The Lowdown

Alright, grab a coffee and settle in. Let’s talk about what’s happening at Haubush.

This is a reef break that’s exposed to the swell and likes it from the SSE. Right now, we’re in a pretty flat and messy stretch. The whole first week is basically a write-off. The wind is hammering from the ENE, mostly cross-shore at 16 mph, which is putting a real chop on things. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

Honestly, from Monday the 17th right through to Sunday the 23rd, it’s a whole lot of nothing. The swell is small, mostly under 3 ft, and the energy is weak to moderate, with the combined energy reading between 254 and 844. You’ll see some longer period swells, 14 to 18 seconds, but the wind and the cross-chop just ruin any chance of a clean wave. It’s a total go-back-to-bed situation.

Things start to get a little more interesting from the 25th of August. The swell picks up, but it’s mostly short-period windswell from the east and ENE, so it’s going to be bumpy. The first real standout, and it’s the only one worth getting excited about, is towards the end of the forecast. The best window looks like Friday the 28th of August. We’ve got chest to head high swell, 8 ft, coming from the ENE with a period of 11 seconds, and the combined energy is strong at 1720. The wind is cross-shore from the east at 12 mph, which is still a bit messy, but it’s the biggest and most powerful surf we’ll see. This is for experts only, that size and the reef bottom means it’s not for the faint-hearted.

The rest of the second week, the 29th to the 1st of September, is a bit of a mixed bag. The swell drops off and the wind picks up again, especially on the 30th and 31st with fresh 19 mph breezes. There’s a chance of a 7 ft swell on the 1st of September, but it’s getting late in the forecast and the confidence is lower.

One last thing: with the consistent cross-shore ENE winds and the growing swell size, especially from the 25th onwards, this setup is going to be a lot more fun for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. The wind is just never clean enough for a proper surf session.

But if you’re an expert and you’re looking for a challenge, circle Friday the 28th of August. It’s the only real standout in the whole 16 days.

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.
