The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Look, I’ve been staring at the charts for Haubush and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a grim stretch for the next couple of weeks. This is a reef setup exposed to the south-southeast, but the wind is locked in from the east-northeast to east, blowing cross or cross-onshore nearly the whole time. The water temp is sitting around 81°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so no surprises there, but that’s about the only good news.
Off the bat, Monday the 14th has a tiny 2ft swell from the southwest with a super long 22-second period – that’s a classic groundswell, but it’s weak, with only 311 combined energy. The wind is a light cross breeze, so it might be glassy-looking, but the wave comment says “marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions.” Not worth paddling out for.
Tuesday the 15th sees a bump to 3ft from the SSW, period dropping to 20 seconds, energy up to 607. Still marginal, and the wind picks up to a gentle cross-onshore, making things choppy. Afternoon is similar, 3ft, 19-second period, 534 energy – still not good.
Wednesday the 16th is a write-off. 3ft but the wind is a moderate to fresh cross-breeze at 15-19 mph, creating lumpy cross-chop. Combined energy is 746, but the conditions are “poor” – score zero. Thursday the 17th morning is still marginal with 3ft and 851 energy, but the afternoon brings a weird spike: 6ft from the east-northeast, but with a short, weak 10-second period and 1222 energy. The wind is a fresh cross-shore, lumpy as hell. That’s a beach-break style wave with no shape.
Friday the 18th through Sunday the 27th is a long, sad run. Swell hovers between 3ft and 4ft from the SSW, period between 14 and 17 seconds, but the wind is relentless – 15 to 25 mph from the east-northeast, cross and fresh. Combined energy varies from 463 to 992, but every single session is marked “poor surf conditions” or “marginal” with scores of zero or one. The wind is too strong, the waves are messy, and there’s no quality.
The one tiny glimmer – and I mean tiny – is late in the period. On Monday the 28th, the afternoon session shows a glassy 2ft from the southwest with an 18-second period and 690 energy, and the comment says “expect very good surf conditions.” The wind goes glassy-light from the east-northeast at 3 mph. But that’s a long way off, and the swell is small. The next morning, Tuesday the 29th, it’s back to onshore wind and poor conditions.
Honestly, there’s no standout session here. The best on offer is that far-off Monday the 28th afternoon, but it’s tiny and uncertain. The rest of the 16 days is either blown out or flat. This reef needs a clean offshore from the north-northwest to work, and we’re not getting it. If you’re a kitesurfer, the consistent cross-breeze and moderate swell might be interesting, but for paddle surfing, it’s a long wait.
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.
