The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s cut through it. Lookin’ at the whole 16-day window for Haubush, and I gotta be honest with ya – it’s a rough stretch. This is a reef break, exposed to the swell, and it’s pretty consistent when conditions line up, but the wind just won’t give us a break for most of the run. There’s a long, frustrating gap of poor conditions before we finally get a little glimmer at the very, very end.
The opening is a write-off. From Saturday, August 29th all the way through to Monday, September 7th, it’s just no good. We’ve got cross-shore winds blowing 15 to 25 mph the whole time, whipping up a lumpy cross-chop. The wave comment says it all: “poor surf conditions.” Not a single session scores above a zero. There’s some moderate combined wave energy – readings around 455 to over 1200 (moderate to very strong) – but with that constant ENE wind, it’s messy. Swell sizes bounce around 2 ft to 7 ft, mostly from E or ENE with some S pulses, but it’s all junky. The water temp sits at 81°, which is about average for the time of year.
We roll into Tuesday, September 8th, and things start to shift a little. The wave comments change to “marginal surf forecast.” Still, we’re dealing with fresh cross-shore winds at 19 mph, so it’s lumpy. The swell starts to get some size, hitting 7 ft ENE with an 11-second period on the Tuesday afternoon, and the energy jumps way up to 1805 (very strong). For Wednesday the 9th, we’ve got 6 ft to 7 ft ENE swell with a 10-second period, but still cross-shore wind. The rating nudges up to a 2/10 on Wednesday morning, but honestly, it’s still not what you’d paddle out for unless you’re desperate.
Thursday, September 10th pushes into that bigger range, with 10 ft ENE swell arriving, but the period drops to 8 seconds. That’s short-period, wind-driven stuff. Combined energy is 2118 and 2346 (very strong), but with a fresh breeze, it’s lumpy. This kind of size and short period at a reef with cross-shore wind is more of a messy, drifty situation. Not the good kind of big. Too big for beginners for sure.
Then we hit a real lull again. Friday, September 11th and Saturday, September 12th have the wind turning onshore from the SE and S, blowing 12 to 22 mph. Swell hangs around 5 ft to 8 ft from the S, but it’s onshore and lumpy. “Poor surf conditions” is the word. That’s a no-go.
Finally, the last session in the window, Sunday, September 13th afternoon, is the one standout. I mean, it’s not a classic, but after two weeks of junk, we’ll take it. The wind goes glassy – dead calm – from the SSW at just 3 mph. The swell drops to 3 ft from the E with a short 7-second period, so it’s not gonna have much shape or power, and the combined energy is light at 155 (weak). The comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” scoring a 1/10. It’s small and weak, but it’s clean. If you’ve got a log and just want to get wet in some smooth water, that’s your window. Because the wind is light and glassy, the surface will be clean for Haubush.
For the whole 16 days, there’s no true standout. The only real chance to get wet without getting chewed up by wind is the Sunday afternoon on September 13th. It’s small, weak, and ordinary – but at least it’s glassy.
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.
