The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's be straight with you – this outlook for Haubush is a tough one. It's a reef break that's fairly consistent, but the conditions through this 16-day window are more about managing expectations than getting amped. The water is sitting at a warm and normal 82° for this time of year.
We start with a small window on Saturday morning, the 12th of September. Haubush is showing a 2ft swell from the SW with a very long period of 16 seconds. The cross-shore wind from the east at 9 mph is creating a bit of cross-chop, but it's not a total loss. The combined swell energy is 331 (moderate), but the score says it's marginal, likely due to tide. Saturday afternoon drops to 2ft with a cross-on wind, making it tough to get excited.
Sunday the 13th is a bit of a glimmer. The morning is still small at 2ft, but the afternoon offers the cleanest conditions we see for a while. A 1ft swell from the SSW and a light cross-off breeze from the NNE at only 3 mph. That’s clean. The period is a long 15 seconds. This is about as good as it gets for the run, but it’s tiny. If you’re on a log, it’s a fun session.
From Monday the 14th onwards, it gets ugly. The wind picks up from the east-northeast, staying between 12 and 22 mph, creating a lumpy cross-chop. The swell tries to build, but the wind ruins it. By Thursday the 17th afternoon, the swell jumps to 6ft from the E with a short period of 10 seconds. The energy is 1145 (strong), but the wind is a fresh 22 mph cross-shore. This setup looks more like a kite surfing mission than a paddle session.
A bit further out, around Saturday the 19th, we see peaks in energy at 1100 (strong) with a 3ft SSW swell, but again, the moderate to fresh cross-shore wind keeps it messy. The same story continues through the 22nd and 23rd of September, with the swell size increasing to 6ft, but the wind never lets up. The best bet in the second week is Wednesday the 23rd morning, with a 6ft swell from the E and a 10 second period, and a lighter ESE wind at 6 mph. It's cross-on and creates some chop, but it's the most surfable of that lumpy week.
Overall, there are no true standouts. The cleanest conditions are on Sunday the 13th afternoon, but it's tiny. The biggest waves are a messy, wind-blown 6-6ft. It’s a long, frustrating run of poor-to-marginal conditions. This is a reef break, so with the long period swells and onshore wind, it'll be a washing machine. Save the energy for a day when the wind switches.
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.
