The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next two weeks are a bit of a tough stretch for Haubush. This reef break is exposed to the swell and picks up a fair bit of energy, but the wind and conditions just don’t line up for clean paddle surfing for most of the period. The water temp is sitting around 82°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.

We kick things off Saturday the 15th of August – not great. There’s a solid 13ft easterly swell pumping in with a period of 10 seconds, so there’s a heap of energy (3225), but the wind is howling out of the ENE at 34 mph, cross-shore and nasty. That’s an absolute mess. If you’re into kite surfing, this setup might get you excited, but for paddle surfing it’s a no-go. Sunday the 16th stays poor: 7ft swell from the SSE, cross-onshore wind at 19 mph, lumpy and rough. It’s not even worth paddling out.

Monday the 17th drops right down to 3ft, still cross-shore wind, and the surf is marginal at best. Tuesday the 18th is even smaller, 3ft, with the same cross-wind. Wednesday the 19th sees a 3ft ENE swell, but the period is short at 8 seconds – weak and choppy. Thursday the 20th is a little better, with a small 2ft south-west swell, but the period jumps to a long 18 seconds. That’s a groundswell, but it’s tiny and cross-onshore. Still marginal.

Now, here’s one little window that might be worth a look: Saturday the 22nd of August. In the afternoon, the wind goes totally glassy – 0 mph, dead calm. The swell is only 3ft from the SSW with a 16-second period, so it’s long-period, small, and clean. Combined energy is moderate at 417. For Haubush, a reef break, that long-period groundswell could wrap in nicely and hold shape. It’s not big, but it’ll be glassy and possibly fun on a bigger board. Crowds are often a thing here, but on a small day like this you might have it quiet.

After that, Sunday the 23rd onward is mostly a write-off – wind picks up again, swells stay small or get messy. There’s a bump on Saturday the 29th of August with 4ft from the SSW, but cross-wind is moderate. Sunday the 30th shows a bit more promise: 4ft to 4ft easterly swell, period around 14 to 15 seconds, with lighter winds. The combined energy pushes up to 1126 (moderate) on the morning, and the score improves slightly. Still only marginal, but if you’re keen for a session it’s the best-looking end to the period.

Overall, the standout is the glassy Saturday afternoon on the 22nd – that’s your cleanest bet. The end of the month has a chance but less certainty. The rest is either too windy, too small, or too choppy to get excited about.

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.
