The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get stuck into the outlook for Haubush.
Honestly, I’m looking at a pretty grim run of surf for the next two weeks. There’s no real standout session, and for most of the period, the conditions are just poor. The wind is locked in from the ENE, blowing cross-shore or cross-onshore, and it never lets up enough to give us clean, peeling waves. The swell energy is mostly weak to moderate, with values hovering between 119 and 426 (combined energy of all swells directed here), which is just not enough to get this reef set-up doing its thing.
The water temperature is sitting at 81°F, which is about normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a thick suit.
The first week is a total write-off. From Tuesday the 4th of August right through to Sunday the 9th, the wave heights are small, mostly under 5 ft, and the wind is a constant cross-shore mess. The swell periods are short and mixed, with lots of 7 to 8 second junk. The wave comment is repeatedly “poor surf conditions,” and the scores are zero. It’s just not worth paddling out.
There’s a slight shift in the second week, but it’s not good news. Around Saturday the 15th, the swell starts to build, hitting 6 ft to 6 ft from the East and ENE. Then on Sunday the 16th, we see 8 ft from the East with a period of 8 to 9 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 1187 and 1288, which is moderate to strong energy. But here’s the catch: the wind is still a fresh cross-shore, and the waves are described as “marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions.” The period is short, so it’s going to be lumpy, crumbly, and hard to ride. This is expert territory at 8 ft, but with the chop, it’s not going to be pretty.
The biggest swell of the outlook hits on Monday the 17th of August, with 10 ft from the East at 9 seconds. The combined energy is a hefty 2188. That’s a lot of water moving, but again, the wind is a moderate cross-shore. The wave comment is still “marginal.” This is purely for experts, and even then, the short period and cross-wind will make it a battle. The set-up looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
There’s a glimmer right at the end on Wednesday the 19th, with a long-period groundswell from the SW at 21 seconds, but it’s only 2 ft to 2 ft. The energy is still up there (662 to 728), but the height is tiny. With the gentle cross-onshore wind, it’ll be clean but not rideable.
So, the bottom line: there are no good days in this 16-day window. The best you can hope for is a marginal session on the 17th or 18th, but it’s a long shot. It’s a blank run that’s pretty normal for this area when the wind is stuck in the wrong direction. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d save the wax.
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.
