surfing scenario than good paddle surfing.
On the afternoon of the 9th, we get another crack. The wind turns cross-offshore again, cleaning things up. The swell is a solid 8ft from the ENE, with a period of 10 seconds and very strong energy (2888). This is big, powerful surf. At that size, it’s strictly for experts only. The reef at Haubush will be handling a lot of water, so you need to know what you’re doing.
Beyond that, the final few days of the outlook drop right off. Swell fades away to barely 2ft, and the wind goes onshore or cross-onshore, leaving us with tiny, weak waves (energy as low as 161). It’s a long, flat finish to the period.
So, to sum it up: the best on offer is the afternoon of the 4th of September for a clean, solid session, and the afternoon of the 9th for the big-wave crew. The rest is a write-off.
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.
