The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way.
Honestly, I’ve gotta be straight with you – the next week and a half is a bit of a write-off at Haubush. We’re looking at a long, dry spell of poor surf conditions. The wind is locked in from the ENE, blowing a cross-shore, and it’s a fresh breeze (19 mph) for most of that time, just chopping everything up. There’s energy in the water, but it’s ugly energy. The combined swell energy is mostly moderate (518-844), but it’s messy. You’ll see a mix of short-period E windswell and longer-period SSW pulses, but that cross-shore wind just kills it. We won’t see a decent wave of note until we get into the second week of September.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Saturday the 5th of September. The wind drops back to a moderate breeze (16 mph) from the E, still cross-shore, but it’s a little more manageable. The swell shifts to a more consistent ENE direction at 5ft, with a long period of 12 seconds. The combined energy gets up to 1051 – that’s a solid, moderate-strong push. It’s still only a 2/10 day, but it's the first sign of life. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing to write home about in a wetsuit.
Then we get a couple of interesting days. Sunday the 6th of September, the wind swings to the NE, giving us a cross-offshore breeze. That’s a massive plus. The swell is a clean 3ft from the SSW with a very long 16-second period. The setup is a reef, so that long-period groundswell will wrap in nicely, but it’s inconsistent. The combined energy is moderate (592). Monday the 7th of September pumps up a bit with a 7ft E swell and a 10-second period. The energy jumps to 1425 (strong), and by the afternoon, the wind goes cross-off again. That’s a solid day for experienced surfers, as that size is getting into the "experts only" zone.
But the real standout, the one you want to circle on the calendar, is Wednesday the 9th of September. In the afternoon, the wind drops completely to a glassy calm from the SE. The swell is a clean 3ft from the SSW with a 14-second period. The combined energy is moderate (491). This is a rare, perfect window. The wind is zero, the waves will have shape, and the reef will be working. It’s a small, clean day that’s perfect for a longboard or a fish. The crowds at Haubush can be an issue, so get there early.
The next day, Thursday the 10th, is a bit bumpy with light onshore wind, but then Friday the 11th of September afternoon delivers again. Another glassy session with a 3ft SSW swell and a 15-second period. The combined energy is moderate (425). That’s two glassy, clean afternoons in a row, which is a real treat for a spot that’s been getting hammered by wind.
After that, it fades out with some small, short-period E windswell and a building cross-shore breeze. The last couple of days of the forecast (12th and 13th) are marginal at best.
So, the bottom line: the first week is a bust. The best surf on offer is the glassy, clean SSW pulses on the afternoon of Wednesday the 9th and the afternoon of Friday the 11th of September. That’s your window.
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.
