The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for Haubush.
We’re staring down a long, frustrating run of rubbish conditions. Honestly, for the first ten days or so, it’s a write-off. There’s some weak groundswell at times, but those persistent strong cross-shore winds from the east-northeast just ruin everything. It’s messy, lumpy, and not worth paddling out for. There are a few days where the wind relaxes and we get clean conditions, but the swell energy is either too weak or the period is too short to get excited about.
The real standout, the only one worth circling on your calendar, is September 1st. The guidance points to this being a proper reef setup, and the stars finally align. On Tuesday afternoon (September 1st), we have glassy conditions with a solid 8ft swell. This is a long-period groundswell from the ENE, and the combined energy is pumping hard at a very strong 1638. For experienced surfers, this is the session. The water temp is sitting at a warm 81°F which is pretty much average for this time of year.
Now, a word of caution: Haubush is a reef break that can get crowded, so expect company. And that 8ft swell is no joke – this is strictly for the crew who know what they’re doing. The day before, on Monday, August 31st, also looks worth a look with clean, cross-offshore winds and a 7ft swell (combined energy 1564), so that’s a decent warm-up. But the primo session is that Tuesday glass-off.
So, to sum it up: grit your teeth through the slop for over a week, then go absolutely nuts on September 1st. It won't stay this poor forever, trust me.
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.
