The Lowdown
Right, grab a seat. Let’s have a proper look at what’s heading our way for Haubush over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a tough stretch ahead. The first week and a half is pretty much a write-off. We’ve got a persistent strong cross-shore wind howling out of the ENE, and it’s just wrecking any chance of clean waves. The water is sitting at a warm 81°, which is pretty normal for this time of year – nothing unusual there.
The first hint of anything worth paddling out for shows up on the morning of Thursday, August 27th. The wind eases back a touch to a moderate breeze, and the swell is coming from the south with a long period of 17 seconds. The combined swell energy is moderate at 900, but it’s still described as a marginal surf forecast. You’d be scratching for anything decent, but at least the period is there. That long period groundswell will be trying to bend around the reef, so you might find a few bigger lines on the sets.
The real, and only, standout in this whole 16-day window is the morning of Wednesday, September 2nd. This is where it gets interesting. The wind finally switches to a light offshore from the SSE at only 3 mph. That’s the key. The swell is coming from the south, 3 ft, with a period of 16 seconds. The combined swell energy jumps to a strong 1099. For a reef break like Haubush, that’s the recipe. It’ll be clean, glassy, and those long-period lines will wrap in nicely. That morning is the pick of the fortnight without a doubt. The crowd situation here is “often,” so expect company, but for that kind of quality, it’ll be worth sharing the peak.
After that brief window, it’s straight back into the grind of messy, cross-shore junk from September 3rd onwards. The swell sticks around but the wind just won’t get out of our faces.
So, if you’ve got the patience, save your energy for that Wednesday morning on September 2nd. It’s a long way out, so keep an eye on the charts, but that’s your best shot at some clean, lined-up reef waves. Everything else is a pass.

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.
