The Lowdown

Alright, let’s cut through the fat here. This 16-day run from the 14th of August is mostly a dead loss for Haubush. I’m not gonna sugarcoat it. We’re looking at a whole lot of cross-shore wind, lumpy mess, and barely any rideable swell for the first week and a half. Water temp is 82°F, which is about dead average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The first week is toast. Friday afternoon kicks off with a 4ft south swell but it’s getting hammered by a 35 km/h ENE cross-breeze. The energy reading is 933 – that’s weak to moderate – but it’ll feel like less. Saturday pumps up to 8ft to 10ft, but it’s short-period easterly junk and the wind is strong and messy. No dice. Sunday is still blown out and choppy. By Monday arvo the wind drops a bit, but the swell dies to under 3ft and it’s still cross-shore. Just poor.

We grind through the week with cross-shore breezes and weak, long-period southern pulses. The period’s long, but so what when the wind’s got it all choppy? Around the 20th and 21st, we get a bit of a shift – SE winds, lighter – but the swell is still tiny, 2ft to 3ft. A couple “marginal” calls, but you’d be chasing shadows. The 22nd and 23rd are more of the same – light cross-onshore, bugger-all size. Not worth the petrol.

Now, I’m a patient man, and this is where it pays off. The 27th of August, a Thursday, is our only real shot. That afternoon the wind goes to zero – glassy, flat calm. Swell is a modest 4ft, but it’s from the east with a 17-second period – that’s proper groundswell, a reef-break special. The energy is up to 1392, moderate, but it’s the clean conditions that make this shine. This is the standout of the whole run. But it’s a week and a half out, so treat it like a promise that might break.

The 28th is still rideable – 4ft from the east, light cross-onshore – but not as good as that Thursday glass-off. And that’s your lot. The tail end fades into weak, short-period slop. So here’s the deal: this is a long, dry spell for us. But I’ve seen it turn around before, and that Thursday arvo is the one I’ve got my eye on. Might just be worth a paddle if you can wait.

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.
