Haubush Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let's get into it. The 16-day window ahead of us is pretty grim for any real surf at Haubush. We're looking at a tough stretch. The first proper session doesn't really show up until the middle of next week, and even then, it's not going to be anything to write home about.

For the next several days, from Sunday the 13th through to about Tuesday the 23rd, it's going to be a waiting game. There are days where the swell is just too small, with heights hanging around the 0.3m to 0.5m mark, and the wind is all over the place – mostly cross, with that ENE breeze keeping things lumpy. It's poor surf conditions. One small window exists on Wednesday the 16th afternoon, where the wind turns slightly cross-off and the surf cleans up. The swell is only around 0.9m from the SSW with an 18-second period, and the energy reads at 897 (moderate). It's a nice idea, but it's a one-off and pretty marginal.

The real takeaway for the first week and a bit is that there are no good options. It's a long stretch of small, cross-chop waves. The period is all over the place too – some of those swells are short, in the 8-10 second zone, which is pretty junky. Don't get too excited.

Now, looking further out. The 24th of September shows a bit more push in the water, with the swell coming from the east at around 1.7m. But, the period drops to 9 seconds, which is really not going to do much for this reef. The energy is up at 1108 (strong), but it's for nothing because the wind is back to a fresh cross-shore, turning the surface into a mess. That's not your day either.

The standout, if we can even call it that, is the afternoon of the 25th of September. The wind swings to a cross-off again, and while the swell drops to 0.7m from the SW, it's got a 15-second period behind it. It won't be big, but it will be clean. The energy is at 526 (moderate). For Haubush, that's about as good as it gets in this window. It's a rare clean window, so if you're desperate, that's your chance. Keep your expectations in the gutter, though.

Overall, this is a very poor stretch of surf. There's no real swell generator on the horizon that lines up with the SSW optimum direction for this spot. We see some energy, but the direction and period are just not in our favor. The water temp is sitting at 27°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, no real surprises there.

It's a real grind. There's hardly any consistency to be found. The break is fairly consistent, but the conditions are just constantly against us. So, don't get your hopes up. It's a lot of nothing for most of the next 16 days. Forecasts can change, but this one looks pretty locked in as a bust.

Rusty.
