Haubush Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up for Haubush. It’s a reef setup, fairly consistent, and sits exposed to the swell. The optimum direction is from the SSE, so we’ll be watching for that.

The start of the outlook is a bit of a write-off, honestly. We’re looking at a few days of poor conditions with strong cross-shore winds and lumpy, choppy surf. The energy is there, but it’s just not clean. We’ll see a building swell through the first weekend, but the wind stays messy. By Sunday the 6th, the swell is pushing 7ft to 8ft from the SSW with a long 13-14 second period, and the combined energy is pumping hard (2694 on Sunday morning, jumping to 4718 by the afternoon). That’s a lot of power, but that cross-shore wind is going to chop it up something fierce. It’s a shame, because the swell is there.

The real standout window is Wednesday the 9th. Now we’re talking. The wind drops right out, going glassy, and the surf is a clean 3ft from the SSW with a 13-14 second period. The energy is moderate (456 and 407), but the conditions are "expect good surf." That’s the one to pencil in. It’s not huge, but it’ll be clean and fun on that reef. The water temp is about average for this time of year.

After that, the forecast gets a bit average again through the second week. There’s a spike in size around the 14th and 15th of September with swell hitting 13ft to 15ft from the E, but the wind is still cross-shore and lumpy. That’s expert territory at that size, and with the chop, it’s not going to be pretty. The 17th of September has a glimpse of a very long period SSW swell (16 seconds) but again, the wind isn’t playing nice.

So, to sum it up: the first week is mostly a battle with the wind, but Wednesday the 9th is your morning to be out there for a glassy, clean session. It’s the only true standout in the whole window. The rest is either too windy, too big, or just not coming together.

Rusty out.
