The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cooking at Haubush. It’s a reef break, exposed to the swell, and it’s fairly consistent, which usually means we can rely on it. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, nothing weird going on there.
But, honestly, the first week-plus is a write-off. From Friday the 14th right through to Monday the 24th, it’s pretty grim. The wind is a constant problem – cross-shore or cross-onshore, and often blowing fresh, which is turning the ocean into a lumpy, messy cross-chop. A couple of afternoons look a little less rough with a gentler breeze, but the surf quality is just poor. Even when we get a clean spell late on Saturday the 22nd with glassy conditions and a small 3ft south-southwest swell, the wave energy is still weak (431), so it’s barely worth a paddle.
There is a glimmer of hope right at the very end of this long outlook. The final Friday and Saturday of the month, the 28th and 29th, show a bump in size. On Friday the 28th, we’ve got 7ft of east-northeast swell rolling in. That’s a solid size, but the period is short (9-10 seconds), meaning it’s windswell, not that deep groundswell we love. The wave energy jumps to moderate (1511) and the wind is still a messy cross-shore. That said, it’s the only period with any real push, and if the wind backs off, it could be the pick of a very poor bunch. For now, I’d call it a tentative standout, but don't get your hopes up too high.
The rest of the window? A two-week stretch of mostly onshore slop or tiny, weak waves. It’s a tough run. Sometimes that’s just how it goes here.
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.
