Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. This forecast for the coming weeks is a tough one.
Haubush is a reef break that needs a good SSE swell direction to show its best, and the wind and swell are just not lining up for us. For the first week and a half, from Tuesday the 7th right through to the middle of the month, we’ve got a prolonged flat spell. The wind is locked in from the ENE, blowing cross at 18 to 22 mph most days, which is ruining the surface completely – lumpy cross-chop all the way. The swell direction is wrong, coming from the ENE or E, and the period is short, around 7-8 seconds. This is just poor surf conditions day after day. The water temp is sitting at 80° with a slight anomaly, about average for this time of year.
There’s a bit of a shift around the 11th and 12th of July, where the swell direction swings to the SW and SSW, and the period jumps up to 16-18 seconds – that’s very long period groundswell. The combined energy is moderate to strong (618 to 773), but the wind is still a fresh cross breeze at 18-22 mph, so the quality is still poor. That longer period will want a point or reef, but the wind will chop it up.
The best chance for a surf comes much later, on the 21st of July – that’s Tuesday. The swell is still small, only 3 ft to 4 ft from the E, but the period is long at 16 seconds. The combined energy is strong (1162 to 1212). The wind finally drops, with an E breeze at 12 mph in the morning and an ENE at 15 mph in the afternoon. It’s still cross, but lighter, and it might just be enough for a few cleanish waves if the tide lines up. The forecast gives it a marginal score, but out of the whole window, this is the one to watch.
After that, on the 22nd of July, the wind turns SE at 9 mph and then light S at 6 mph, but the swell drops to 3 ft to 3 ft, and the energy fades. Nothing to get excited about.
Honestly, if you’re not keen on staring at a bumpy ocean with cold tea-coloured waves, you might find the setup on those windy days a bit more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The forecast can change, but right now, 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.
