The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you: the next couple of weeks are looking pretty bleak for any kind of proper surf. We've got a decent amount of swell energy in the water, but the winds are just not playing ball. It's a lot of cross-shore chop and lumpy conditions, which is a recipe for frustration, not for good rides.
The swell is running in the 1ft to 4ft range, with periods mostly between 14 and 18 seconds. That longer period means there's some push behind it, but it's all being ruined by the wind. The combined energy is mostly moderate, hovering in the 400-900 range. We'll see it spike to a strong 1064 on Saturday the 19th, but that's also when the wind is going to be a fresh breeze, so it's not going to do us any favors at Haubush (Haubush). It's a real shame, because that South-Southwest swell is exactly what this reef wants, but the cross-shore wind will just make it a mess.
There's a brief window on Monday afternoon, the 14th, where the wind swings to a cross-offshore and things clean up a little, with the swell bumping to 2ft. It's still not big, but at least it looks surfable. Then again on Tuesday the 15th, we see the swell push to 3ft with a 20-second period, and the wind is light, though a little cross-on. That looks like the best of a bad bunch – you might find a few clean ones if you're patient. But even then, the forecasters are calling it marginal.
After that, the wind is set to build again. We're looking at strong breezes from the East-Northeast, which is just going to make Haubush a choppy, bumpy mess from the 17th through the 20th. The swell will push up a bit, reaching 4ft on Friday the 18th and the energy will be strong, but it's all for nothing with that wind. Honestly, for the next week and a half, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The water temp is about average for this time of year, so you won't need the thickest suit, but the wind will keep it feeling cool.
Keep an eye on the long-range, around Wednesday the 23rd. We might see a new pulse of East-Northeast swell with a shorter period, but it's still a mixed bag. Everything is just too inconsistent and wind-affected to get excited about. This is a stretch where you might be better off getting your board fixed or just watching the cams. It's a blank run, for sure, but that's how it goes sometimes. Forecasts can change, so we'll keep watching.
Stay patient.
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.
