Haubush Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at the next couple of weeks for Haubush. It’s a reef setup, exposed to the swell, so it can get some decent juice when things line up. The water temp is about par for the course.

Right off the bat, we’re in a rough patch. The first few days have some size but the wind is a real problem. Wednesday the 2nd and Thursday the 3rd are all messed up with a strong cross-shore wind, making for lumpy, choppy junk. Not worth paddling out for. The swell is there, but the conditions are just poor.

We do get a bit of a window on Friday the 4th. The afternoon cleans up nicely with a cross-offshore breeze, and the swell is a clean 4.3ft from the S with an 11-second period. The combined energy is moderate (1196), but it’s just a marginal call. You might get a few, but it’s not a standout.

The real highlight, the one you’ve been waiting for, is Monday the 7th. The morning session is looking excellent. We’ve got a solid 6.6ft SW groundswell with a 14-second period. That long period gives it some real power and shape, and the combined energy is strong (3186). The wind is a light cross-offshore, making for clean, open faces. This is the one for experienced surfers. The swell is big enough to be a handful for beginners, but for the rest of us, this is the best on offer. Keep in mind, with that long period, it’ll be a bit more walled up, which is fine for a reef. Crowds are likely here, so get in early.

The rest of that week and into the next is a mixed bag. Tuesday the 8th gets a huge spike in size, well over 10ft, but the wind is onshore and the conditions are poor. That’s a kite surfer’s day, not a paddle surfer’s.

We get another chance on Monday the 14th. The afternoon goes glassy, calm wind, with a 6.6ft S swell. The combined energy is moderate to strong (1036), and the conditions are excellent for experienced surfers. This is another solid window.

Then on Wednesday the 16th, the afternoon glass-off looks promising again. 3.9ft from the SSW, a very long 18-second period, and glassy conditions. The combined energy is moderate (1432). This is a good, clean, long-period groundswell. It’s a smaller day, but for the quality of the wave, it’s a real treat.

After that, the forecast gets a bit more uncertain. The 17th has some light onshore wind and a dropping swell, but it’s still a marginal option.

So, if you’re picking a winner, hit the morning of Monday the 7th for the best power and clean conditions. The glassy afternoons on the 14th and 16th are also worth the drive, especially if you want a more manageable, but still high-quality, wave.
