The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s be real – the next 16 days at Haubush are a total bummer. We’ve only got this one reef break to talk about, and while it’s a fairly consistent spot, the conditions are just not cooperating.
There’s a big dry spell right at the start. From now until the morning of August 9th, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. The wind is a stubborn cross-shore from the east, and the swell is all over the place. The combined energy of all swells directed here on Wednesday morning is 254 (moderate wave energy), but it’s just messy. The water temp is about 81°, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
Your first real chance to get wet is on the morning of Sunday, August 9th. We’re looking at a 4ft swell from the east, but the period is a short 7 seconds. That’s pure windswell, and it’s going to be lumpy. The wind is still cross-shore from the east-northeast at 15 mph, so it’s not clean. The combined energy is 514 (moderate wave energy). It’s a marginal call, but it’s all we’ve got. The afternoon gets bigger, 5ft, but the wind picks up to 19 mph and the period stays at 7 seconds, making it a total mess. A no-go for sure.
The rest of the second week is a real grind. From the 10th all the way through to the 20th of August, it’s either poor surf or marginal at best. The wind never lets up – a constant cross-shore breeze from the east or east-northeast, sometimes hitting 25 mph. The swell direction jumps around from the south-southwest to the south to the east, and the periods are either short or long. For instance, on the 12th of August, there’s a 3ft south swell with an 18 second period. That’s a long period groundswell, which will break straight and fat. With the wind still cross-shore, it’s not going to be pretty. The combined energy hits 966 (moderate wave energy) that morning and 1074 (strong wave energy) in the afternoon, but the conditions are just too rough.
The last few days, from the 15th to the 18th, the swell is a consistent 6ft to 5ft from the east, but the period is a short 8 seconds. The wind is still a cross-shore mess. It’s the same story: all that energy (636 to 409 – moderate wave energy) and no clean window. Honestly, with that much wind, this spot is looking more like a kite-surfing zone than a paddle-surfing one.
There’s no standout day here. The most surfable window is the morning of the 9th, but it’s a real long shot. For an area where this break is fairly consistent, a blank run like this is a bit of a downer, but forecasts can change. Keep an eye on it.
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.
