The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Haubush has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, it’s a slow start. The first few days are pretty average, so don’t get too excited just yet. The water temp is sitting around 81°, which is about normal for this time of year, so nothing too wild there.
Monday the 10th kicks things off with a small 2ft SSW swell, but it’s coming from a cross wind at 16 mph, and the report calls it "poor surf conditions." Honestly, you’d be better off staying home. Tuesday the 11th looks similar, maybe a tiny bump in size to 3ft by the afternoon, but that cross wind sticks around and keeps things messy.
Wednesday the 12th is a bit more promising size-wise, with the swell building to 3ft–4ft and a longer period of 18 seconds from the south. That long period usually means better shaped waves and more energy, but the wind is still cross and it’s pretty lumpy. The combined energy jumps up to around 1025–1142 (moderate), so there’s some grunt there, but it’s not clean enough to call it a good day.
Thursday the 13th holds similar size around 4ft, but the wind picks up to 22 mph in the afternoon and the surf quality drops off again. By Friday the 14th, it’s back to small and messy.
Now, Saturday the 15th is where things start to look interesting. A clean 7ft to 8ft east swell rolls in with a period of 12–13 seconds, and the wind shifts to a cross-off breeze. That’s a big improvement. The combined energy is strong, around 1638–2497. This is the kind of day that could offer some decent waves, but with that size, beginners might find it a bit much.
Here’s the standout: Hands down, Sunday the 16th is the one to circle on your calendar. We’ve got a massive 23ft swell from the ENE with a 13-second period, and the wind is blowing directly onshore from the SSE at 40 mph. The combined energy is off the charts at 31952 – that’s serious, serious power. However, the report warns that the swell is too big for this break. This is strictly for experts only, and even then, it’s going to be a wild, dangerous day. The morning window is the only time it’s worth even looking, but I’d be extremely cautious.
After that big pulse, Monday the 17th drops back to 3ft with cross-on wind, so it’s back to choppy conditions. The rest of the week into the 20th stays small, mostly under 3ft, with moderate cross winds and no real quality.
The end of the forecast window, around the 24th and 25th, sees a slight bump in energy with swell around 4ft–4ft and a 17-second period, but the wind stays cross, so it’s still not going to be super clean. The combined energy is moderate but the chop will be your enemy.
For the whole period, Haubush is fairly consistent in terms of swell showing up, but the wind just won’t cooperate most days. Saturday the 15th is your best bet for a decent session, and Sunday the 16th is the wildcard for the brave and the stupid.
Stay safe out there.
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.
