The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get this straight. The next 16 days are looking pretty grim for any proper surf. We’ve got a lot of energy in the water, but it’s mostly wind-swell junk with side-shore winds chopping it all to bits. That open reef at Haubush is going to be a mess for most of this stretch, so let’s not get too excited.
Honestly, the pick of the whole period is a small window this Thursday afternoon, the 20th. The wind is set to go glassy, which is huge for this exposed spot. We’re looking at a clean 2ft of SW swell at 17 seconds. That’s some proper long-period groundswell, and with that glass, Haubush will have some real shape to it. It’s not big, but the quality should be there. The water's sitting at 81°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. This is the one to make the most of if you can.
After that, it's a downward slide. The winds pick up again on Friday, and then we're in for a long stretch of poor to marginal conditions. The swell starts to build from the east, but the period is short (7-9 seconds) and the cross-shore winds are relentless. That’s just messy, lumpy surf with no power. By the 26th and 27th of August, we’re seeing solid 7ft+ swell, but it’s all this short-period windswell, and the conditions are going to be rough. It’s a lot of water moving (combined energy pushing 1000+), but it’s just not going to be rideable in any sort of clean way. The wind is just killing it. This could even look more interesting for the kite crew with that strong cross-shore, but for paddle surfing, it’s a write-off.
We then see a slight drop in size for the end of August, but the wind stays cross and the quality never really comes back. There’s another small window on the 29th of August in the arvo where the energy is moderate (1002), but it’s still cross-shore and only a “marginal” call. Not worth putting your life on hold for.
So that’s the story. One clean glassy session on the 20th, then a long, bumpy road. Keep your expectations low this week and next. The long-range stuff is just too wind-affected to be a proper standout.

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.
