The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’ve got to level with you – the outlook for Haubush is pretty rough for the first week. The wind is stuck out of the ENE, blowing cross-shore at 15 to 22 mph, which is making the surface lumpy and messy. The swell is tiny, mostly under 3 ft, with low energy (combined energy between 481 and 656). The water temperature is 80°, which is about normal for this time of year with a slight warm anomaly of 0.5°, so nothing unusual there.
The first real chance of something rideable comes on Saturday, July 26th, when the swell picks up to 5 ft to 5 ft from the E, with a period of 16 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell. The energy jumps into the strong range (1823), but the wind is still cross-shore at 15 to 19 mph, so it’s going to be choppy. The comments say "marginal," and I’d call it a tough session.
Things shape up a bit from Monday, July 28th, through Wednesday, July 30th. The swell holds around 5 ft to 7 ft from the E and ENE, with periods dropping from 15 to 12 seconds. The standout is Tuesday, July 29th, when the wind goes light – a 3 mph breeze from the SSE on the morning, and then near-calm conditions on Wednesday, July 30th with a 3 mph cross-shore from ENE. The swell is 6 ft to 7 ft, with strong energy (1418). That’s the best window. Haubush is a reef break, so it can handle that long-period E swell, but the ENE direction is cross to the optimum SSE direction, so don’t expect perfection. It’s the best on offer.
After that, the surf drops off hard. By Thursday, July 31st, the swell slips to 5 ft, and the wind turns onshore from the ESE, making it choppy again. Into the first week of August, the energy is weak (255 to 624), the swell is small and short-period, and the wind is back up to 19 mph cross-shore. It’s a dead zone. From Wednesday, July 30th onward, it’s a gap of poor conditions that lasts through the rest of the forecast.
So if you’re keen to get wet, Wednesday, July 30th is your day: light winds and a solid 7 ft swell from the ENE. It’s not a classic, but it’s the only real window. Expect crowds at Haubush, so plan accordingly.
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.
