The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into what’s on offer.
Honestly, looking at the next couple of weeks around Haubush, it’s a tough stretch. The reef breaks at Haubush are seeing a lot of cross-shore wind, mainly from the ENE, and that’s keeping things lumpy and messy through the first week. For the first few days, from Wednesday afternoon the 26th of August right through to Monday the 31st of August, the waves are small and pretty poor, with a lot of fresh cross-shore chop making it a real struggle to find anything clean. The swell energy is moderate at best, around 666 to 676 units, but the wind is just ruining it.
There’s a bit of a gap in quality, but we do see a slight change on Tuesday the 1st of September. The morning picks up a 1.8m swell from the ENE with a period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy pushes up to 1108 units, which is strong. The wind is still cross-shore but drops to a moderate breeze, so it’s less of a mess. Still, it’s only marginal – not great for beginners at that size, and the cross-chop will still be there. The water temperature is sitting at 28°C, which is about normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t be freezing.
From the 2nd of September right through to the 10th of September, it’s a similar story. Most days are plagued by cross-shore or cross-onshore winds, with the swell bouncing around between 0.5m and 1.5m. The only real standout window is Friday the 4th of September afternoon, where we get a 1.5m swell from the ENE with a short period of 8 seconds, and the wind is a gentle cross-onshore at 15 km/h. It’s still marginal, but the lighter wind could make it slightly more interesting for a paddle. The 1.1m on Saturday the 5th of September morning with light onshore wind and a period of 8 seconds is also a minor possibility, but nothing to write home about.
The second week is pretty bleak. By the 10th of September, we’re back to strong cross-shore winds and a messy 1.5m ENE swell with a period of 12 seconds, but the wind is 40 km/h and the combined energy is 1226 units. That’s strong, but with that wind, it’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a clean paddle session. Honestly, if you’re looking for a clean, glassy morning, you won’t find one in this forecast. The wind just never really turns offshore or glassy, and the cross-chop is a constant headache.
If I had to pick the best of a bad lot, it’s the morning of Tuesday the 1st of September. That 1.8m ENE swell has the most energy, and the moderate breeze is the least offensive wind we see. But keep expectations low – it’s still a cross-shore chop.
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.
