The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's on offer.

Truth be told, it's a bit of a flat spell to start and it stays that way for a long while. The only solid recommendation for a proper surf session comes way down the track, so you'll be waiting.

For Haubush, we're looking at a long, drawn-out run of nothing special from Wednesday the 19th all the way through the rest of August and into the very start of September. There's a tiny pulse of long-period groundswell at 2 ft on the 19th, but the wind is a messy cross-shore, and the energy is weak (340). That's a no-go. Conditions just don't line up. The swell tries to nudge up to 2 ft – 3 ft over the following days, but the wind state is almost always cross or cross-on, with a lumpy chop. It's just not worth paddling out.

We don't get a breath of clean, glassy surf until Friday afternoon, August 21st. For a short window, the wind goes glass and the swell is a clean 3 ft from the SSW with a decent 16-second period. The energy is moderate (364). That’s the only real flicker of hope in the first ten days. Get it while you can because it’s gone by Saturday morning.

From there, it’s a brutal stretch. Strong cross-shore winds from the ENE, gusting 22-25 mph, ruin any chance of clean waves for days. The swell hangs around 2 ft to 3 ft, but it's ugly. Then by Tuesday the 25th, the swell jumps up to 4 ft, but it's a short-period E wind swell with a messy cross-wind. Not a good look.

The real standout shows itself in the second week. Wednesday morning, September 2nd. Haubush sees a solid 6 ft easterly swell at 11 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to a strong 1253. The cross-shore wind is moderate at 15 mph, so it’s not perfect, but it’s the most powerful, surfable window in the whole outlook. That’s your best bet, but it's still a cross-shore chop situation. The day before, September 1st, also has similar size and period but slightly less energy. With the swell coming from the east, it's a bit onshore for this exposed reef break, so the shape won't be elite. Still, it’s the biggest and most powerful we get.

The water temperature here is 81°, which is about normal for the time of year. Nothing unusual.

Given the long run of poor conditions, this is a waiting game. That Friday afternoon glass-off on August 21st is a brief, clean window for some small waves, but the real power shows up on September 2nd. It’s not epic, but it’s the best on offer. Don't expect much before that.

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.
