The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
The next 16 days are looking like a bit of a scrappy affair for the Haubush reef. The swell is there, but the wind is mostly a problem. For the first week, we’ve got a lot of cross-shore wind kicking up a lumpy chop, which won't make for the cleanest rides. The best of the bunch really comes down to a couple of windows where the wind gets a bit more favourable.
The standout is Saturday morning, August 15. The swell is pumping up to 6ft from the East, with a period of 11 seconds. The wind is blowing off-shore, keeping things clean. The combined energy of all swells directed here is strong at 1123, so there’s plenty of push. This is the best on offer, and it’s one for the more experienced crowd given the size.
Saturday afternoon, August 15, is also worth a look. The swell jumps to 8ft from the East, still clean, but now it’s getting into solid territory. The combined energy is 1463, so it’s got some serious grunt. This is for experts only, as it’s getting big.
If you’re not up for the big stuff, Friday afternoon, August 14, has a smaller, cleaner option with 4ft from the South, and the wind is cross-offshore. The combined energy is moderate at 812, and the period is a lengthy 14 seconds, so the waves will have some shape and power.
The rest of the period is a write-off for good surf. The wind stays lumpy or onshore, and the swell quality drops off. There’s a gap from August 17 through to August 20 where the surf is consistently poor or marginal. The water temperature is 81°, which is about average for the time of year.
So, if you’re keen, your best bet is Saturday, August 15 – morning for the intermediate crew, afternoon for the chargers. After that, it’s a waiting game.
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.
