The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, switching to the old-school measurements. Let's break it down.
The first few days are a real gut punch. From Friday the 31st right through the start of August, the wind is screaming out of the ENE at 25 to 28 mph, all cross-shore. It's chopping up everything. The water temp is about 80°F, which is standard for this time of year. The swell energy is moderate to strong, with readings of 861 to 925 on Friday, and peaking at 1216 on Saturday, but with that wind, it's just a mess. The waves are 6 ft to 8 ft, but they're all crumble. This is a kite sucker's paradise, not a paddle surfer's. There's a solid four-day stretch where you're better off staying on the beach.
Things finally settle down on Tuesday the 4th of August. The wind drops to a light breeze from the NE at 9 mph, turning into a cross-offshore. The swell is 4 ft from the east, with a period of 11 seconds, and the combined energy is 366. The water cleans right up. Haubush reef is a fairly consistent spot, but it does get crowded often. That longer period will give the reef some nice shape, so if you can get out there, you might snag a few clean ones. This is the one bright spot in the first week, a real narrow window.
After that, it's back to the same old story with cross-shore wind and poor surf until the 7th.
Now, the big one. Thursday the 13th of August afternoon is looking like a dream. The wind is set to go glassy, dead calm, with just a slight air from the ENE. The swell is 4 ft from the south, with a very long period of 15 seconds. That's proper groundswell, and for a reef, that means long, peeling waves. The combined energy is 729, which is solid. The sets will be far apart, but the waves you get will be beautiful. If you can make that Thursday afternoon session, that's the pick of the lot.
The 12th and the 13th morning have some marginal potential, but nothing beats that Thursday glass-off. The final weekend of the forecast winds back up, so don't get too excited.
Rusty, out.

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.
