The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up at Haubush.
Honestly, the outlook starts pretty flat and ugly. For the first several days, through to the end of the first week, the wind is howling out of the ENE at 18 to 25 mph, and it’s cross-shore the whole time. The water is warm, about 81°, and running about average for this time of year, but the surf is poor – messy chop, lumpy conditions, no real shape. There’s moderate wave energy (912 to 1302) but it’s a waste.
Then, around the 5th, the swell ramps up a bit – 6 ft from the east, with a longer 14-second period. The combined energy climbs into the thousands (2182), but with that persistent cross-shore wind and a “lumpy cross-chop” description, it’s still only marginal. The 7th shows a slight improvement: morning winds go cross-offshore with ENE at 12 mph, and we get 6 ft from the SW, period 12 seconds, and some decent energy (2583). But the surf quality is still only a contestable marginal call. Not a standout.
Now the big one: the morning of Tuesday the 8th. That’s the date I want you to circle. We’ve got a massive 18 ft SSW swell, period 15 seconds, and the combined energy is a whopping 13306 – that’s very strong. But here’s the catch… the wind is blowing onshore from the SSE at a near gale force 31 mph, with a risk of thunderstorms. That’s going to absolutely destroy the wave face. This is an expert-only proposition, and even then, it’s probably more interesting for kite surfing than for paddle surfing. Not a day for the everyday surfer.
After that, it drops back to small, messy junk until we hit the 12th and 13th of September. Saturday the 12th afternoon, the wind goes glassy – a slight air from the south at just 3 mph – with 4 ft from the ENE, period 11 seconds. That is genuinely “expect very good surf conditions,” and the energy is moderate at 557. That’s the best-looking window in the whole outlook, and it lines up right when the swell is small but clean and the break has that reef structure to handle it. This is the standout for me here at Haubush. Crowds? This place can get busy, so if you want a peak, you’ll need to be early.
Sunday the 13th afternoon isn’t terrible either: 5 ft ENE, 10 seconds, with light cross-shore breeze, but it’s more marginal. After that, there’s a tiny little clean-up around the 15th with 4 ft from the SW, 20-second period, and light onshore wind – some real long-period groundswell energy coming through (1017). That’s a good sign for a reef, but you’d want the wind to be kinder.
In short, if you’re waiting for something good, hold out for the afternoon of Saturday the 12th. The surf before is a write-off, and the 8th is a cyclone mess only for the kamikaze crew.
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.
