The Lowdown
Right folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks.
It’s a bit of a slow start, I’m not gonna lie. We’ve got a long stretch of tricky conditions with a lot of cross-shore wind and some messy, lumpy surf. The first proper glimmer of hope arrives on the morning of Wednesday the 29th of July. That’s where the eyes are.
For the best bet of the whole run, you’ve got to look at Haubush on Wednesday morning the 29th. We’re looking at a clean 5ft of swell running from the ENE, with a light offshore breeze coming in from the NE. The wind’s only a gentle breeze, so it’s going to be clean, with a nice cross-off feel. The combined energy of all swells is moderate (693), and the period is a touch short, but the conditions are the standout. It’s the only time in the window where the stars align for genuinely good surf. Just be aware this spot is a reef break and it’s exposed to the swell, so keep your wits about you. The crowds can be a thing here, so expect some company.
Leading up to that, Thursday the 23rd through to Tuesday the 28th is a real grind. Persistent cross-shore winds from the ENE, mostly in the 18 to 25 mph range, with lumpy cross-chop and poor surf. Even when the swell bumps up to 5ft on Tuesday the 28th afternoon, the wind is still a factor. It’s a real test of patience.
After Wednesday, it’s pretty much back to the same story. From Thursday the 30th of July all the way through to Friday the 7th of August, we’re looking at a long stretch of poor to marginal conditions. The wind swings around to the east and southeast, staying cross or cross-onshore, and the swell is either small or blown out. Saturday the 1st of August sees a bit more size, with 5ft to 6ft from the east, but with a strong breeze and a messy cross-shore, it’s just not the kind of day you want to paddle out. The energy is moderate (580-581), but the period is short, so it’s just a lumpy mess. It’s a dry spell, and it’s worth noting that the combined energy drops off significantly towards the end of the run, with some readings down in the 200s.
The only real window is that Wednesday morning.
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.
