Haubush Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let me tell ya, this is a tough one to write. I'm looking at the whole 16-day window for Haubush, and honestly, it’s a pretty grim run. We’ve got a solid gap of poor conditions right from the start. The first few days are a total write-off, with messy cross-onshore winds and lumpy, choppy surf that’s just not worth paddling out for. You’re looking at a stretch from Sunday, the 6th, right through until the middle of the month where the conditions are just plain ugly. The wind is a constant problem, and the swell is either too small or coming from the wrong direction.

The one and only standout in this whole outlook is a brief moment on Tuesday afternoon, the 15th of September. That’s nearly two weeks away, so take it with a grain of salt, but it’s the only time the stars nearly align. The wind will be completely calm, leaving the ocean glassy. The swell is a tiny 2 ft, but it’s a long-period groundswell from the southwest, with a period of 20 seconds. That long period means it’s got real energy and shape, but it’s small. It’s a reef break, and with that long period, it’ll be a proper, clean line. The combined energy of all swells here is only 485, so it’s weak, but for a glassy afternoon on a reef, it’s the best we’ve got. Don’t expect much, but it’s the only time you’ll want to get wet.

Remember, this is a reef break, and it’s often crowded, so you’ll have company on that one good afternoon. The water temp is a warm 81°, which is about average for this time of year, so no worries there.

Beyond that one afternoon, the rest of the window is a bust. Most days are blown out or just too small. The spot is fairly consistent, but when the forecast is this bad, it’s a long wait. Hang in there.

Rusty.
