The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let me level with you: this outlook for Haubush is a long, quiet one. We’ve got 16 days to look at, but the first week is mostly a bust. The surf is small, the wind is sideways, and the conditions are choppy. There’s about three days of marginal surf in the middle, but nothing to write home about. The water temp is 27°, which is about normal for this time of year, so at least it’s warm.
From Monday the 10th through Tuesday the 12th, it’s poor. Swell is tiny, around 2 to 3ft from the SSW and S, with a moderate cross-breeze putting a chop on everything. Combined swell energy is weak to moderate (389 to 1022). Not worth paddling out.
Wednesday the 12th and Thursday the 13th show a slight lift, with S swell around 3 to 5ft, but the wind is still cross-shore and fresh, making things lumpy. The combined energy picks up a bit (1022 to 1146), but it’s still marginal. Barely rideable.
Friday the 14th morning is your best chance in the first week. Swell is 4ft from the S with a 14-second period, and the wind turns cross-offshore, leaving things clean. Combined swell energy is 850. But by afternoon, it’s back to cross-shore chop.
Saturday the 15th brings the standout. Swell is 7 to 8ft from the E with a 10- to 12-second period, and a cross-offshore breeze keeps it clean. Combined energy jumps to 1246 to 1805. This is the biggest and cleanest of the whole forecast. The break is Haubush, a reef. It’s often crowded, so expect company. The swell is over 5ft, so it might be too much for beginners, but it’s solid for intermediates and above.
Sunday the 16th turns ugly. An onshore blow from the SSE with 25 mph winds and a 12 to 18ft ENE swell makes a complete mess. That’s expert-only, and even then, it’s onshore slop. The 18ft reading has a combined energy of 8125, which is strong, but the wind ruins it.
After that, from Monday the 17th onward, it’s back to small, cross-shore junk. Swell between 2 and 4ft, periods from 8 to 23 seconds, but the wind never lets up. A patch from the 17th to the 25th gives us little quality. The combined energy stays low, mostly under 1000. The 25th sees a S swell of 4ft with a 19-second period giving a combined energy of 1463, but the wind is fresh and cross-shore, so it’s still lumpy.
The best bet in the whole 16 days is that Saturday the 15th window. If you can get out before the storm hits Sunday, you’ll score clean, overhead waves at Haubush. But don’t expect perfection—the swell direction is a bit off, and crowds are likely. For the rest, it’s a waiting game. This area can have quiet spells, so forecasts can change. Keep an eye on it.
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.
